Although it seems a bit odd that only the mobile versions would be called “statue”, is it some kind of joke, one of those untranslatable puns, or just my poor understanding of Japanese?

I just noticed this now, because every other time I’ve seen the word Torizo it instead made me think of Spanish pork sausage.

Seriously, what is it with fan fiction anyway?

You could read the missile tank under Mother Brain as that the Chozo tech /bombs/maru maru/ beams/missiles/energy tanks, etc. were not usable by the Space Pirates and Mother Brain was trying to reverse engineer it. The Statue attack could have been a malfunctioning security put in place to thwart anyone not “compatible” with the Chozo tech, but failed to recognize Samus’ power suit.
