Its so nice to see that our MIM project has geinad so much pace. I am so happy with how it turned out. I want to do a third one but, we do need to focus on our MP2D project too.Hey, if you like MIM, then you might like it's audio counterpart, Symphony of Samus

[url=#user_comment_168923]@yoga[/url]: Magic, got it.

Am I the only one that noticed Samus's arm cannon is orange in the post ball running?

[url=#user_comment_168923]@yoga[/url] Tell that to the space pirates. Those poor, poor pretzel space pirates...

Pay attention to metroid prime/echoes. If you look at the morph ball, you see that you can look straight through the energy field and into the ground on the other side of the dividing line. This insinuates that Samus is not being contorted, but rather is converted into an energy-state.

@ DirtyMindedGuy... I like your style! XD

b-b-b-bone
bad to the bone

[url=#user_comment_168383]@Draco[/url]: those are more for vital "things will go boom or suffocate if they arnt there" ventilation shafts. and only 4 people pirates died in morph ball tests.

Best part of Space Pirate research: cheaper to kill off hundreds of Pirates to replicate the Morph Ball than to remove all the damn tunnels.

Remember those pirate logs on Metroid Prime detailing Pirate attempts to mimick this Morph Ball ability of Samus's?

Horrific.

You know the real reasion it works is because Samus turns into engery or something like that.

I thought you were going to do a DKR reference....
Doctor: Even with all your acrobatics and rolling, Samus, I've seen worse cartilage in bones.
Samus: That's good!
Doctor: No, that's bad because there is no cartilage.

Oh, right, he'll only comment on comics with the Engies?

so you know, isnt like she just..compresses. the suit kinda turns her body into energy as she becomes a morph ball. really obvious in the prime series.

I just love flexible women. I can imagine Samus can do a lot of "positions" ;)

[url=#user_comment_168161]@RoderickBR[/url] That same wiki states at the end of the very first paragraph that the morph ball is slightly less then 1 meter in diameter.

So let's see we've got: mass to energy, matter displacement, freakin awesome contourtionism,and the comic's take: bones powdered in 45 places. only one that fits for the rest of it is the enrgy conversion as that would provide the spring ball's jumping power and how she can carry 5 bombs on a charge

power of nova forceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Where are "TheEverything,man" comments?

As for the size debade: http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Morph_Ball scroll down and you'll find a gif showing her going into morphball mode. Looks about 1 foot, maybe 2.

[url=#user_comment_167889]@Tim[/url]: i remember reading that log in metroid prime, not sure if its in any of the others though

You know, according to some manuals, she turns into energy and it is stored in her suit when it turns into morphball mode. In other worlds, it turns into a giant pokeball.

Fuck skeletons, the next best thing after blow-up dolls?

[url=#user_comment_168000]@Dragon[/url]: Hey! I can fit absurd amounts of stuff on this pocket! *get inside the pocket* Problem solved!

[url=#user_comment_167954]@Ivresse[/url]: In Metroid Prime, the morph ball is almost four feet in diameter, or at least a bit taller than her waist. Though, I suppose your images are more accurate coming from an older title.

@Nice try: I would be surprised if a strip's description had perfect grammar and no typos.

It should be "fucking skeletons how do they work" gratz on screwing up a pretty popular meme's grammar

I was going to say from the way it looks in Metroid Prime, it converts her into energy and the curling up is merely the suit's 'trigger' to do so, but Cube beat me to it.

But, yes, as was also pointed out, anyone ELSE trying to do this will merely result in horribly broken bones; uhm, everything!

She can probably get her head between her legs. It explains why she never needed a man before Other M. :V

Well idd guess it works the same way she can store 255 missiles in her suit.

My personal guess is some kind of dimensional pocket, think something like that was mentioned in one of the mangas.

@Adrian Sayori: I love how everyone always takes his opportunity to show off his inner nerd as soon as you get to his/her special piece of fiction. It's a joke, goddamnit.
Also just because the joke was already made doesn't take the artists right to have his own take at it.

[url=#user_comment_167974]@lobster[/url], evidently you forgot about other M...

@That Medic With The Unusual: She's like a sexy, sexy octopus.

But the one thing that isn't broken... is her heart. <3

@Awesomeknight:

http://snipurl.com/24t33aq - Samus standing
http://snipurl.com/24t35tj - Morph ball

Now if you're seriously telling me that the morph ball is as tall as Samus with only a foot in difference, you've got perception problems.

Many people beat me to the joke in Metroid Prime. Only Samus can do this without breaking limbs :D

@Awesomeknight I've played Metroid games and the morph ball was usually used to get through into places that Samus couldn't fit through and not by a "foot or so".

Foldable Heroes, 'nuff said.

Uh... Samus' Morph Ball is about as tall as she is standing, give or take a foot or so. Play just about any of the games, and you'd know that.

When something strange happens it's either unknown tech or magic.

I love how no one ever seems to read the official description of how the morph ball works. While still scientifically illogical, there would be no broken bones.

Clearly, she lost Metal Beam when she morphballed.
Along with Space Jump, Screw Attack, Bombs, Missles, and basically every other powerup.

Dat gun, its changing its color.

You can't explain THAT!

Thats Chozo technology son, we ain't gotta explain shit.

[url=#user_comment_167894]@ЯЯЯUH[/url]: On the day I was born* The nurses all gathered 'round...

I always thought it was some diminsional space pocket or something like that.

In Metroid Prime, it looks like it turns her into energy.

So it sounds quite similar to Pokéballs.

Ever since the day I was born...

http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Pirate_Data#Hunter_Weapons

"All attempts at duplicating it have ended in disaster; four test subjects were horribly broken and twisted when they engaged our Morph Ball prototypes." :P

Metroid Prime's pirate logs beat you to this joke already.

Those poor science team test subjects... ouch.

How clever to take an old joke from the first Metroid games and make yet another "original" comic. What's next, Mario high on mushrooms?

She's just made of pure Baddass and Sexy, there's no bones in that body of hers...

what if the suit first expanded, allowing Samus to opportunity to tuck her arms and legs in, and then contracted into the ball form?

Magnets.

I wonder how she rolls so effectively while in that mode.
