They can power AT-launcher ( what is also curious on it's own, the amplifier on one of the Choppers should power everything in it's area of effect by itself so the launcher shouldn't really need pendant to work ) but as stated, to run car or helicopter you need amplifier. while they're US things and not Chinese or Korea ones, they could easily self-destruct ( corroding fuel? ) or became useless chunks of metal due to humidity etc.Īs for the #1st idea: I believe the pendants wouldn't work on ICBMs they are simply 'too large'. It's also worth noting that especially ICBMs would not really remain operational after some time without attending to them. stretched as it is to cover 'gas powered generators' it leads exactly back to question how the X-years old stuff magically works like it would be carefully shut down just yesterday. I guess if the nanites could consume infinite output of energy at pretty much once to create blackout, they could somehow 'kick-start' things they shut down when ceasing to work. Petrol can become useless, due to air, even after few months not to mention after years when even rust would become major concern.
ATLAUNCHER REVOLUTION GENERATOR
Many of the things we've seen them do make no sense given how they were explained (my favorite example: how did turning off the nanites automatically start up a gas powered generator without any initial energy input?) So there's no real way to know what the nanites are capable of, and thus why Randall felt the need to shut them off before he did anything.įor my biggest issue is how the all stuff got back to working at all, given there was 15? ( sorry, don't remember exactly now) years of complete breakdown. Regarding option #1, let me just express my dismay at how haphazardly the whole explanation of the nanites has been handled. Lastly, he may just be psychotic and enjoyed getting everyone's hopes up before he went. This way, the "real US" now has their power back on and can use it to swoop in and conquer the nations that Randall just destroyed. Third, it may have all been part of the plan to get the power back on before launching all-out war against the various nations. Second, its possible that the USB controllers are too rare and he didn't want to waste them without knowing they would work, or possibly he didn't even have enough of them to fit onto the missiles.
With the electricity back on, the computers at The Tower can control the trajectory of the ICBM's for their entire flight. Randall could, of course, have just calculated the correct ballistics, launched them, and crossed his fingers, but given his intention to off himself, he wouldn't get a second change if he screwed up. I can think of a few in-universe reasons:įirst, it's possible that the presence of the nanites would have interfered with the targeting system on the ICBMs (see below).
