[@dynestis2875]

@@Chineseconcrete I completely disagree. Just because they have heat rays, a weapon which requires you to precisely aim at your target like a laser pen, does not mean they are effective weapons of war. Plus, it is their only weapon and each tripod only has 2 of them. If you wanna bet between the seriously huge target profile with an absurdly hot laserpointer and a company of tanks, air support, artillery and missile strikes then my money is on humanity 100%. The *ONLY* reason these aliens got as far as they did is because their shields rendered each and every one of our weapons ineffective.

@@AnExoplanetNo. According to the movie, the tripods are basically multi-purpose. Reminder, the one in boston had tentacles and its death-ray equipped. Why would a fighter-pod have tentacles? Because all tripods are multi-purpose. It’s why the cages are held up by what are essentially cables since they are reattachable. It’s why there are holes for the said cages on the first tripod in the intersection in the movie. Also, having your war machines have food/fertilizer hanging on their backs would allow for the pilots to be well-fed and help with the harvesting operation immensely.

I only just realized there are actually multiple types of tripods. I noticed some looked different but I just thought was due to different angles/lighting, but they are actually different. The first one we see in the movie has no tentacles or cages, it only has heat rays, so its purely for destruction. Whereas the ones at 1:50 and 3:08 have tentacles and cages, but no heat rays, they are meant for harvesting. And there is also a third variant that have both harvesting equipment and heatrays, apparently called warriors. They have bigger, smoother heads and 5 lights instead of 3, and can be seen at 1:42. Edit: huh, I just noticed the one they take down at the end has tentacles and heatrays, but doesnt appear to have cages or the bigger head, weird.

One thing this movie does better than any other mainstream invasion film is conveying hopelessness. Seriously, if not for viruses, they would have won.

@@Hiky01Prime why were there 3 commander tripods there? Its usually 1 commander tripod then a large group of soldier tripods and harvester tripods.

[@Hiky01Prime]

@@Shregurun93 Maybe it's because at that point of the invasion, the Tripods were starting to converge to a single point. My theory is that, after wiping the largest cities, by logic, whoever survived the first attacks would evacuate to countryside. By default, that would be the next hotspot for killing and harvesting, so the Tripods would be there too (you may remember that at the ferry scene, we can see a total of 9 Tripods in a single area, surrounding a single area. 10 Tripods, if you count a quick lighning that comes down during a quick frame of one of the scenes, that were probably another pack of aliens coming down to another Tripod). This mass convergence would atract a major number of various classes of Tripods as well, so by chance, 3 Commander class appeared together at the same site.

[@Shregurun93]

@@Hiky01Prime that is actually a smart martian plan in annihilating humanity, target the major cities then go after the countryside. I still find it kinda weird how there are still 3 commander tripods in one area but your theory already answered that.

[@Hiky01Prime]

@@Shregurun93 Yeah, it's a logic plan. Those lucky enough to survive the first wave of attacks would move as far as possible from the epicenter of chaos. Naturally, they would converge to areas that were once remote or not as populated as the major cities. By default, that would creat new hotspots, and the Tripods would only need to move to areas that were once not as populated as the major cities. As for the Commander class Tripods, maybe they got there by chance. I think it would be easier for more Tripods of the same class to converge at a single area by then. Or...maybe more Commanders appeared to even the odds against the military. By the second day of invasion, the military would be more hostile against the aliens, they would start to mobilize their biggest guns, so, to correspond to that level of retaliation, the Commanders were sent to level the military forces more easily. Or faster.

[@MythicSuns]

I will always think of the tripods (at least the ones in both of the War of the Worlds films) as being reminiscent of Achilles. The term "Achilles heel" comes from the myth of the Greek hero Achilles who was dipped into the river styx by his mother which granted him invulnerability wherever the water touched his body, but because his mother held him by his heel the water only reached the rest of his body which meant that a simple strike to the heel could bring him down. I make the comparison because in much the same way, despite the tripods coming across as invulnerable we find out that they have two simple(ish) weaknesses. The first being an apparently weak interior given that we see Tom Cruise's character take down a harvester with nothing but a couple of grenades, and the second being a lack of immunity to the various bugs and bacterias on Earth that we as a species built up an immunity to over time. Either way their story is a story of irony; a race of aliens with technology far more advanced than our own seemed to get the upper hand but ultimately got destroyed by their own oversight.

@@MasterTopHat Most military vehicles are EMP shielded, hence them working in the movie. Its just that the Tripods have some OP shields which conventional weaponry can hardly penetrate it. However, the shields have range, and once you are in it, the thing is toast. So I think thats the reason why some fell during the battle of Japan. Urban warfare is a nightmare, even for aliens.

The ending of this movie was really spot on. Because of how true it is. If an extra terrestrial species does come and invade Earth they might just die as soon as they’re exposed to the atmosphere. I mean humans can’t survive on Mars, Saturn, Mercury or Uranus for various obvious reasons alone. Don’t forget all the insects and diseases and stuff.

im just gotta put some part-scenes of which tripod variants was showed (some of them might not been multi-roled, but just a metaphor) 0:00 Uberpod/Warrior/Commander/Leader type, their Heat Rays are far more superior and stronger, and much more durable than Destroyers, sadly we didn't hear its best and nightmarish roar/horn, but we did saw how terrifying when it went Spontaneous head-on-fire (the ablaze scene) 1:49 Harvester, unharmed, capable of capturing humans and collecting their "source", after collecting every humans, they began to Harvest (as you see right now with their multiple tentacles seems to be digging) and dispersed Red Mist. 6:21 Destroyers, armed with Heat Rays but no cages, they can use their heat rays to annihilate every humans if those/other harvester having difficult to collect more humans, they also annihilate every humans and those who are fighting against it, every time they sound their horns, they call for backup/assistances or spotted humans

[@sandroe.8168]

Yes, you nailed it, there are 3 different species of tripods

[@levthemapperxd]

⁠No. According to the movie, the tripods are basically multi-purpose. Reminder, the one in boston had tentacles and its death-rays equipped. Why would a fighter-pod have tentacles? Because all tripods are multi-purpose. It’s why the cages are held up by what are essentially cables since they are reattachable. It’s why there are holes for the said cages on the first tripod in the intersection in the movie. Also, having your war machines have food/fertilizer hanging on their backs would allow for the pilots to be well-fed and help with the harvesting operation immensely.
