Click for full imageSo when people escape from prison what usually happens to them? That’s right, their clothes rip. So the guy will be showing his well shaved muscle bound chest where as the women will show basically everything. We’ll have that, but with Mechs too! Because what cover isn’t improved with the addition of Mechs?
Thanks to Christopher!

“The critics had really taken a disliking to Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bonnie Tyler’s duet on a cover version of ‘My Endless Love’.”

Steve Perry, from Journey?
I like the thoughtful look the guy has on his face. It’s kinda like she is saying, ‘Look, you either have me or the huge killer robot behind us. Are you so afraid of a little commitment?’

That Mech doesn’t have opposing thumbs – how is it going to catch them?

They’re escaping! The 80s!!

@DeadRobot Good call! NO one escaped…until now. Oh wait! The 80s came back again. When will we EVER escape?

I never did.

It’s ok James. Curly Perms and mullets are timeless.

From the ripples I’d hazard a guess that they’re not running away ever so quickly. Perhaps she doesn’t want to muss up her artfully ‘just got up and been chased by a killer robot’ 80s hair style.

My favourite bit: the giant lawn sprinkler in the background.

“The Omega cage, it was the highest security prison. Well, actually not as high security as the Alpha ,Beta ,Gamma ,Delta ,Epsilon ,Zeta ,Eta ,Theta ,Iota ,Kappa ,Lambda ,Mu ,Nu ,Xi ,Omicron ,Pi ,Rho ,Sigma ,Tau ,Upsilon ,Phi ,Chi or Psi cages, but it was still a fairly decent prison.”

Your claim that this is not a Baen book is not borne out by the appalling cover art. I suppose Baen was consciously trying to emulate the ‘cover art of yore’…

I have that book. Good read, ridiculous cover.

Teal and orange. So, so, teal and orange.

‘Honey…are you SURE this is the way to the concert?’
‘I dunno, I’ll ask. Hey, buddy? Is this the way to the stadium for the Bon Jovi concert?’
‘Don’t ask me, man. I been followin’ you!’

My God, Lovegrove, could you imagine Arnold and Bonnie doing a duet?
“Eye-lendz in deh stream, dat iz wot we aar
No one in betwiin, hau cun we be wroong
Seeil uh-way wid me to anudder wurld
Und we relie on each odder, ah-haah
From one luvver to anuddher, ah ah…”

Not pictured: the enormous amounts of hairspray it must have taken to get her hair like that. Perhaps the stuff figured into their daring escape plan?

So, is the alarm a wailing siren or an AAAOOOOGAH AAAOOOOGAH AAAOOOOGAH.

ARYngve@16: Your transcription is perfection. I can hear him now; it works best if it’s Conan and Valeria.

“Really? At a moment like this you have to show me how you’ve mastered the jaunty hip pose?”
March 19th, 2021 at 9:45 pm
I find I don’t have much to add, as the very first comment lo these 11(!) years ago, and @ARY’s reply 2 years later summed it all up, save for @BC swooping in with the bon mot.
There is something desperately wrong with the damsel’s skeletal structure. Either that or she’s Arnie’s beloved blow up doll and is deflating unevenly.

It’s a grimdark superprison guarded by battle suits which can only shoot, but at least it’s got a good hairstylist.

It occurs to me that a twenty tonne mechanical suit might not be ideal for chasing people across a swamp. Given the proximity of that swmap to the prison, it ought perhaps to have occurred to someone else first.
Talking of technical difficulties…
