Hunter killer bot patrolling forest outside monastery of the technomonks

Tetrodotox-5 hunter killer bot adapted to patrol duty by the technomonks

The world of Magnum Thrax is a very dangerous place, filled with technological horrors run amok. 

The peaceful Order of Non seeks uninterrupted calm, requiring them to employ high tech guardians to intercept those who would interrupt them typing prayers and devour them. 

The Tetrodotox-5 is well suited for this, armed with both a plasma cannon and gatling gun using depleted uranium ammunition.

Abandoned wreck of Bolt APC carrier

Wreck of a Bolt model APC carrier, by Wyndam Dynamics

A common sight south of the ruins of Kansas City, where several dozen of these can be found scattered about, quietly rusting. This was the death knell of an ancient mobile infantry brigade, which ran up against a more formidable biomechanical foe. 

The Bolt APC featured a plasma cannon mounted in a 360 degree turret, but it had little penetrating power and was prone to overheating.

The Amusement Park of Doom

At the very heart of the Dark Lord's empire lies source of Michael Chrichton's greatest fear: The Amusement Park of Doom. This ravenous park expands at the expense of everything else, consuming the world and homogenizing it into a state of indescribable blandness so total it induces madness. 

Here are some of the favourite rides:

Yes, they're all roller coasters. Courtesy MidJourney prompts.

Images from the world of Magnum Thrax, via MidJourney

I've never been able to visually realize the world of Magnum Thrax, until now. Thanks to AI rendering using MidJourney, I've been able to pump out a number of images that feel like they could come from Thrax's madcap post-apocalyptic world.

Here's one of the androids in adaptive battle armour; embedded nanites can deploy a variety of tools, weapons or tentacles as need may be:

Below is an image of ambulatory fungus, absorbing radiation. Living cleaner bots designed by one of the surviving AI hubs:

Lastly we have an android that has been cybernetically integrated into battle armour; their brain exposed within a hardened shell of cubic silicon nitrate. Otherwise fatally injured androids can be recycled back into combat service using machine parts: 

Feels very Heavy Metal somehow...

It's amazing, but does have drawbacks. There is no structure beneath the detail, it's like a thin crust atop... nothingness. But it's still hella cool to play with.
