So like the forums are quite so I will make a thread that's some fun for me and hopefully for you too.
Mental omega has a lot of references so can you help me find them all (I think you can edit threads so if you find one I will put it on the list and give you credit k thx bye)
ALLIES:
Blizzard tank
-"The ice tank cometh" is a reference is "The icemen cometh" from batman and robin 1997
-"Winter is coming" is a reference to game of thrones
(Allied list is shit because I don't play allies)
Tsurgi
-"You have 10 seconds to comply" is a reference to robocop
Siege cadre
-"Prism power!" Thanks Damfoos!
Basswave
-"All your base are belong to us!" Another stale meme
SOVIET:
Cyborg prototybe
-There is no real law of war etc. etc whatever. Death_kitty proved that I am infact a lobotomy victim and I have an IQ of 2.3 and I can't remember 2nd grade history lessons.
-"I never asked for this!" is a reference to dues ex's character named adam who at one point of the game says 'I never asked for this" and just like the cyborg he is referring to his cybernetic augmentations
Colonel morales
-"Me gusta!" is a really fucking stale meme that's in this mod for some reason
-"Stop drop and roll! (insert latin word that I can't comprehend here)" I think he says that because he sets troops on fire and like they say that when they're on fire.
-Apparently, colonel morales is a reference to a character named morales from a show as well. they both behave like maniacs. Thanks to Black/Brunez and Martinoz for pointing that one out.
Borillo
-"Through the fire and flames!" is a tribute to dragonforce
Epsilon:
Arial fortress iralaka:
-"This is the end of the world as they know it" It's a song reference, I think. I don't know.
Malver:
-"Nothing lasts forever" Tears for fears song. Or something. Thanks to Schottkey 7th path for these epsilon references.
Oxidizer:
-"Dizer!" I think that this is a reference to grandizer?? I am not sure. But given that the oxidizer sounds depressed 98.69% of the time I think that it is rather weird that he would be excited about anything. So yeah. Grandizer. My favourite show back when I was 5. That was about 15 years ago. And I still remember it.
I, the great blimp make this entire section in dedication to the man who helped me fill this archive more than I have : asdfghjk, Great name by the way.
Dunerider
-"I'm afraid of spiders" Is a reference to spiderman or that boogy person
Malver and Rahn
-A lot of bane memery references
Seawolf:
-"Follow that human crane" Apparently it's a reference but we don't know.
Hijacker
-"Oh I swear officer I, I! Oh.. It's you"
Basswave:
-"I'll play you the song of my people"
Buratino
"I love the smell of napalm in the morning"/"Smells like victory" - Apocalypse Now
Cavalier
-"This'll leave more than a flesh wound" - presumably Monty Python's Black Knight
Stormchild/Gyrocopter:
"Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening"/"I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike" - Queen. Obviously.
Siege Cadre
-"Taste the rainbow!" - Free Skittles advertising
Cyborg Prototype
Colossus
-Basically entirely Meshuggah lyrics/references
I had to edit this because my "tribute" to asdfghjk felt very unhearted and un-genuine so I had to edit it to feel like an average person.
That's all. sorry. I will play with every faction and spam the fuck out of every unit and do every possible action with them to find more references. kthxbye
