  • Tripods
rdfs:comment
  • TriPods are Martian semi-mechanic beings resembling huge saucers atop three legs with an underside for hostages. Their first transformation is as a giant iPod mobile phone that plays Karma Chameleon by Boy George before hitting "destroy" and going into attack mode. They have got a powerful laser cannon that destroys organic material (leaving behind clothes and jewelry), tentacles for grabbing and abducting hostages and three long legs with claws for maneuverability. They are used to invade planets. The major triPod is piloted by Billy the doll; he possibly controls the other via remote control. They only appeared in Scary Movie 4.
  • Tripods from H.G. Wells' 1897 novel The War of the Worlds (and its adaptions) are giant, bio-mechanic war machines programmed to exterminate the human race and cause astronomical destruction to Earth. Though there are several different incarnations of the infamous tripods, all stories follow the same story. The tripods arrive on Earth, cause destruction, are almost undefeated by the military, and are eventually killed by Earth's viruses.
