Welp, at least if the robots are made of brass, Tarnish'll have the materials he'll need to make more bullets.

"I gotta gun that shoots brass balls."
Perhaps the most apropos bit of music available for this chapter. I dunno, I might be wrong, but it sums up the mood in a most excellent way.
I lost it
Wow
Tarnish is badass, man.
Warlord indeed.
what....... why is there a hitler in equestira?
8070464
What does Hitler have to do with this?
Tarnish made German warbots scared of him and his big gun.
Congratulations, Tarnish. You are the new Prussian Space Marine
So the automatons are programmed to hold nothing back if they think they are facing a Germane? Or is Tarnish a Kriegs-pony in the same way that Maud is a rock-pony?

Oh, it is all a mistake, really. Tarnish spoke a certain language that the automatons associate with war. Now, they (mistakenly) believe that Tarnish is a war-pony, and now they are going to plan accordingly so he can be processed.
8070470
he means a german
word association failed him and his brain autocorrected to hitler
8070470 german!
Oh Tarnish, so scary even lifeless machines fear him.
Though it seems he may have provoked everyone at once. Risky.
Oh, R&D, huh? Oh man. Oh boy.
Processing... processing... Possible crackpot theories inbound.
Hmm. From the first chapter with the mechanoids:
It didn't even look at the unicorns of the group. Just the pegasi. The unicorns were immediately labelled inferior flesh. So... Skyreach is after pegasi? The dead ones... they were 'pure blooded', right? Hm.
Body number one. Broken wings. His message talks about purebloods still being 'processed', and a fog, and the whole adventure party going 'mad' and canniballistic.
Body number two. We learn that Spear Breaker is the one who set the processing onto purebloods as well. That #1 and #2 were both purebloods, and that they presumably brought along a bunch of slightly more mixed pegasi - all the others.
Spear Breaker was the one who hacked the automatons, and Specimen Zero... I... don't think they're the same thing but there's not really enough to tell for sure here. Side note: automatons seem to have self-awareness?
So, we have two main things here:
What exactly did these pegasi do?
- How much did they change?
- What were they there for?
- How did they know to have purebloods?
What was happening before?
- What is processing and what was the other option?
- What is the fog?
- What is Skyreach? (Plot twist: the centaurs just wanted to give everyone an Icelandic yoghurt. Skyr each.)
- How are the Windigoes involved?
...Windigoes feed on hate. Windigoes are relevant and important to Skyreach because they're the cover art.
Windigoes are based on Wendigoes, which are normally said to be cannibalistic monsters/evil spirits, driven by an insatiable hunger to consume human flesh. In this case...
These pegasi had been eating meat (processed meat?) of some kind, and when 'mad' definitely eating other ponies...
I don't suppose... the pegasi were being turned into Windigoes?
Apologies for the rambling but this is really interesting.

SNERK
DOUBLE SNERK
...and now I'm just ashamed!
Tarnish just had to open his face-hole
8070425
Well, I don't know what Tarnish said to the automaton, but it's nothing compared to what Sumac would have said!
Ew! Ew! Ew!

Tarnish's antics are in full form today so awesome.
8070549 for your efforts, lol.

Oh, there have been gasification guns and steam powered weapons. I made a blog post highlighting them some time ago. The Bellringer is entirely possible, and back in WWII, the Germans made some fearsome steam powered weapons and gasification cannons. Things have improved considerably since then. Portability is the problem.

What probbly saved Daring Do from worse damage to the flesh of her frogs was that the heat transfer would have been imperfect. First, the superheated steam would not have transferred all its thermal energy to the metal (though woefully much, as metals are heat-conuctive); then the contact between flesh and metal was brief; finally not all the thermal energy would have been transmitted from metal to flesh.
Still seriously painful.
Ever read the early scene in Johnny Tremain that makes one wince?(1). The one where Johnny is partially crippled for life by molten silver?
Ouchie.
(1) Made me wince, when I first read it in junior high, anyway.
Powder?
It's either 'Kriegspony' or 'Kriegs-Pony'. And usage of the latter is very, very seldom.
Tarnish scared it with words...Sumac would have destroyed its will to live.
You sir have low standards.
8073827 He could be referring to the effects on certain parts of the anatomy, namely the excruciating burning and/or melting
8073605
I think I'm missing something. Who is Sumac?
9408691

Sumac is most certainly not that.
