  WWE claimed 3 seconds of footage in this video, so I had to make an edit toward the tail end. Sorry for the random cut at about <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-krIPfk2OIA&amp;t=7720">2:08:40</a>!

  I have to say, having an android cop who&apos;s experiencing anger and resentment at being treated like a disposable tool confront the villain, read his Miranda Rights of the Future, then start talking about all the rights <i>he</i> doesn&apos;t have in order to hammer home how the human villain indeed does not understand the rights he&apos;s been given is smarter than I would have expected from a TekWar adaptation of all things.

  Somewhere, in an underground prison, a man shivers in his sleep.<br>He remembers...a pinnacle. A pinnacle of entertainment software.<br>Capstone.<br>He jerks awake in a cold sweat, his jailors unfazed. The prisoner screams.<br>&quot;CAPSTOOOOOOOOONE!&quot;

  Okay but &apos;You have the right to remain silent, you have the right to an attorney, you have the right to own property, you have the right to not *be property*, do you understand?&apos; from a visibly failing police android is a genuinely great bit.

  Calling them &quot;marihuana cigarettes&quot; is the most man born in 1931 phrasing ever written

  The extremely literal, play-by-play, thinking-out-loud writing style of the novels sounds a lot like how I imagine someone would novelize a TV script.

  I know so little about TekWar and I&apos;ve never been so excited to learn EVERYTHING about TekWar.

  I wished Shatner was my dad. Then came the TekWar video game, where Shatner is perpetually disappointed in me. <br> <br>It&apos;s perfect.

  I watched this yesterday and “William Shatner’s Cruelty Squad” is still stuck in my head

  “The kids need to learn about tech war sooner or later” is a line we use in my house to this day!

  Finally, Majuular gets to experience Capstone: the Pinnacle of Entertainment Software.
