Month of prep

which robotnik we talking?

[shades of eternity]

Unless we are going with Wile E. Coyote works at star with Flash and Power Girl (and the road runner is one of his mistakes he's been trying to fix), Robotnik has the actual feats.

[The Chou Lives]

I thought we said Road Runner happens to be a super reality altering being.

Feats?? Why does Robotnik needs any feats?

We have over 20 years of feats of Wile E. Coyote buying products from Acme, setting the products up and seeing the traps blow up (with/without Road Runner's assistance). The traps normally take the Coyote out at that time.

Robotnik just needs to show up with a basic force field and watch the chaos ensure. There is probably a 2% chance that he actually has to lift a finger. Wile E. Coyote, with a month of prep, is a 10-count waiting to happen.

Not really 90% of the time it's the runners fault allso they don't really put him down for the count he's just kinda hurt.

Tend to agree here.

I'm trying to come up with even a handful of instances where things have gone anything except "Sideways..." for Wile E.

Even just something that tripped him up but didn't really jack him up is kind of hard to come up with.

Which is peachy in a scenario where the opponent is just messing with Wile E. for the laughs.

Against any sort of an opponent who is out to put an actual hurting on him Wile E. is in serious trouble.

To be fair to Wile E., he seems to be almost immortal. He's come back from being vaporized.

He's still a ten-count waiting to happen. Wile E. is one of my favourite cartoon characters and yet, he's awful for Rumbles purposes. He's the wrong type of toon-warper. Everything bad happens to him for comedic effort.

if we are using archie robotnik, he could just bring in the ultimate Annihilator.

[The Drunkard Kid]

The correct answer is that Robotnik enslaves Wile E. Coyote, who subsequently breaks free and betrays him, then ends up blowing them both up by accident.

[theoneandonly]

it will all come crashing down and end in collision.

[Ultra_Sonic]

Yeah, I remember that.

The mere AFTER-EFFECTS of using that weapon (because Snively secretly altered it to target only Robotnik's DNA) kind of broke reality (on a small scale, at least).

[Ultra_Sonic]

To be fair, the only reason why Wile E. never caught Road Runner because the Looney Tune gods "wouldn't allow him to".


In other words, the writers & animators were under standing orders from their bosses to "never allow Wile E. to catch the Road Runner".
