Booster Tube

1 min read

The Booster Tube is the long pipe running the length of the EDA{.wikilink} and into the Attenuator{.wikilink}. The Booster Frame{.wikilink} is bolted on the Booster Tube. According to evidence found by pchrisbosh1, there are two types of weld present on the tube, a detail which differs from movie to movie. In the first movie, all the hero packs had a thick weld between the top of the tube and the Ion Arm{.wikilink}, probably to strengthen the Ion Arm installation on the fiberglass shell. In the second movie, a "weld" of some sort of sealant was added at the base of the tube, where it goes into the Attenuator. The semi-hero props had the booster tube and "weld" molded in, and they actually added the "weld" on the hero packs that they upgraded for the second movie.
