Possibly. But let's remember that the host is just a piece of meat for the unit to bond to. The unit bonds not only to the body but the mind and brain as well. So it would be of no suprise that a sufficiently advanced unit could alter the brain and mind of the host.

Well, I am not going to speculate, but let's remember that the current timeline was never supposed to exist and that by having WG save Earth he caused a massive ripple effect that not only affected his universe but others. On top of that it's a paradox as well, since WG already existed when he went back in time to change history. So literally history was rewritten and probably caused massive consequences on multiple dimensions and levels, side from merely saving Earth.

The interesting thing is that Aceaer Marine died in the second battle where as Faye had her unit damaged in the first battle. So if Faye died she would ahve died as Aceaer Female. But anyway, like I said we know what the events are. When Twlight Guyver goes back in time he only knows up to 3 days in the future so in honesty he wouldn't know that by saving AM, he might in long run end up having someone else killed.

CVNX-1 may have been a compromize but it was a good one. Even by 2013, the US Navy would still have the need for normal carriers and the Ford class would have been good enough even at that time. This is no longer of the US Navy of the 40's and 50's where they can spend huge amounts of money on coventional and non-conventional designs. The US Navy for the past 100 years has always been on the forefront of naval developments. They may not have developed them originally, but they matured them. The superfiring turret for their first dreadnought, the South Carolina class allowed for a ship to have equal firepower to other nations dreadnoughts on a fraction of the size and one less turret due to better placement. It was the Russians who came up with the idea of the superfiring turret, but never went forward with it. The South Carolina class would have been the first dreadnought before HMS Dreadnought if it wasn't for Congress being so slow. The develpment of the large fleet carrier was a direct result of the converted large hulls of the Lexington class battlecruisers that allowed in conjunction with the USS Langley and the USS Ranger that allowed the Navy to conclude that the most efficient carrier was a large one. It was the British who came up with the idea of angled flight decks, and it was the Navy would developed the idea even further. However, the CVNX-2 design is still to radical for today's needs. Something as expensive as the carrier would need further time and money before the Congress can be covinced that the new CVNX-2 design is superior to the CVNX-1 design. BTW, the Navy hasn't done anything on the battleships aside from a few studies for the past two decades. It would cost anywhere from a mere reactivation cost of 500 million to 2 billion dollars to fully refit them from 1980's technology to 2008 technology. The biggest problem with battleships is that we don't have the industry to foll out armor plates, and manufacture 16" shells anymore and on top of that have manpower to man the battleships. Also, they're overkill for today's oceans. There are not alot of armor piercing shells or missiles that can penetrate battleship armor.

Bio-Booster Armor Guyver
McAvoy replied to zeo's topic in Guyver Science / General Science Lab Forum
Well it was obvious that Goku never stopped getting stronger. Anyone who watches the sahow would know that. What I meant was the power increase every time he got injured was stopped. I just personally believe it was never proportional to the power level, but merely an addition as it were. 100 points to every time Goku gets hit in the head as opposed to 10% for example. As far as the kids were concerned, we never really knew why they went SSJ so quickly with the exception of Gohan. Remember if the kids got stronger as the result of the parents getting stronger, then eventually the Saiyan Empire would have toppled Freiza. As it turned out the kids being born with high or low power levels was just a stroke of luck. Goku being 2 and so forth. The only difference would have been the that the parents at the time were SSJ. -
...or the Temporal Paradox of the WG universe caused a W'Kar element to split itself into many different pieces. Just an idea.
-
I agree. But let's remember that this was never supposed to happen. It was the events of the Meeting of the Warriors that caused W'Kar to become Anubis. If we assume now of course that those events never happened, but the Creator invasion of Earth was still going to happen, then chances are like the Kregen wanted, W'Kar would end up becoming a much more powerful version of himself. Same old Greg, give or take, just more power.
-
Ereshkigal probably would not have defeated Dreadnought. Two things were going for him. His unit was starting to learn to adapt to the poison and two, he already defeated her once with a weak version of the Tsunami Wave. By the time sahe came back he would be at full power again, and almost. But even then, she would be overpowered by Dreadnought's brute power over her. But it was a good fight. We don't know if she was converted to the way she is right now or she is naturally like that like Malice.
-
It would only be like that because we already know what happens. No one would know that at that time any of those events. But then again WG2 giving his alternate self a Praetorian unit would be kind of cool, be a good team.

