    No, I didn't have huge thumbs but I also didn't have huge fingers either.

    I'm not being rude when I say this, this is a stupid topic. Much more of an annoying thread than it is a discussion thread.

    Anyway, I've got to go. I might be back later or I just might not GAF.
    So a gears fan sharing a theory with the community is stupid and annoying. Fair enough.

    If the Wretch had a second row of teeth, a forked tongue and forward-set eyes, I'd be convinced. Interesting, and frightening theory none the less.

    I managed to snatch a snippit of Wretch DNA from the EPIC HQ. The results may shock you.







    They are 96% identical to pubic lice found living on on Nicki Minaj.

    They could develop these as they age, maybe? Kantus eyes are the same as Wretches!

    That's what I'm thinking. Think about a Caterpiller. They start out COMPLETELY different then what they end up as, a Butterfly. It is a completely possible theory, maybe the Wretches are to become Kantus, but they must prove themselves?

    we you also have to kinda think about the locust society in general. more than likely a completely seperate society of many different sub-species are going to interact differently.

    this is sort of like saying if aliens found us, that dogs and cats are the younger stages of human maturity.

    it would make sense in a way seeing as how a berzerker is a beefcake nude kantus. that a wretch would be a tarded baby kantus.

    i honestly would like to think that Epic put a little more thought in the Locust species instead of just making it completely similar to humanity.

    I dont think Drones, Boomers and Berserkers are related to the Katus and Wretches!

    Compare a Drone to Boomer/Berserker, maybe Drones are also infants.

    While a nice attempt, It makes no sense given how many wretches there are and their tendency to travel in huge packs, vs how few kantus there are. Why on earth would a priest like figure highly regarded among locust be used as cannon fodder and sent out as unarmed infants in the early stages of its life, to basically die.

    They are described as degenerate locust. Meaning weak, small, inferior. Which is what they are . In the words of Tao - "no"

    right. what i am saying is that they are possibly all separate species funtioning is one social structure.

    my point with ppl not understanding this "IDEA" was the dog cat reference.

    dogs and cats have 4 limbs, eyes, nose, mouth, hair, warm blooded, internal skeletal structure, blah blah blah. if an alien race that HAD NEVER BEEN EXPOSED TO OUR PLANETS LIFE witnessed us they would probably try to associate and compare us with themselves to understand us. if epic thought them out more elaborately, then you comparing the locust sociology and maturation to humans is kind of shallow.

    In a wartime enviroment there is not much time to sit around and ask the creature trying to kill me why the rape their females instead of asking them out on dates.

    Sorry not sure if you are kidding around or not so I will answer properly xD
    Drones are Boomers! Boomers are just larger and less intelligent because of the way they are raised/trained. Hell look at RAAM there was no way he was an "infant" and he was a drone who got promoted again and again. So using RAAM shows that drones are not baby boomers (although boomers are just bigger fatter drones)

    Which fits in with the Locust way, I thought you voted against.

    @ Captain Ped - RAAM looked more lika halfway between Drone and Boomer to me.

    so they fill a pit with wretches and torch the place and the kid that makes it out alive gets to be a kantus? sounds fair.

    RAAM IS a drone who was promoted to theron then promoted a number of times before he reached the rank of General, the reason he looks like a drone/boomer is because they are both the same thing just different sizes (Drone= average human, Boomer=Sumo RAAM=massive scary guy)

    Also what I am trying to say is the locust do NOT send out baby drones (which are cannon fodder as adults) so why would they send out their Shaman babies bearing in mind they did not even have a fighting role in the first 14-15 years of the war.

    Well, they do have nutcase females which they allegedly rape, and then there's what they did to Maria.

    To prove their worth, cull the herd, this is the Locust, they don't do things in a humane way or by human standards.

    Shamans dont even have to fight so prove their worth in what way? You wouldnt send out a dumb worker made for fighting but you would send out your priest who doesnt even HAVE to fight? Your logic is flawed.

    the Locust send out their women, the Berserkers, into battle, why not the Kantus infants. Whose to say all Wretches are destined to be allowed to become Kantus Priests.

    Exactly, judge Locust by Locust standards, not our own.
