ENDING B (CHAOS):
“Mecha-Mintzilla™ is online.” Mecha-Mintzilla™ Mark III takes a step, only to hear, “Self-destruct sequence activated.” She lifts her leg, only to find the self-destruct button the bottom of her hoof. “Seriously, who thought this was a good ide…”
“Mecha-Mintzilla™ is online.” This time Mecha-Mintzilla™ Mark IV examines each of her legs in turn, not finding a self-destruct button anywhere. She rears up, but there’s no sign of it on her barrel either. She trots off, thinking she’s safe, only to catch a glance of something red in her reflection. She walks over to the shiny glass skyscraper and stares, dumbfounded, at her tail. The self-destruct button has been placed under her tail, in the most embarrassing place possible. She blushes and sits down without thinking. “Self-destruct sequence activated.” She facehoofs.
“Mecha-Mintzilla™ is online.” Without checking the underside of her hooves, Mecha-Mintzilla™ Mark V starts trotting toward Mintzilla.
This time she makes it to the rampaging pony, and Mintzilla takes one look at the robot and boops her nose.
“Self-destruct sequence activated.” Mecha-Mintzilla™ Mark V spares a quick glance at her reflection in a backyard swimming pool and sees the button located on her snout. It’s the last thing she does.
“Mecha-Mintzilla™ is online.” Mecha-Mintzilla™ Mark VI wastes no time, immediately finding the big red button and pushing it just to get the inevitable over with. “Self-destruct sequence activated.” She sighs. “Why do I even have a self-destruct button?”
“Mecha-Mintzilla™ is online.” Mecha-Mintzilla™ Mark VII stands there. “I’m just standing here not moving. At all. Ever.” Because she’s stationary, she makes a good resting place for birds, one of which lands on the big red button on the top of her head. “Self-destruct sequence activated.” She whimpers. “I’ll be back!”
The movie underperforms at the box office, but Mecha-Mintys become the must-have item of the holiday season. The factory that was made to produce them for the movie finds itself unable to keep up with demand. Versions without a self-destruct retail for a few thousand bits. Versions with a self-destruct retail for even more… and require signing a waiver.
You wisely kept the merchandise rights to the film, making a fortune and purchasing the now-bankrupt studio.
