To be able to aim behind as well as the side probably requires a turret. Such an upgrade is really pushing it on a pre-existing vehicle. It might be better to make a whole new vehicle from scratch with all your requirement worked in from the start. |

That's why I took the passenger's seat out and moved the driver over to the middle, so the miniguns could slip in on both sides of him. |

The problem is that the turret might unbalance the whole car. |

You mean make it front heavy? Edit: ![]() Looks smack dab in the middle to me.

Well more top heavy, also the maintenance cost will be murder. To get your guns to work like you want and mount them on the Tumbler will require high quality parts, the kind which tends to break easily. EDIT: DAMN YOUR EDITS!

Since I've already spent $100 billion+ on the Hand of the FSM, I think the maintenance cost for the Tumbler will be relatively modest. |

Let me rephrase it: The car will be about as reliable as Canada’s Sea Kings, most likely worse. EDIT: For some reason I always thought it was The Spirit of FSM. No clue why. |

We're talking about a gigantic bunker busting nuclear stealth cruise missile with lasers sticking out of it and a hanger bay containing multiple drop pods, power armours, a whole team of space marines, a triple-duty man cannon, and the Batmobile here man. I think suspension of disbelief has been in action for a while now. :rolleyes: |

The Hand of the FSM is believable with future tech, it’s also freaking huge. The problem with the Batmobile is it uses more realistic tech and you’ve asked for some pretty crazy add-ons. I like to keep each tech group separate when I can. I don’t like things like an F-35 shooting lightning bolts, but a magic powered airship which shoots fireballs is fine. I hope this explains why I’ve been so resistant to your Batmobile upgrade. |

All right, scrap the dual saboted depleted uranium flechette miniguns then. :rolleyes: But still, keep the new seat configuration and use the space to store extra ammo. |

Can’t I just upgrade the autocannons to fire the new ammo plus one other kind using a dual feed system? Also what kind of rocket, just the standard what ever kind? |

Regular rockets will do, and the standard cannons are fine. Do you have Excalibur, Mjolnir, the Ark of the Covenant, the Golden Fleece, or Pandora's Box in stock? |

They would be in the divine section. That section is restricted to members who hold the MMS’s Divine level clearance. Membership application can be acquired when the store opens. |

Do you have multiples, or just one of each item? |

What about Cupid's Bow, Death's Scythe, Cronus' Sickle, the Spear of Destiny, or a Mord-Sith Agiel? Edit: I also want to add two ASP batons and one direct contact Taser to my vigilante gear order. Do you sell superpowers? If so, I'd like superstrength, invulnerability, and reincarnation with full memory of previous lives, starting with this one. |

Cool. What's the treatment like? Is the process unpleasant? Anything like what Wolverine went through when they bonded the adamantium to his skeleton? Am I gonna be dunked into a tank and have a hundred needles stuck in me? Can I get a full medical while I'm there? And do you have any hot nurses? There was something else... Oh yeah! Do you sell any mythological creatures as pets? I'd like a manticore, or a gryphon. |
