Considering that, the actual technology involved with astro's chest reactor must be astronomical. A burnout like this cant be cheap;

It appears that Astro takes a lot of impact before his armor is even damaged. Even then it doesn't seem to damage his internals much.
Image
I only remember seeing him remove any of it once before - It was an episode of the 80's series where he actually removed his cranial armor after getting it bashed in. I had a picture but can't find it now. I think he had a lay of Hawaiian flowers and was blushing earlier in the episode... He does seem to have a stock of spare parts laying around. Uran found one so she could impersonate him.

Uh, I was going somewhere with this thread but looking for that picture of Astro's damaged head armor sidetracked me. Can anyone provide a screenshot of that?

According to this image, he uses Windows :p

And the 95/98 branch at that :o hmy:

Fatal Error 0E! Oh no! Those are the hardest to track down. Astro should update all his drivers, reseat his RAM and install the latest kernel patches.

Those screenshots are from the VCD set I bought on Ebay many years ago. They have dual audio (Chinese/Japanese) and Hardcoded Chinese subs.

There's a chance he even got some episodes from me as I did transcode a bunch of episodes from my set into AVI around 2003.

Also the pic I was looking for was actually from the same episode as the 2nd shot. Obviously I haven't watched the series for much too long, and I'll be rewatching it soon to fix that.

That's the 95/98 branch: no kernel, so you can save on kernel patches :D ( and don't tell me that their "kernel32.exe" file is a kernel ;) )
My guess is that it's a bug in the coffee maker driver: start making coffee, and BAM! :p

This is incredibly disturbing to look at for some reason, it's like they scalped a relative.

Hey tyciol, try not to bump old threads too much unless you really think they have good potential for revival. This thread in particular has multiple users who don't even come here anymore, it was a bit too old to bring back... :unsure:
