#366 - Trip

I had a couple different robot toys that had a fist launching ability. It never seemed very practical to me. You have to make sure to only use that feature as a last resort. If you miss then you can’t go back and pick up your really really big sword or your super giant laser gun.

Thanks for all the shirt orders that have come in! I’ll leave the preorders for that open until this coming Sunday. :)

    yeah dude
    the hand missle was always impractical
    unless they’re connected by chains
    ….then u have hand chucks!!!

  2. Vargan Shnargal

    Wow, is there anything Biff can’t do? Oh yeah, tie his shoes…

  3. LazerWulf

    The worst thing is when one of the hand missiles goes missing, and he gets the nickname “Stumpy”.

  4. Bunnyman

    I never found much of a use for fist missiles. I mean, what if the fist misses its target and smashes into a skyscraper? The fist would not only crush countless people, but knock the building over and smash everything in its downward path. Why do people never think of these things when they’re building the robot in the first pla… Wait, Biff has hand missiles?

  5. SEA

    lol, what could biff possible do with his hand missile…on second thought, never mind.

  6. Heinrich

    dude… i bet someone could make a pretty awesome video game w/ biff as a playable character.

  7. Micah

    Man, I hate when that happens.

  8. Gobbledegook

    Whenever me and my brothers used to play with our G1 transformers (if you remember almost all of them had removable hands), We used those instead of the guns. We’d yell “Fist missile!” and throw the hand at whichever toy the other one was playing with. If it hit, it counted as a kill and you couldn’t use that TF until we started over.

  9. MaskedMan

    My brother borrowed my fist missile. Now I can’t type.

  10. Paul

    Always tie your shoes first, Biff!

  11. Joe

    Anyone remember the Voltron Fist missle….it would launch the heads of the Green and Red Lion.

  12. Bullet Fiend

    Nice! Biff should get the boomerang-effect upgrade.

  13. MoosePhysh

    I’ve always preferred laser heat vision myself.

  14. Seraphine

    So that explains why
    Biff doesn’t have a
    knotted forehead…

  15. evirus

    its worse when they get lost.

  16. Buzzardo

    It shouldn’t seem all that alarming
    But old Biff is quite the Prince Charming
    He’s at your command
    And will give you a hand,
    That’s when he’s at his most disarming

  17. Garrett

    Now I’m wondering who/what he had to defend himself against?

  18. Chivalrybean

    It’d be useful to hand something to someone who was far away.

  19. pieman

    thank god my hand missiles regenerate. but when i’m scratching my nose and it goes off… ouch.

  20. dragonbrad

    that happens to me many times a day, but the worst is when youshoot out two hands while riding your bike

  21. Pablo

    Man, i love this comic, always brilliant Chris…
    I always wondered why the heck would someone lauch their body parts as weapons, ever heard of pistols and such?
    You’d go better by flinging flaming poop at them =P

  22. Dreamlight

    Biff shot off his left hand first–does this mean that he’s left-handed?

  23. dragonbrad

    dreamlight, you obviusly shoot the hand your not good with first, duh.

    But as i said, i have many accidents with mine, i shoot my hands at the same time.

  24. Radical Edward

    Well, another dumb mistake.

    I’ve made a few syntax-related mistakes. We all do. I once rooted a doll head backwards.

  25. Colin

    …Megaman reference?
    at least HE gets his back via reverse propulsion.
    just be careful not to miss it when it comes back.
    Thump!

  26. Colin

    oh and as for pablo, it wouldnt be fast enough, and you’d have to get the right…consistency….
    no one would want to keep that much handy
    ….sniff…sniff….
    x_x

  27. chrome

    biff has a gopher problem in his backyard

  28. emthegreat

    dude! I wish I had hand missiles! I have soooper long fingers, so I’d probably poke someone’s eye out.

  29. Noodles

    ’tisn’t the best of ideas

    plus he’s missing half a leg.. I wonder if that shot off in the opposite direction…

  30. random man

    its better than a eye misslie

  31. jykcor

    I had a real cheap megazord back in the day based on the movie w/ ivan ooze, and its “hand missiles” just had a 2mm plastic stick on it that BARELY moved it out at all.
