The Glorious Steely Absolute does have some certain charachteristics, which can be descriped as playfull and maybe also grim. It likes to fool and humiliate its enemies since being all-powerful can sometimes be rather boring.


Edit. Brother in Slavek was already in the crux.

Even sentient beings grow tired of their possession of absolute power so once in a while, they like to make the smallest possible tasks last as long as possible, in this case, likes to toy with its prey.

The IS2 never actually fired its main gun in WW2, since one shot would destroy the whole universe. It only every fired 2 of its MG rounds and those were the atomic bombs, the IS2 mostly used single pistol shots from the ports to take out individual enemy tractors.

The IS2 mostly levitated above the ground, and only made contact with the dirt when it wanted to destroy a whole enemy division from an earthquake, if the IS2 sat in one spot to long, it would fall through to the other side of the earth.

Guys, guys, guys, these are obviously attempts to fool you into doubt. He posts pictures of the IS-2 playing with it's food, and then intrjects his own opinion, acting as if we were the ones with heretical, idiotic ideas.

Of course, the greater punishment would be to leave him in ignorance, and be forever in horror as his "mighty" tractor gets stuck in the mud whenever you start the engine (which proves it hardly even functions as a tractor, either!)

Charlie Sheen's Tiger blood is no match for the IS2.

The only reason it takes so long to load is because it never has to reload.

The only reason its turret traverse speed is average is because if it went to fast it would through the Earth off its axis.

Yes but the IS2 must keep up appearances that it is merely another tractor on the battlefield!
