[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6167146, member: 19675"] Even keeping it basic, a single foot or knee joint is still going to have to support several times the total mass of the creature so that it doesn't collapse when running or jumping. And as for the eyes...remember, just like the rest of the creature, they seem impervious to damage from hypervelocity shrapnel and explosions, terminal velocity falls into buildings with tons of force behind them, etc. That's all beyond the kind of force conventional weapons deliver. Consider some RW terrorist attacks: the 9/11 planes were completely destroyed on impact and it took a long time to fell the towers. According to some estimates I have seen, each plane had the [I]potential[/I] explosive force of up to 600 tons of TNT. McVeigh's bomb was equivalent to about 1000 tons of TNT. By way of comparison, a kaiju can do a face-plant into a skyscraper, bringing it down immediately and dust itself off as if it were the first punch in a bar brawl. [/QUOTE]