Poll: Warrior Guyver vs. Warrior Guyver
McAvoy replied to McAvoy's topic in Warrior Guyver Fan-Fiction
Remember that both Type 1 and Type 2 units are for the most part identical, it's just different in how they channel their energy. The WG2 units are not only the final unit but supposed to the original version. The Gravity Shield I think was created to combat the Black Nova unit. -
Bio-Booster Armor Guyver
McAvoy replied to zeo's topic in Guyver Science / General Science Lab Forum
The whole Sayian thing though got dropped right after Goku went SSJ. I think after a certain point, Saiyans would be too powerful for the Saiyans to get more powerful from injury like before. The only time we see the Saiyans get stronger was before they got around to Freiza's level. So presumably, being a SSJ Guyver Goku and then get injured would not affect the whole 'power up' thingie. Or... the Guyver unit could maximize the Saiyan's base power to the max. -
Oh I feel so special... Everyone thinks they're right and you're wrong, it's just the most danagerous ones are the ones that can force you to think you are wrong. Anubis may think he's right, or maybe he may made all that up for ultimate power. The power to control people.
-
So... the question is who is Guyot? EDIT: Imakarum could also be Mike Cox you know too.
-
That is true. Though like I said if he can go back in time to save a person than he can prevent other disasters as well. Though in the case of the movie Butterfly Effect which is an extreme version of the like said term, going back three days and saving Aceaer Marine probably won't change history THAT much.

Well, the US Navy always do Navy studies since 1886. They did during the battleships design process and hell they did before the conversion of the Lexington and Saratoga conversions. They ironically designed the carrier of 1918 to 1919 based on the battlecruiser design studies that was eventually going to be the Lexington class battlecruiser. Though it was an earlier design with the 10x14"/50 caliber, with 24 boilers (and seven funnels) as opposed to the final design of the 8x16"/50 caliber, with 16 boilers. Hell they even proposed instead of the proposed six that one of two wcould be converted into aircraft carriers. Many think that the Lexington class aircraft carriers could have been built differently, but in reality they would have been built similarly, though slightly different due to the advanced construction state of the battlecruisers. During the 1930's there were multiple design studies which also included the USS Hornet which the Navy found that the Hornet was indeed too small to be effective. Of course battleship design studies were done all throughout the 1920's and 1930's. But the biggest problem is that the US Navy could afford to build up to 17 fast battleships, two North Carolina class treaty batleship, four South Dakota treaty battleships, six Iowa class fast battleships, five Montana class super battleships, 24 Essex class Fleet carriers, and five Midway class Fleet Carriers. Nowadays the Navy can afford to built only a carrier every three years, so it really cannot afford to build an untested design. CVNX-2 I can tell you will continue for a long time. But the CVNX-1 is already the Ford class which will replace the Enterprise and various Nimitz class carriers.

McAvoy replied to McAvoy's topic in Warrior Guyver Fan-Fiction
Not exactly. The Apothecary Guyver was designed to support the baby. All the technology was centered around that. -
It's unlikely that the CVN-81 will be something different than the Ford class. It costs too much money to design a carrier from scratch. It's one of the reasons why the Nimitz class has been building for 30 years.
-
Actually what you are talking about the Ford class. The USS Gerald Ford will replace the Enterprise, and the CNX-2 will replace the Nimitz. The G. Bush will replace the ****ty Kitty. The CVNX-1 also will have only three elevators, new type of reactor that is lighter that is more maintainence friendly and is supposedly better in fuel than the older reactors from the Nimitz class (though there are two types of Nimitz classes). It also has the improvements carried over from the Bush and Reagen like the bulbous bow for more bouyancy in the bow. It is also part stelathy too so it doesn't show up on radar. Oh it is not in a couple of years, more like five years in 2013 which shows how long it takes to build a carrier. ...but what I would really like to see the Iowa class recommissioned so I can cross-rate and serve on one of those ships. Unfortunately they are way too expensive for the Navy.
-
I say Malice because he is that without being converted by Anubis. He is like that all on his own and on top of that the W'Kar unit he has kinda doesn't mess with his emotions in that way but supposed to make him calm. So he is a calm pyschopath.
-
I don't like the idea of using Twilight Guyver as some sort of Dragonball wish. Though remember that if Temporal Guyver does prevent Aceaer Marine's death, he would cause a new temporal paradox that wouldn't be on the same scale as the Guyver Zoalord's death, it would be similar.

Poll: Warrior Guyver vs. Warrior Guyver
McAvoy replied to McAvoy's topic in Warrior Guyver Fan-Fiction
The point I was saying about the Gravity Shield was that neither WG or WG5 would reach their maximum potential of the shield. Even with WG5's flawed control medal, he would able to handle any gravity attacks thrown his way from the other Warrior Guyvers. In all honesty, the WG2 unit might be able to dominate the battlefield if they are smart since they can be literally twice as powerful as the other Warrior Guyvers. But WGC or WG might be able to get in lucky shots or someone is stupid enough to use multiple gravity attacks on WG. Or someone just stands still so WGC can hit him. -

