>>98550116>They'd probably need to burn through a mountain or two to hit Republic City I am genuinely confused as to why you would ever feel the need to say something so monumentally stupid. I mean, holy shit, man. Just... okay, first off, Republic City has trolleys so there's no goddamn way they don't have external rail access. The doomtrain could roll right up to the front gates. Second, even if for some confounding, mystifying reason RC DIDN'T have rail access, Kuvira has an army of metalbenders so like another anon said she could literally build her own railroad as she needs it.
Point being, there will literally never be a point where Kuvira could not maneuver the doomtrain into firing range.
>d it'd probably miss whatever specific target they're aiming for anyways, because it's not like they have targeting technology.Woooooooow. Wow. So basically you're saying that they have the tech to build skyscraper-sized, physics-murdering mechs but still haven't discovered binoculars or a fucking spotter?
>but they want the city (mostly) intact.That's why you fire your giant purple death beam over the bow, genius. It's called a threat. You know, "surrender or the next one will be aimed at your face."
>howSee
>>98550082 for a good portion of that. A large force protecting a smaller area will always, always, always be more effective than that same force trying to protect something huge. Instead of using that platinum to coat a robot in plot armor, you coat the train instead.
>They'd dismantle the rail, or make it too dangerous to use.Again, army of metal benders. Anything the enemy does to destroy the tracks, you can repair just as easily.
>bury it under a mountainYeah, hey, great idea. Let's just try to bury the thing surrounded by a army of earthbenders under a mountain. I'm sure that'll go off without a hitch.
>lavabendBolin can barely tell his own ass from a hole in the ground, he's not fucking lavabending his way through an entire fucking army.
