Talk:Proton axe

Name
Maybe just me, but this looks a lot like the glass axe from Morrowind.


 * I fail to see when and where this weapon is called the "Sonic Baton". There's nothing remotely Sonic about it, nor is it a Baton.

Haha not bad for the TES3 reference, despite the glass axe in Morrowind have three spikes and a more little size (and the green color instead of blue). For the name, Chris Avellone say only "sonic" in the Qore video about new weapons and not energy, electric or something, so it's better to keep this name before we have the official real name of the weapon (and for all Old World Blues' weapons). Ho also, please sign your post next time ;), I had trouble seeing that there were two different person if I did not watch history. Itachou [~talk~] 15:02, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

But the name is very misleading. The only weapon Chris calls "Sonic" is the "Sonic Emitter" Pistol. Nothing else. If anything, that big "Tesla-Stick" would be a Sonic Baton, as "baton" implies a blunt weapon, and an Axe is not blunt in any way.

Also, I don't know how to sign, so I'll just do this for now: -Tluav Boy

 * It does look like a Morrowind glass axe. I'd be inclined to call it a laser axe if it were me but we'll wait and see what it's called. As far as it not being a blunt weapon, they are classified as such in TES IV (I think in TES III axes have their own category but I could be mistaken). While an axe does have a sharp blade, it's not used primarily to slice but rather as a sharp mace, to break the skin more easily while dealing a crushing-type injury and to reduce the surface area of the blow so as to more easily break bones. -- 15:44, June 4, 2011 (

Since sonic means sound I'm thinking that this weapon probably emits some sort of shockwave when you hit things with it and the blue edge is just a sensor. Anybody else think that this will have the same little white-singularity-thingie that both the gauss rifle and displacer glove have? Lonely astronomer 21:54, June 28, 2011 (UTC)Lonely Astronomer

If this weapon is actually called the Proton Axe, then it seems to be a clear reference to the weapon of the same name from Wasteland. Not a huge surprise, since a few of the other things from Old World Blues seem to be inspired by Wasteland as well. SagaDC 15:25, July 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I saw this thing I immediately thought it looked like something out of brotherhood of steel . . .. I dont know what though how odd ralok 18:59, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

How do we know this thing actually does bonus damage on robots/power armor and if it does why doesn't the article say how much?
