In Lasertown, it’s always about keeping up with the Joneses …laser.
@fred: well, it’s a giant laser, presumably, so I guess he can aim it like a laser pointer? (Massive collateral damage, you say? That’s a feature, not a bug.)
He needs to be cautious when standing up, as the top angle of his greaves will pinch off his kneecaps when those thigh-protectors get around to the vertical.
Also, who here likes that enormous ring sight on the top of his laser rifle? Super-accuracy, ahoy!
@Bruce: that would explain the helmet size. The front and sides are regulation, but maybe he’s got a mullet-fro in the back. Or maybe the person (or puppet) he got the helmet from had big 80s hair.
That villain’s name just always reminds me of cheap gasoline.

I don’t know what he uses to keep that itchy crotch from driving him insane, but I hope it’s non-prescription.

A 10 million quatloo weapon with a .00001 quatloo aiming system. Good luck with that.

Art Direction: What do you mean you can’t fit a bigger gun on the cover? PIVOT!

He had a laser the size of a sequoia. But could he hit the broad side of a barn?

@fred—You’d think a 10 million quatloo laser rifle might have something more sophisticated than a bolt-action slide for loading.

It’s a laser. Why is there smoke coming out of the barrel?

@Tat Wood: good question. Perhaps we’re misinterpreting and that’s actually a giant laser-themed bong.

First thought: None more 80s. The top font alone.
Helmet’s too big, gun’s too big, crotch armor and general lower body armor’s too small. You’d think the Emperor’s Guard would have better equipment.
I see many others have commented on the sheer implausibility of that supposed laser gun.
I’d like to throw in a “too-close moon” observation.
@Tat: did you know multiple Hugo winner Mary Robinette Kowal was one of the puppeteers on that show?

@Tat Wood: would that make the traitor mentioned on the cover Robbie Rotten?
@GSS ex-noob: perhaps there’s big 80s hair under the big helmet.
