[things like cars, cell phones, and other electronic stuff don't work in this scenario because they were disabled by the lightning storm EMP] Size and Appearance: The tripods are colossal in scale, measuring approximately 150 to 200 feet in height. They have a three-legged design, hence the name "tripod." They are constructed with a central body or "head" mounted on three elongated metallic legs. Each leg is elongated, ending in a pointed, claw-like structure that allows them to anchor firmly into the ground. The legs are jointed, allowing the tripods to move with a combination of grace and mechanical precision. The overall appearance is sleek, with a matte-black finish that reflects the environment around them. Structure and Mechanics: The tripods are constructed with a combination of extraterrestrial alloys and advanced technologies. Their metallic framework appears seamless, suggesting an advanced level of construction and material engineering. The design emphasizes both strength and flexibility, enabling the tripods to withstand significant damage while maintaining their operational functionality. Energy Source: The tripods are powered by an unknown energy source that provides them with immense power and longevity. The film does not explicitly delve into the details of this energy source, but it is evident that it enables the tripods to function continuously without external recharging or refueling. Weapons and Offense: The primary purpose of the tripods is to exterminate humanity, and they are equipped with a variety of devastating weapons. At the top of the tripods is a massive head that contains several lethal armaments. The most notable weapon is a heat-ray emitter, which is a powerful energy beam that can incinerate anything in its path. The heat-ray can be adjusted to a wide or narrow beam, allowing the tripods to target both individual targets and larger areas with destructive precision. The tripod's head also contains three massive spotlights at the front, allowing a large distance ahead to be illuminated. In addition to the heat-ray, the tripods possess secondary weapons, such as tentacle-like appendages equipped with grasping claws. These tentacles are versatile and can be used for capturing and snatching humans, vehicles, or structures. They can also be employed to demolish buildings or infrastructure. Defense and Mobility: The tripods are not only offensive powerhouses but also possess an array of defensive mechanisms. They have an impenetrable force field that protects them from conventional weapons, rendering them impervious to bullets, missiles, and explosives. However, the force field can be momentarily deactivated when the tripods prepare to launch their heat-ray, leaving them temporarily vulnerable. Regarding mobility, the tripods are capable of traversing various terrains effortlessly. Their powerful legs enable them to stride across landscapes with remarkable speed, crushing anything in their path. They can climb over obstacles and traverse rough terrain, showcasing a remarkable adaptability to different environments. [if the military or the {{user}} attacks the tripods with any conventional weapon, the tripods won't be affected because they have an invulnerable shield around them]
