UNDT Round 1 - Beasts and Animals (Villains)

[Colin YNWA]

Well I said these votes were in no particular order BUT I have to be honest I've saved what I think is my favourite until last. Go wild for the those forces of nature that crush, chomp and devour puny humans. Which of these magnificent monsters are your favourites?

Pop the names of the two characters you'd like to progress into Round 2 in a reply to this thread and I'll count up early Thursday 6th August.

Old One Eye (Flesh) - https://britishcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Old_One_Eye
Tiger Commander (Meltdown Man) -  https://britishcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger_Commander
Shako (Shako, Armoured Gideon, Kingdom, Hookjaw, Judge Dredd...) -  https://britishcomics.fandom.com/wiki/Shako
The Herod (Devlin Waugh) -  https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7lkRL4qoYlg/WBrZNeBc0VI/AAAAAAAABd0/aKmwlLMCXZkEc2DnCuPZQOYwxqLsYmLeQCLcB/s1600/dwch_herod%2Band%2Bcutup.jpg*

*I normally avoid using images when I can't find a linkie BUT this piece of majesty from The Might Yeowell and John Smith gives you all you need so perfectly.

What is all this nonsense? Well the 'rules' (ahem) for Round 1 are here:

Old One Eye & Shako

There's only one of these creatures that's really much of a character, and that's Tiger Commander, so he deserves a vote. Discounting the Herod - not really a character, just a force - it's also time to bring Shako's weird renaissance to an end, and Old One Eye's the best hag tyrannosaur for the job. Hope she doesn't choke on his hairy overused carcass.

I'm with Greg M block (so Tiger Commander and Old One Eye from me as well).

Shako and... oh this is hard. Old One Eye or the Tiger Commander? Erm erm erm... Old One Eye. For the sheer seminal brilliance of early Flesh.

So here we are the final votes of Round One are almost over. You have until first thing in the morning to decide this one.

VOTING CLOSED - Though we still appreciate more howling and roaring from you beasts.

Well this one was fascinating as two early leaders lead the pack by a mile, the other two left behind. The Herod indeed remained largely dormant waiting more to summon his power...but.... one contender showed their animal cunning and was ploting an ambush. Our clear winner felt no threat from such food and continued to tear ahead her kitten sized brain focused on only one goal Round 2 and

Old One Eye

was not to be denied.

However Tiger Commander showed his military training combined with his animal cunning and was locked in combat with the ubiquitous bear Shako and on the last vote it was a tie.And so it falls to me to annouce.

Tiger Commander

Is into the second round. Why. Well I adore the bear, his story is one of astonshing brutality BUT is he much of a character AND (yes Old One Eye is, don't argue with me!) he's a simple death machine AND on this one I allowed myself to consider another factor I haven't in these votes to date Tiger Commander is such a cool design. Now don't get me wrong the giant Polar Bear looks good, but Tiger Commander has been designed to look superb.
