Talk:Plasma energy

Should this article really be separate from Plasma Energy Chamber? I would think a single article covering all occurances of Plasma Energy might be called for. --KilMichaelMcC 17:26, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. Redirect to a sub-section. The PEC has some historical signifigance aside from plasma energy, as the foundry where the original TF bodies were forged... but it's not so seperate that they should be seperated. -Derik 17:43, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

*blink* Wow, I totally didn't even think of the Plasma Energy Chamber when I was writing it. Hmn, given that that that was Rebirth and this is HM, d'you think that it's use was just a coincidence, or was the idea derived from the PEC, even though the Japanese never used it in fiction? - Chris McFeely 18:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

I assume so- I want to say there's some general indication in HM that Japan had some plot and character outlines generated by US writers (though I'll be damned if I can think what they are at the moment.) Warped reflection of the US incarnation.

And if Plasma Energy can blow up the sun, it can surely blow up Mars. -Derik 18:10, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, the mechanics are a bit different. Rebirth-plasma-energy does that because it attacks and overloads mechanisms which convert matter into energy (making the fact that it is harmless to organic life nonsense), while HM-plasma-energy is just explosive and has to be detonated, as with Mars. Tryin' to figure out what the best way to combine the entries would be... - Chris McFeely 18:13, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Describe the American version first, then describe the Japanese version in its own sub-section, just liek we treat the multiple interpretations of, say, Blaster.

The english version diminates because 1) English 2) More Prominent (being heavily featured in BM as well as Rebirth.) -Derik 19:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, naturally. Shall we just call the article "Plasma energy," then? - Chris McFeely 20:02, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Okay, how does this look? - Chris McFeely 20:20, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Organic immunity

Do organics such as ourselves actually convert matter to energy? I was under the impression that that was a purely nuclear force; all we do is break molecular bonds and use the energy from that, which is a chemical reaction. I am pretty sure that the mass of what goes into us stays the same, it just changes form. A quick check on Wikipedia seems to confirm this. If we did perform an actual matter to energy conversion, the energy generated would be absolutely huge. I'll be editing that bit out, but if anyone disagrees with my conclusion, feel free to add it back in, I guess. ~ 68.36.101.128 01:34, 3 April 2009 (EDT)
