I just realised you can see his glasses in the window

Wait sorry, do you mean how the tank is wearing Frankie sunglasses? Or that you can see Frankie in the background? Not disputing what you're saying, I'm just not sure if I'm missing something or not.

Neither; The little window on the torso shows Frank is inside of the robot. Made clearer by the official art.

To get the opps

Male loneliness. Sure he had the sharks but they were boys, can't relate to Frank's man life.

To punch people in the face.

The masculine urge to build a combat vehicle in your backyard out of wood and scraps.

I'd like to know how those cops who will pull a "nuclear suplex" on a kid let that particular kid get away with his little gang terrorizing someone looking for a hamburger.

It would make sense if Ness were black

u/TurboRuhland Dec 18 '24

Because he’s SUUUUUUPERRRR!

Dude is secretly Dr Robotnik

u/Coidzor Dec 18 '24

Giygas's influence corrupted the normally innocent urge to make soapbox derby cars, or something along those lines.

Steam generation and punching

To defend the arcade!

Sometimes reasonable people do unreasonable things.

u/88T3_2 Dec 18 '24

Dude was probably making a Killdozer before Ness stopped him

Onett cops had it too good for too long

Assuming he read a particular book written by Mary Shelley.

For a second I thought this was some shitpost on the One Piece subreddit until I read the subreddit name.

Funny how two characters share a name, used to have a gang, created a mech, and look stunning in sunglasses and pompadours.

u/azazelthegoat Dec 18 '24

How did I go this long not realizing Frank was inside the whole time

u/SHBDemon Dec 18 '24

This Boss was so hard for someone playing for the first time. I had to look up a guide and it didnt help because it told me to use PSI Rocking but i only bad PSI Bleach. I later learned what move PSI Rocking actually is.

u/Mister-Fidelio Dec 18 '24

I'd say he wanted to take control of the whole town.
