When we last left this matchup, we were deadlocked at 1 to 1 as the moderator cited the need for “further tests… to determine the range, power, and accuracy of Unicorn horn lightning bolts.”
After painstaking research, the matchup resumes thanks to this rare and telling photograph.
It seems that it is rainbows and not lightning bolts that unicorns shoot out of their horns. From this photo, we can also determine that the trajectory of the beam is straight and true (if one assumes that Robocop’s computer-guided targeting is accurate and, of course, we do).
As for the effects of this beam, the photo does not give evidence. However, we may infer that the unicorn’s position beside Robocop indicates a partnership between the two (note that the Unicorn, or UniCop, is protecting Robocop’s exposed backside from counter attack). Robocop’s acceptance of this arrangement suggests that Robocop values the unicorn’s effectiveness in battle: no small endorsement coming from such a decorated police officer.
The lions have charged that the photo tells another story: that the unicorn’s rainbow is a passive rather than aggressive spell, and the unicorn is protecting the object(s) of Robocop’s unwavering justice from harm and/or healing their wounds.
Both interpretations could be possible where it not for further evidence of the Robocop/Unicop partnership, captured by an amateur wildlife photographer equipped with a Nikon Watercolor2000 with a 15x zoom lens.
The moderator therefore declares that the category “One on One Battle” go to the Unicorns, making the final score: Unicorns 2, Lions 1.
Congratulations, Unicorns, you move on to Round 2… just as soon as we break the tie between Dinosaurs and Princesses.
