It's the same with Knights

Well the common theme is age and wear

Older, more "well-used" Knights and Titans tend to be far more... independant.

For the former, they collect enough neural echoes to make their own personality, and the latter go from formless primordial AI rage to a coalesced fully aware AI rage

It's funny, Titans go from "REEEEEEEEE ANGEREY" to "I AM UNREASONABLY FUCKASS ANGEREY AT THESE SPECIFIC THINGS"

Yeah and Knights basically just go "Fuck (insert non-imperial faction) in particular for this very specific reason that happened (insert number of centuries/millennium) long ago."

Holy shit

I just realized

Princeps are just tard wrangling their Titans

Knights it's more of a rider/horse thing

But Titans are that big nigga tard with the extra tard-roids

Like you gotta ride a boundary or else they'll just yeet your brain across the room and go fucking apeshit

Nah they're not niggers or tards, they're like basically fully grown adults with literally no sense of how to adult so they just ree at everything that looks at them angrily since they haven't been taught how to deal with all the information about the world

Yeah pretty much

Old senile Titans are the worst, not because they're bad, but because they'll just up and *do things on their own*

yeah and some Magos Tech-Axilum or Enginseer will come along and ask it what it's doing and why it did it and it's response is just "coz I saw that I should/could."

Fuck, sometimes it's just "because fuck you"

Yup

Like I remember there was one Titan that got fuck ass mad at the Princeps, ignored inputs, and did what it wanted to do anyway.

And then the Magos has to relay that to whoever is in command and try to explain that there's literally nothing that anyone can do about it

What are you gonna do, scold the physical manifestation of the Omnissiah's wrath?

I'd pay to see someone try

You know it always baffles me that nobody ever really mentions or like draws the size of the ships they have to use to transport members of the Legio Titanicus and their Titans.

Oh yeah, those fuckin carriers must be HUGE

Because IIRC they're not just carriers, they're an SSTO-Lander combo AND repair bay AND garage

You could say their size is quite *titanic*

You need to commit shotgun succ right now

lmao

My puns are sanctioned by the Fabricator-General himself

There's nothing you can do

THIS IS WHY STYGIES VIII SHOULD BE IN CONTROL OF MARS DAMN IT

Man Stygies couldn't even control 2 out of their 3 Legio Titanica. They had to ask Mommy Mars for some new ones

To be fair

It's also Stygies VIII

Yeah

Who the fuck knows what they did to the Titans

The problem with Xenarites is they don't know when to not fix what ain't broke

Yeah but how can you know if it's broken if you don't know the last time you fixed it?

Valid.

Although I suppose the standard measure of "it aint broke" is if it rolls off the line and doesn't immediately begin killing everything.

*glares at plasma weapons*
