they are, like a seesaw

Their secret weapon is some crazy orange topped cyborg with wheels for legs...

I love the picture of pg waving his finger from the back of the scooter. I half expected the next shot to be him pushing one of the other dudes, with his finger. The next shot should have been of said dude falling over as his CG moves outside the convex hull of his feet.
