Giant mechanical ants!

I wonder if the ants rip Skinner apart as in the episode.....

We should have gotten one free ant and the others cost donuts like the islands from Christmas. :wink:

Oh, don't worry it could still happen ala antgate, where we get a free one at the end

I really want them all but I was hoping they'd move like the reindeer or the grasshoppers.

edit- How long is the task where they're on the school?

Permanent 10hr task for Bart

What's the official name of the task called?

60 donuts for all four as a set might have tempted me. At 60 each, EA can go elsewhere and do something private to themselves.

Ugh. I was dreading their appearance. They are just too creepy; stuff like that gives me nightmares. (Have any of you seen the movie Them!)

My older brother took me to go see it at the movies when it first came out. The original, 1954 version. I was 4 years old.

'Nuff said.

(... and yet, I bought all four mechanical ants this morning.) :twisted:

Regrets? I'm on the fence. They seem a tad pricey to me.

I like them, but 60 donuts for a 0.75% bonus is way too high when there's multiple 40 donut items with a 2% bonus in the store.

I bought them and I really like them (the ants and the Movie.) When not attacking the school, they are in my Monsarno campus with my giant grasshopper.

Here they are at the school with a bunch of possums running around, remarkably looking like ants:

What am I missing ? I reluctantly (due to excessive price) got all 4 ants, and placed them randomly throughout the town. When the mechanical ant icon showed up in the task bar, it allowed them to attack the school while Bart had the controller in his hand. Great ! But now what ???

I would have thought it would be a permanent task option for Bart, but no - the ants just sit there and don't animate, they just emit a sound when tapped.

Is that it or did I miss something ?