McAvoy replied to McAvoy's topic in Warrior Guyver Fan-Fiction
Le'ts keep in mind that the WG and the WG5 both would never would seriously reach their limit in their gravity shields. Also, remember that the WG5 fought WG2 and WG2 beat him around using the CPMs. I don't know whether or not the WG5 is equally as trained as WG but it does show how effective a WG2 unit can be. WGC has the most powerful weapon but he has to literally ram his oponent which limits it's effectiveness. WG4 may be the weakest but he can be deadly close range, though long range weapons would kill him since he has no shields. -
Thanks. For clarification if anyone is interested I am an AME which means I work on ejection seats, LCS, ECS and oxygen systems. I worked on F-14B, F/A-18E and F/A-18F. The Super Hornets already have this ability though not quite modular. For example that the Super Hornets can refuel other planes with the ARS pod which allowed the SH to replace the S-3. Or they could equip it with the SHARPS pod. The ATs can also reprogram the avionics for specific missions. One of the biggest problems with a modular design for a Navy ship is the structural design which gets extremely complicated the bigger the ships gets especially when it gets to the size of a super carrier. Right now the flight deck is considered part of the main structural element of the carrier that is almost on the same scale of importance as the ship's keel. Without the flight deck, the ship would twist excessively. Ships longer than around 800 feet need fairly deep girders to maintain their ridgity in the seaway. Though I can see modular designs in destroyers or cruisers. (Actually the whole distinction between destroyers and cruisers is muddled).

Well carriers will always be refitting for the newest piece of technology and aircraft. That's part of why the Navy spends billions of dollars on refitting them. Such as the Ike just completed a four year refit cycle that cost the Navy I believe so don't quote me around 2 to 3 billions dollars. But that was also due to having to getting it's first 'refill' for the reactors. Hell back in the 1970's all of the super carriers had to be refitted before they could use the F-14. That was much more involved then lets say reftting for the F/A-18. The Tomcat's exhaust was far more powerful than the F-4's so it would blow down/ or burn up the Jet Blast Deflectors right behind the catapults. Hell, the F-14B and D was not allowed to go into full afterburner (and is the only plane that can do this without afterburner) while on the catapult for a few reasons. One, the F-14 on full afterburner will outrun the catapult which might cause the catapult to finally catch up with the F-14 and rip off the nose landing gear. Two, the afterburner will melt the Jet Blast Deflector and push it down. Three, there was no need to go on full afterburner because that is the quickest way short of putting holes in the fuel cells of burning up fuel very rapidly. In all actuality, there is not alot of improvements mechanically that would think there would be for a 30 year old design like the F/A-18A and the F/A-18E. It's mainly computers nowadays that make the big leaps. But even then most of the time it's either software that can be loaded on the plane or swapped out like a box. Sort of like upgrading your RAM on the computer. The new Ford class, USS George Bush and USS Ronald Reagan are all designed with the above in mind with much extra space designed and allotted for computer upgrades and future integration that no one has thought of yet. Though one thing is for sure is that carriers are very useful in what they are, mobile airfields. Back in the late 40's the US was going to build the UNited States which would have been the world's first super carrier although it would have been a flush deck design (no island). However the newly formed Air Force thought that future wars would be fought with nuclear weapons and that bombers would do a better job. During the 1960's and 1970's the Navy was looking into what they called the CVV program which was basically a carrier around the same size (tonnage and dimensions) as the USS Midway. That was dropped in favor for more super carriers because they found out that building a smaller carrier would not proportionally save money as it should, in fact per ton it was cheaper to build bigger carriers. Then during the DVX program which became the Ford class, the Navy went from basically an updated CVV design to an updated Nimitz class design to a double angle design (a second angled lfight deck opposite of the island which would make the island in the middle of the ship), which the design would have been far larger, being around 1,200 feet and weighing as much as 150,000 tons. The problem with planes is that you cannot design a jack of all trades plane that excells at everything. The F/A-18 is supposed to be this but it is a master of none. Look at the flight deck of the 80's with a whole bunch of aircraft types. Many believe this is height of the power of the Navy where all specialized planes do their own thing and actually excel at it. The biggest problem was parts. There was no commonality with that many different planes. Which is why within five to six years the carriers will have five squadrons of Hornets, (2 F/A-18A or C, 1 F/A-18E, 1 F/A-18F and 1 F/A-18G). That means five squadrons can share the same parts and the carrier itself can devote less space to individual parts for different planes whereas now they can devote space to the same exact thing such as OBOGS concentrators, engines, the ever malfunctioning APU, and various avionics. Hell in my own rate, it makes it easier in that I can now go on to five different squadrons without being briefed on what type of eejection seat it uses. Though personally, I don't need to be briefed since the Prowlers use GRU-7 type of ejection seats and the F-14B used them.

Yes and no. The Tomcat can fly with a partial wing missing. The Tomcat's entire body is shaped like a wing and in combination of rather powerful engines, it can fly back to the carrier or base. When the Hornet was designed the Navy didn't want the B or D because it was afraid the B and D would be viewed as a replacement for the Tomcat which was still new at the time. While I agree many of the flaws in the Super Hornet will be eventually addressed, some of it can't. In fact today we found several cracks around the intake. This is a big deal, since pieces of the intake can break off and go right into the intake and FOD out the engine.
