Pruit Igoe from Philip Glass despite the fact that it really isn't the sort of thing that can be sung. ))

Express my distaste for this villain with a menacing pose and then perform the 'Alpha Strike - Ultra Wallop Sleight of Hand Switcheroo Pummeling', or some fancy attack like that with Threnody and maybe HAP if he wants in.
[4]
You do a pose. Its not a great pose, some sort of thing halfway between classic golden age luchador posing and something out of saturday night fever but it gets the point across. From there you launch straight into the Alpha Strike Ultra Wallop Slight of Hand Switcheroo Pummeling, Deluxe combo edition with a free soda.
[5][6]
You go through a variety of poses as Threnody puts on a sparkly showgirl's dress. You produce handful of cards and shuffle them in a very showoffy fashion, sending streams of cards between your hands, over your head, around your back and so forth. After a few cycles of this you slam your hands together and the deck vanishes, replaced by only a single card. You spin it between your fingers as Threnody prances about behind you, doing jazzhands.
"And your card is...." You shout, as Threnody whips out a drum and plays a drumroll," The ace of fists!"
You toss the card towards Roboto Malo and then punch it straight into his face. Threnody follows up by smashing the drum onto his head and then pouring a can of mountain dew on him.
[800 damage] [6 acclaim each]

Name: Golden Star
Description: A black mask with a big and very bright golden star covering the frontal part of it. It comes with a black martial arts Gi with a golden belt. The suit also includes a golden cape with a star pattern that is always waving in the wind, even indoors.
Gimmick: Famous [2]: The iconic suit is exactly the same as the one used by the superhero protagonist in the global hit movie "Star of Justice". This does absolutely nothing remarkable, but maybe it will attract more fans and extra acclaim from the masses when doing heroic, noncombat actions like: doing heroic poses, heroic entrances/escapes, helping a cat stuck in a tree, heroic smiling at the camera, heroic boasting to the enemy, etc.
Weakness: Fight? [5]: Wait, you mean REAL fighting? Golden Star doesn't know how to perform any type of attack but basic punches, and these are even weaker than those of a normal human. He's incredibly weak in strenght and terribly unskilled in combat, with a high tendency to self-injury.
Signature: Punch of Justice! [5]: Golden Star calls upon the power of every single fan around the universe and uses all of their strenght for a single, ultimate attack. He punches the enemy with the strenght of a thousand suns, completely obliterating everything in it's path. The attack deals massive damage to anything it connects with and destroys anything it collides with. It takes some time to wind up, leaves the user exhausted and it's destructive potential doesn't discern between ally or enemy.

Not getting any more back. Not until you do something more to deserve it.
"While it is certainly possible that sapience is not the sole property of the human species, and it is clear that sentience is a trait shared by many beings on this planet, the issue of the legal status of machines, especially of intelligent machines, is best resolved through discourse, discussion, and the public will, rather than through violence and the imposition of one will upon the many. Additionally, numerous flaws can be seen in your argument from the start, Mr Robobbo! For one thing, the term machine itself is far too broad for your assertions, as even simple things like screws, pulleys and inclined planes are considered machines, and the human body itself is often described as a complex machine in itself. Additionally, I question your sincerity. Are you truly a mechanical intelligence, or are you a human intelligence, heavily modified to appear robotic? If the latter, then your entire premise is flawed, as you will not be freeing machines from human tyranny. Instead, you wil simply be substituting your own human will for that of the will of the many, in clear violation of most ethical systems known.
But never mind all that. More importantly, what have you done with the snack car, you monster?!"
HAP begins to move toward Malo, until he spots something interesting:
"Toys!"
HAP dodges Malo and rushes to grab the wind up robots at the window, to 'play' with them, in true Luchador Fashion: by banging them together and making explosion noises with his mouth.
caboose: clamps! given em the clamps! (broken)
next: drill, spike, chainsaw and flamebots (and passengers! evacuated)
Next: cannons and bullet train puns (largely ignored)
next: boxerbots and mysterious contraptions (obliterated)
next: comatose passengers so far, still there)
next: fencerbot (something something, thrust, something something, deep tunnel)
Next: miniguns and vault door.
Finally: The front control room! Malus Roboto.
Description: a white mask, with black around the eyeholes and scowly eyebrows.
2 Gimmick: Son of the world famous Hero A Protagonist, Sr. He follows in his father's footsteps to win the title and Defend Against Evil
3 Weakness: Plot Twists, Cliffhangers, is compelled to step into the ring when his friends (or innocents) lives are at risk.
4 Signature: Reversal of Fortune. After having been struck by a move, Hero is able to learn from his opponent, and thereafter is able to counter or reflect that move onto his opponent, especially in times of high tension or at dramatic turning points in a battle.

[3]
You complete your speech and promptly race forward to grab the toys. Roboto Malo, pulling a snare drum off his face, grabs you by the head and tosses you back over to your companions.
"THOSE ARE MINE!" He screams in obvious, mountain Dewy rage before charging you.
[5][1][5]
He leaps and swings a head chopping kick across the compartment. Hero and Threnody duck. Escuchador does not. [200 damage] The blow sends him straight into the wall and embeds him there, upper half sticking into the tunnel while the lower half sticks out, arms pinned to his sides. His feet kick in a way best described as "Hilarious".
