Just found this vid; http://youtube.com/watch?v=qxQ24jnVcmI

Lots of good clips of MGP. Watch the first scene and the bombing run. In the first, you can tell that the auxiliary limbs are jointed--wouldn't make sense for a trunk to be jointed, would it?

Then watch the bombing run; pause it when MGP rears back after the hit for a good view of the chest. There's clearly a line of moving SOMETHINGS on his chest, but to be honest, again, they look nothing like a mouth. They move in a sort of ripple like the legs of a centipede; this makes me think more of the tiny hair-things on the bottom of shrimp and lobsters. To that extent, I think it's more plausible to say that MGP can use his auxiliary limbs to lift people and then pass them through the 'teeth/hairs' on his chest to tear them up and feed them into his mouth. Shot in the dark, I know, but like I keep saying... I just can't buy the suckers yet. I will admit, though, in the Hud-eating scene, it does appear that the node with the extra arms could be it's own independent head. This might just be the lighting, though.

Still, we need that action figure...

Yes we do, because quite honestly MGP looks different each time he is shown! Confused

Watch Hud's final scene closely. I still insist the "outer" mouth opens and it's "real" mouth is behind that. I'm sorry I keep bringing it up, but only one other person sees it to and I wonder if we're just seeing things?

...

As for the "tubes"/"claws" debate... Webbed claws? I definitely see the end flex like a widening tube, but in my mind, belly tubes are just too weird. Webbed claws/flippers that grab things sound more reasonable (or as reasonable as I can get concerning giant monsters ;P)

Clover,

I'm sorry I ever doubted you. You are completely 100% correct about the teeth. There are two sets and I have the proof finally! I found a higher quality version and with a little photoshop magic it's pretty clear.

Just as the monster is about to chomp:

Down the hatch Hud!

He's got "canine" teeth that show when his mouth is closed like a crocodile. There are four small teeth inside his mouth you can only see when he opens his mouth.

Good eye!

Edit: Just for fun, The last thing Hud sees in his life: The monster's tongue!

Yeah I know, I'm new here and I've been actively reading these forums for awhile but I cant help but seem to notice something with the structure of MGP's arms and head (Even teeth) Minus the ears.

Does anyone else see the resemblance to a Vampire bat?

Notice the similar beady eyes and the shape of the mouth, not as much teeth as MGP but similar layout.

In this one, notice the how the arms bend the same way and how the hands are almost identical to the way MGP stands while walking through the city.

Just another good example of the face and arm structure, the bat is standing almost identical to the way MGP stands while walking through the city. You can see a good example of this when he's getting bombed twoards the ending.

Take away from the ears and replace them with his bubbles, or breathing apparatus (which ever you believe it's) and you have a very similar looking facial structure.

Just thought I would share my opinions because this has been growing on me for a little while now Very Happy
