Thinking Outside the "Plot"!

~ A Question for the Members: Would the aliens who brought Kronos to Earth in their giant mothership to steal our energy (because their civilization desperately needed it) simply give up after we discovered an "Achilles heel" in their power-draining machine?

~ My Theory: No. Of course not.

They would learn from their mistake and send one-or-more "power collectors" to suck our planet dry!

In fact, the giant mother ship which brought Kronos to Earth and placed it on the beach in Mexico is shown submerging itself in the Atlantic! Do we have any reason to believe that it left after that?





No!

Therefore, gentlemen, I submit that the mother ship remained on the ocean floor and monitored Kronos' progress right up until the time it was destroyed by a lucky maneuver which mankind discovered!





When that happened, the aliens evaluated the situation, determined what caused the failure . . . and made alterations in the other Kronos "energy collectors" which the giant ship had in it's cargo hold.

If Hollywood had understood the value of sequels in the 1950s, they could have made two or three more follow-up movies for Kronos, each one featuring an increasing number of the giant robots . . . until we finally see a climax in which mankind is faced with a dozen of them — all marching in formation across the landscape as they relentlessly stole the energy we possessed, without even slowing down!

Thoughts, gentlemen? (Heck, I've got more ideas I didn't even include here! I sincerely hope you guys do as well.)
