The Juggernaut | |
| Eliminators / int_1eed8e76 | comment |
The Juggernaut: Mandroid!Reeves, using a perfected frame, is completely unstoppable and pulls a Curb-Stomp Battle by his lonesome on the team. They are only saved by Bond Villain Stupidity (leaving them alone so he can start his time jump), and not checking whether the Mandroid (the only member outside the forcefield) is completely dead. | |

I Cannot Self-Terminate | |
| Eliminators / int_b731fa6e | comment |
I Cannot Self-Terminate: The Mandroid explains to Hunter early in the third act that he loathes what he has been turned into and would like to kill himself but his self-preservation programming prevents him from doing that, so he asks Hunter to kill him. Hunter talks him out of it, but he, in a way, accomplishes what he wanted in the last minutes of the film. | |
