Do Tech and Rev Chase Each Other (like in The Road Runner Show!)

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Tech doesn't chase Rev, however their roots were hinted at in "Family Business" when Rev said his parents had "coyote issues" and were wary about Tech. Tech is probably the exception in his family, though I'd love to see an episode where for some reason Tech and Rev sort of reverted to their more primal instincts and began "The Chase" all over again

I think Tech is beyond his ancestors' hunting instincts; he has control over such biological programming which, in the future, is no longer necessary for survival. Tho', personally, i think he does still possess some natural coyote instincts somewhere underneath his civilised, intellectual demeanor, but he has been able to suppress them.

If they ever did an ep where Tech and Rev go feral, i'd rather it be more a serious toned story than a comical reference back to the old Wile E. & Road Runner shorts. A wild Tech should be scary!

I 100% concur!

Not as scary as a feral Slam...

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Yeah, feral Slam would be tearing up the place and trying to eat everyone, including Zadavia and Tech.

A feral Slam would bring the house down, literally! *Laughs* He'd be a brute force of nature that'd be difficult to contain and stop. But a feral Tech would still be a more organized and methodological natural hunter i think. He'd quietly stalk his prey, then pounce when they are at their most vulnerable.

Maybe a feral Tech maybe just means he'll regress into Wile E., barely saying a word, putting together makeshift inventions from various junk and suffering from an unbelievable bad luck streak.

Eek! No, i don't want to have to see Tech suffer like his ancestor did! Just turn him into a natural hunting coyote that growls authentically for an ep and i'd be happy!

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Aww, that's no fun. Even the Roadrunner family still keeps their "Meep Meep". Tech may get blown up or dropped off a cliff, but we all know he can bounce back (regeneration, baby!). It wouldn't as much suffering, more like annoyance. Besides, a normal coyote on its own doesn't stand a prayer of getting a meal when hunting roadrunners. Look at anytime Wile E. tries to catch Roadrunner the "natural way". He gets left in the dust in a nanosecond. That's why he is forced to turn to inventions.

Damn

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Tech getting blown up or squashed or plummeting down from great heights still comes across as a form of suffering to me! Even though it wouldn't kill him. I just don't want to see him get hurt for nothing! Maybe if they ever did a 'feral' ep story, Ace and the others could even resort to trying to blow a feral Tech up to try and stop him or buy themselves some escape time, but Tech would just reform again madder than before!

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Eh, life is full of suffering. Would do Ace and Lexi a world of good to get the short end of the stick more often. Builds character. That which does not kill you, makes you stronger.

By the way, Black_Oracle, congrats on being the first to reach the Loonatic level!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

You're right! Jeez, i didn't really pay it too much attention. I spend way too much time posting here me thinks! It's an obsession! But yey! I'm a 'Loonatic'! He He!

And how would you give Ace and Lexi more difficulties and misfortunes? They're always portrayed as rather perfect, faultless and highly skilled fighters, coming out on top of everything. They can handle pretty much anything!

Martiangirl · Loonatic

Well physical suffering isn't the only suffering. I think Ace got a taste when he was betrayed by Duece, since he trusted him and wanted to believe he had reformed. Perhaps this experience makes him less trustful and more suspicious in the future. Maybe have a villain who actually tries to reform, but due to Ace's constantly accusing him/her of being up to no good and harassing them, giving them little peace, actually gives up and returns to crime. Then when Ace finds out the truth, he has to deal with the consequences of his actions.

Lexi's a bit tougher, since frankly I don't see too much being done with her now. I'd like to see her having to struggle a bit more in the fights, but I doubt we'll see that happening. Maybe she struggles emotionally with trying to get Ace to notice her for a romantic session, but Ace is either too oblivious or just not interested in her. So one of her goals is trying to win him over. That way, if and when they finally do hook up (preferably near the finale), it's more special for the audience then if they just got together with no problem.

Agreed, agreed! That 1st idea for Ace could make a good ep story. It kinda reminds me of that Batman:TAS ep where Harley Quinn is allowed out of Arkham into society again, and she really tries to resume a normal existence, but unfortunate misunderstandings and circumstances force her into her bad ways again. I'd really like to see some villains in LU that are tragic by nature and not really just 'bad to bone', like Mr. Freeze was for Batman. Those kind of villains really provoke more thought from the audience.

You know that would be scary Do you guys(and Gals) check out my form

kari bunny · Out of This World

nope,all though tece kept falling off the cliff in family bussiness

Zadavias_spirit · Human

Rev and Tech were portrayed as "best friends" in the first season, but it's definitley begun to wear off now in the second season. Maybe by the third season..........*grins evily*

But I hope not. I liked them better as best friends than I would like them as mortal enemies.

Techy_Coyote · Beast

I don't think so, it would be very much the opposite. Evidence would be from Time After Time, at the military base when Time Skip went into the Trollbot 9000, he launched missiles and Rev saved Tech from the missiles.

By the way, welcome to the LUO board , Zadavias_spirit', '', this, 0);">Zadavias_spirit. Hope you enjoy yourself.

Actually in the Wile E and Roadrunner cartoons, when Wile gets a new invention, Roadrunner turns them agaisnt him, without realizing it. Same thing happens in the Loonatics.

Example:

Time after time when Tech got blow up by his own weapon cause Rev already did the modifications

Comet Cometh: Rev throws Tech's bomb and bonuces back at Tech and blows him up.

Family Business: Rev keeps sending Tech over the cliff.

So there is some links to the past. If I have missed any more, plz say.

Well in one of the episodes from season 2 Ace,Lexi and duck went on a Vacation and Tech and Rev were left at HQ and they fought over who was boss so i think Rev gets on Tech nerves

Ha! I remember that part. I can't wait 'till this weekend so I can see Tech tackle Rev again.

But has anyone read the story "The Evolution Process" by Ippiki Ookami no Kage? It's a great fanfic, and it centers around Rev and Tech's friendship and the whole "Chase" thing. It's sad, though (or maybe I'm just an emo...

).

Like I said before, Rev and Tech in "The Evolution Process" appeal to me more than Rev and Tech if they were like their ancestors. Just my opinion, as if anyone wants to hear it. :P

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I loved Ippiki Ookami's "Evolution Process" story too! One of the best Tech fanfics of all!

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

YAY!!! ANOTHER Ippiki Ookami LOVER!!!!!!

There have been some good ideas of what the feral Loonatics would be like; especially Tech, Rev and Slam. I wonder what would happen if Ace and Lexi went feral ... hmm ... I can only guess that they would do what bunnies do best.

I guess feral Duck would probably spend his time sitting in a tub full of water or maybe he would try to quack south for the winter.

I guess if Rev was somehow afflicted with super, duper speed where he lost control of his speed force; Tech would most likely have to create inventions to help catch Rev in order to give him an antidote.

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I did a Tech were-coyote story myself actually. Becuase Tech and Slam are natural predator animals, we would expect them to be more dangerous if they reverted to a feral state. The bunnies and birds are of typical prey species, so you'd think they'd be vulnerable to a hungry wild coyote and Tasmanian devil.

And that idea about Tech having to create inventions to catch an out-control speeding Rev sounds interesting too Super Freak.

Did you post that Tech were-coyote story online? If so, can you give a link? I would love to read that story.

Thanks. That's an extension of the ideas discussed on the TV.com LU forum.

P.S.:
I'm super sorry about the double posts.
