USA Tomatohawk Artillery

Another new take of the Tomahawk Missile Launcher, the Tomatohawk fires a cruise missile tipped with a massive genetically engineered tomato:



This idea has been floating around for a long time, so I finally decided to make it a reality. Expect a red juicy explosion when these tomatohawk missiles detonate. Should it go to the Airforce General or the Superweapons General? It does't fit the Laser General, and VUSA needs to keep its normal Tomahawk.

Maybe you could use these to make the world's largest pizza? Use Pancake Crusaders to flatten the dough, cover it with sauce using a barrage of Tomatohawk missiles, use Buzzsaw Paladins to slice the pepperoni and cheese, scatter the toppings with Fan Trucks, then cook it to perfection with Microwave Tanks. Just a thought.

LOL that thing is genius!
i think its pretty much SW-gen weaponclass, isnt it?

[CJ]

Yihaa ! Another update !
A little question : Will the Tomatohawk also leave a kind of red toxin after exploding ?
Anyways, this idea rules, but you should get rid of the thingey that is at the end of the tomato (I don't know how it's called in English )

EDIT : I find it would be better to give it to Alexander

I assume the stick at the end is a stalk - it makes the thing look a bit like an apple. But this is an awesome idea!

[CJ]

Yeah it's the stalk that I was talking about (and for the same reason as you), thanks mate =)

[Pav:3d]

Brilliant, cant wait to see the FX in-game
Hope u got a good SPLAT sound

[Jordan]

I shortened the stalk a bit and widened the base, and it looks a bit better now. The orignal one was definitely too long.

[TheDR]

[MR.Kim]

Launching:



Detonation - Releases a medium sized tomato field which does damage to any units in the area:



Anyone know where I could find a good sound for when the missile explodes? Some sort of a squish sound would work well.

Tomatohawk is epic win!

For me looks more like an apple than a tomato. xD
But i like it. Very good!! I think Superweapons general would fit better.

[G-sus]

after all, tomatos are very powerful!

Well, almost blew out my speakers with that one. It's a bit too short though.

[pirate]

Great ;D however I would suggest adding leaves on top, as it now looks like an apple rather than a tomato



sorry for being picky, just my thoughts

[G-sus]

its just a small detail, but i do agree.
of course, its still awesome as it is now...

[BeefJeRKy]

What pirate suggested would complete it.The red goo should shut down units temporarily as they "savor the flavor".

[Su8perkillr]

cool a update. though, Jordan, u promised us version 0.6 before end of april. so, do you think u can make it?

[n5p29]

Yeah, it's like an apple rather than a tomato.
I have an idea, why use a tomahawk missile topped with a tomato? How about replacing the whole missile with a bottle of ketchup?

look on the attachment, ignore the tomato fruit.

That would fit better

Well the "tomatohawk" is a nickname the tomahawk acquired here at E-Studios (Before FS that is) and as such this is a play on its name. The ketchup bottle would make it lame IMO.

[Gen.Kenobi]

I know, but the "tomato" looks an apple xD =P
