 Since its hinted kinda that there may be an Elcor squaddie in ME3 Ben Stein should be his VA

[Godzilla vs Xenu]

I can't hear Ben Stein's voice anymore without also hearing all the dumb things he's said in interviews related to politics, and thinking of his dreadful "movie."

[Dazzav2]

Hinted where?

*In monotone*

"I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum....and I'm all out of gum."

"Here I am....Rock you like a hurricane..."

"Silly enemies. You cannot withstand the force of my foot crushing your head which amuses me so."



Awesome.

[Sir Ulrich Von Lichenstien]

Noo... Daan from yesterdays chat with Jesse Houston should do the VA for an Elcor Squaddie, he does a really good impression of one, had most of us loling everytime he did it.

[xIxDarkWolfxIx]

If we did have an Elcor Squad member. I would want him to have a huge laser or a Mass Accerlerator Cannon on his back. That would be sweet! XD

[logiccosmic]

I'd rather have Blasto.

God that movie was hypocritical.

[Arcite550]

Hahaha Daan, that guy had issues..... but I do wonder what female Elcors look like

[FAZZ Gundam]

Plainly, how would the elcor be useful in a fight apart from as a slow moving meat shield? /monotone off

Walking weapons platform. They are strong enough to carry and fire ultra heavy weapons, they mount them right on their backs.

Didn't you ever read your codex?

[Homebound]

As fun as it would be to mount a tank, a submarine, a fighter-plane, AND Ben Stein on an Elcor Squadmate's insanely strong, high-gravity resistant back, Im a little concerned about how fast they will be able to move around.

They still move very slowly and are large targets for enemies to concentrate on. I'd prefer not to wait ten minutes for an elcor to slowly lumber into position

They could only be good for providing cover where you don't have one, and serve as tanks...

[lokiarchetype]

You should totally be able to ride on an elcor if you get one as a squadmate. Climb right on up and man the turret on their back.

"I shall call you Mobile Firing Platform"

"Distraught, but my name is Dave"

"Silence! Tanks don't talk"



Do we actually know how fast they move? Bears, Gorillas, Hippos, Elephants... they all look awkward and heavy, but they could totally outrun you.

[ahather]

its true... loads of people get killed by getting trampled by hippos

I believe the Elcor Ambassador said something about them preferring/being evolved to move slowly, due to the high gravity on their world. Methinks he said that if they were to trip and fall, it could be fatal.

If you move at a slothlike speed on a planet were you weigh so much that that tripping would kill you... how fast do you think you could move on a planet like Earth if you really wanted to?

Imagine going from 2000 lbs to 200 lbs

its true... loads of people get killed by getting trampled by hippos

Hippos actually kill more humans each year than any other animal.

Hippos weigh up to 8000 pounds and can gallop at 18 m.p.h.--a lot faster than you. ~ The Straight Dope

I guess that means getting charged by one would be like getting hit by a truck on a residential street.

Which would be in their world.



On a planet with normal gravity I think the Elcor would probably run faster then us



Debetable ofcourse. But it makes sense. If you have lived with a mountain on your back for as long as you know and your body is used to it - what happens if you remove the said mountain. I think you'd be much more agile.



I think the reason they don't move as much on ME1 is because they are not used to. If the entire species has never actually moved faster then slow walking, then it must be rather difficult to learn how to run.

Just saying that this shouldn't be a problem in the long run...

Wow sir, you just had a brilliant Idea. Ben Stein would be perfect for an Elcor role.

[ThisIsMadness91]

I don't know how efficient an elcor would be in battle, but I would gladly accept one on the Normandy as a scientist or secretary.

[kelmar6821]

this reminds me of that serial killer elcor diplomat.
was that part of garus's convos?

The Elcor and the Volus really need to be a bigger part of the universe.



And as for "How would they be useful?" Think of a gorilla - that can use guns. Yeah, it's kinda like that.

[Esbatty]

I soooooooooo want a ME3 Elcor NPC on the Normandy. I love them so.

[Merwind]

i want the hanar who almost choked out zaeed to be a squadmate
