Shadow Raiders - Battle Moons vs Beast Planet

[@lucemonfalldownmode]

One of the few fictional villains that was indestructible. The Beast Planet was so resilient and powerful that the only way to stop it was to teleport it as far as possible.

[@PhelesDragon]

I thought so too! But I rewatched the show these last few weeks, and they actually did damage it! In "Timebomb", right after Jungle explodes and the Beast appears unharmed, Jade notices a monitor that shows there's damage to the left "door" of The Beast. Given her monarch status by the end of the season, I wonder if the intent wasn't to have Jade be the one to ultimately destroy The Beast in season 3...

[@lucemonfalldownmode]

@@PhelesDragon Yes, I also noticed that one of the doors of the Beast Planet got damaged, in fact, in the following episode the doors aren't completely closed. Who knows how the writers intended to end the show, maybe we'll never know.

@@lucemonfalldownmode maybe one day we will, but probably not unfortunately. Btw, love the name

I figured the only way to kill the beast planet was to turn its own weapon against it. It fires one of those Null Energy blasts. With 2 Battlemoons you could theoretically deflect the energy twice and return it to sender. I wonder if the Beast planet is capable of weathering its own firepower. Or like the metaphor with dragons is they are fireproof on the outside but not so much on the inside.

@@MrNintoku "I figured the only way to kill the beast planet was to turn its own weapon against it" How do you "kill" something that's not alive? "I wonder if the Beast planet is capable of weathering its own firepower" Most likely...

[@AcanLord]

Pretty much nobody else in fiction has ever been so screwed as that battle moon pilot was.

[@AcanLord]

um yeah definitely. simply falling into lava isnt nearly as batshit extreme as having a PLANET SIZED CANNON aiming at you.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

@AcanLord A planet sized canon that shoots null energy! Which according to the Shadow Raiders lore, merely touching it can make you just simply vanish in a bright white/yellow light... XD

[@abloogywoogywoo]

True. But also anyone devoured by the Beast Planet is assimilated into it, when is pretty much total locked-in syndrome with a monster looming over you 24/7, i.e. hell.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

@@abloogywoogywoo No monster, just your benevolent overlord. ^^

[@EmptyMan000]

They're like gnats trying to fight an elephant.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

More like a giant dragon with reinforced armoured plating... XD

[@Zadolbalkin]

I like how he tried to get cover himself with hands to protect from total molecular annihilation.

[@comradecockatoo3558]

Instinct mate. I bet you a tank pilot would do the same thing before they got blown up by an opposing shot.

[@MELDtoys]

As a Vietnam War combat Veteran, I attest the truth of this ... PTSD trigger!

[@umbrella12]

The only villain that is still alive and noone knows how to defeat it, only delayed him

[@Renkencen]

If only that pilot to the green battle moon was more competent at moving AWAY from the cannon line of fire!

[@abloogywoogywoo]

Trying to find a weakness to no avail. There was a way to cripple the Beast, but the series ended on a cliffhanger instead...

[@Renkencen]

@@abloogywoogywoo It just ended with nah, let send it to somewhere far away and let it be someone else problem!

[@abloogywoogywoo]

@@Renkencen lol, let's take the unstoppable planet eater, and push it somewhere else!

[@Renkencen]

@@abloogywoogywoo Lol yeah you summed it better than I did! I remember the ending with that scale/ reptile planet hitting doomsday.

[@GuardianAllin]

Its likely their "fast movement" was momentum gained from orbiting the beast planet, when it was knocked away from one of the shots, engines might have gotten shaken up, regaining speed was no longer an option. He tried his best to atleast disable the enemies gun... to no avail... At the start they were flying in fast and using orbiting as a means to evade attack, too bad it lacked any damage...

[@robertkenny1201]

I heard that the beast itself is actually some kind of large creature inside the Beast Planet, and had this series continued Tecklas memories would have helped the alliance cripple the Beast Planet only to reveal the creature inside of it.

[@SuperVladdrakula]

You sure? It definitely doesn't seem that way...

[@abloogywoogywoo]

@@SuperVladdrakula The entire battlestation is just its dinner plate - it lives in a universe of null matter, its like Invictus from Final Space.

[@SuperVladdrakula]

@@abloogywoogywoo There isn't exactly much indication of it in the series... But whatever...

[@abloogywoogywoo]

@@SuperVladdrakula This was all the official website lore, which is long gone now. Sucks this got cancelled.

[@SuperVladdrakula]

@@abloogywoogywoo "This was all the official website lore, which is long gone now." It's not very convincing... I always felt that they just made up a bunch of crazy stuff that does not actually even get a reference within the series itself. "Sucks this got cancelled." That is true, though.

[@joshuacaban1160]

I love shadow raiders

[@mikhailsharon4331]

That's 2 moons down.

[@kidacma3752]

Even the sun cann't destroy that thing.Moon? Pathetic

[@PerfectAlibi1]

Yeah, the Beastplanet will happily go THROUGH the star of a system. ^^

[@MELDtoys]

@@PerfectAlibi1 I stole a saucer, flew through the sun with a set of neighbor twins in 1960 in my short story, "We Are From The Milky Way Galaxy".

[@zergmon9999]

The Imperium of Man would like to know its location.

[@henryheavy8044]

That thing is near indestructible enough that it passed through the sun and shot a moon destroying cannon from across the system

[@ChrisandSimon]

I bet Saitama could beat the Beast Planet
