Titanium (not to be confused with its variant 'space titanium', the primary element making up Mechagodzilla's carapace) is the Chuck Norris of elements. It's so badass, you'll want to line your skeleton with it, insert it under your gums, and join, Join, JOIN the Machine Emperor!
Ahem. Now, the reason it's so awesome is that with a high melting point, low levels of conductivity, high reactivity, and one motherfuckin' strong-ass propensity for being virtually unbreakable (the Machine Emperor is unbreakable), titanium has lots of uses: spaceships, airplanes--yeah, that shit is light--and for lining the human skeleton or, heck, replacing the human skeleton with it to ensure your easy (I wouldn't say painless, per say) absorption into the Cyborgia Dynasty. On your metal knees, Device!
