^Actually, I wasn't being serious in that post in the first place. Like I already said, I have no issue with Baby-5's gag (I just found it curious that there wasn't anyone ELSE that did).
BTW, I meant to mention this earlier, but I had figured that Franky transformed into his Shogun mode as a means to protect himself from the gas. It doesn't seem like the stuff affects metal, after all (and Franky himself is only
part-metal, so I'm sure he would have been petrified too if he breathed in that stuff).....
