How do you steal a prototype weapon that's being transported by a military convoy?

follow them in a car. wait till they stop for donuts. jump out the car and nick the lorry with the weapon.

oh, hang on, that's how to steal the tank in GTA: vice city. still, it might work.

Depending on the size of the weapon, either with a tactical airstrike and ground force recon team, or ninjas.

Ninjas are just my fall-back subcontractors for anything, whether it's hijacking sophisticated weapons of mass destruction based on gamma wave radiation or putting up some vinyl siding on my house. Ain't nobody gets nothing done like a platoon of ninjas.

Problem with ninjas is, lacking faces and clear-cut personalities, they tend to get killed quicker and in greater numbers. The same problem exists with robots. I suggest betrayal from within.

Knockout gas + you disguised as a caterer= perfect crime

Stop the convoy on the road using a stop sign on a stick. Dress up in a trench coat and wear black framed glasses and carry a briefcase. Tell driver that the GAO is reposessing the vehicle due to late payment. Drive away snickering. (Remember not to exclaim "Suckers!" until you are out of earshot.)

I'd always ask Jack Bauer when it comes to trying to get anything done that seems impossible.

Whatever you do, don't leave Batman and the robot on the same shore at the same time, as Batman will eat the Robot.

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 27 June 2005 17:49 (twenty years ago)

There's no room to doubt Batman's abilities. Just tell him to do it.

You can't have Spiderman and Darth Vader to help as they are currently fighting each other outside my living-room window. (This is true.)

Awww, Spider-Man doesn't even have a father!

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Monday, 27 June 2005 17:54 (twenty years ago)

Don't ask Jack Bauer. He'll break your fingers if he finds out because millions of people are going to die, do you understand?

Also, stopping the theft of nuclear devices isn't something he's too hot at. He doesn't *know* how to steal it (but he would know how to stop it).

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 27 June 2005 17:57 (twenty years ago)

and he'd completely disobey all your orders and kill your entire family because IT WAS THE ONLY WAY HE COULD GET THE JOB DONE

ailsa, can you give our newsdesk a call about this? :)

― grimly fiendish (grimlord), Monday, 27 June 2005 18:47 (twenty years ago)

are they fathers fighting for justice?
that was weird

― dahlin (dahlin), Monday, 27 June 2005 18:51 (twenty years ago)

use your jetpack you stole from area 69 to fly over the train and shoot the soldiers guarding it, then shoot open the crates until you find the weapon (or alternatively some green goo stuff)

I would just lurk in the shadows until they reached their destination. Having passed through all the checkpoints, they would unlock the case only to find it empty, at which point I would set off some blue lightning and cackle to indicate that I had stolen it even before they had set out.

― Pangolino 2, Monday, 27 June 2005 22:38 (twenty years ago)

Oh - Batman and the robot could stuff the case with crumpled newspaper and rocks for me. I'm not so good at packing.

― Pangolino 2, Monday, 27 June 2005 22:40 (twenty years ago)

You don't. I mean, what's the point of nicking a prototype weapon? I might not work properly. Then you've got every government agency on your tail for no gain. Today's discerning supervillain waits until the manufacturer has perfected the weapon, and then steals it. Thus Dr. Evil gets a fully-functioning death-ray, while saving a not inconsiderable sum on R&D into the bargain.

Come on dude, all you have to do is follow this strategy:

1) On every turn with an odd-numbered-year, focus each city of 6 or more on food.

2) When two or more civilizations offer you chivalry, trade them wines

3) Rush-build catapults in your capital, which you should then move to your second-largest city, which should be building Pyramids, and disband them.

4) Claim as much forest as you can and build fortresses on all of it.

5) Research Music Theory ASAP
