Tyrell Corporation

Is there any indication that Tyrell Corporation does nothing but perform research, design, and the manufacture of replicants?<BR><BR>In those (lamentable) sequels by Jeter, we find out that Tyrell, probably through a subsidiary, manufactures prosthetic appliances (including Holden's cardiopulmonary unit).<BR><BR>However, with that aside, do you think Tyrell is a "one-product" company or is the Corporation more of a conglomerate which has diversified its products and services through subsidiaries? If so, what else might they be responsible for manufacturing besides replicants? Weapons? Spinners? Tsing Tao? Surly nightclub owners?<BR><BR>(Now there's a thought...suppose that Taffey Lewis is a replicant.)

In DADOES Rosen's (Tyrell's) entire business is solely the manufacture of Replicants.

Perhaps 26354 is right... After vanquishing his market competitors (Sudermann and Grozzi, Derain, etc...)Tyrell has monopoly on the Rep market (according to Jeter's "Edge of Human").<BR>But it would be quite logical if such a big and speading company had many other subsidiaries, manufacturing other kind wares related to genetics, weapons, biotech stuff..<BR>

In the book its a one product company, but i get the idea that the Tyrell corp is a conglomerate, with many products in many different areas of life. I beleive the Zorg character from the fifth element was based off of Tyrell in BR, and the Zorg Corp controlled EVERYTHING in that universe.

With the exeption that Tyrell was a refined genius an Zorg wss a nut <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

There are those who might say that, despite being refined and a genius, Tyrell would still be a nut.

I think that the Tyrell Corp is a mianly bio mechanical baced company, and that they produse mainly replicants, and are constantly developing and refineing their products (Nexus 7, anyone?). I think that thier main product would be the replicant, as there are many types of replicant (pleasure, entertainment, combat, in the game, McCoy even mentions a 'Lolita' model...).

I figure that Tyrell's main products are replicants. Considering that Tyrell had a monopoly on the manufacturing of replicants, research, design, production, and sales would place significant demands on corporate resources such as time, labor, and materials.<BR><BR>However, it wouldn't surprise me if the corporation was also involved in sideline fields such as prosthetics and so forth. As far as dealing in weapons and other unrelated products, I highly doubt it.

BR796164, as Intellidroid said, there are those who might think he is just a refined genius who happened to be nuts <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> He believed he could control his creation, but when you makes something "more human than human" things are bound to happen.

Question: What do you need to know in order to create Replicants?<BR><BR>Answer: You need to know a great deal about human DNA, how the human body functions and how the human brain functions. It seems extremely likely to me with the knowledge I have of the world and of business in 2002, that Tyrell would have subsidiaries that provide all sorts of human bio fixes and enhancements. Such a company would be foolish not to diversify.<BR><BR>Within the virtual reality of BR, I still see their primary business as Replicants. With increasing problems that cause the Earth to be a bad place to live, I see huge funding going to Tyrell to develop Reps to assist in Off-World colonisation.<BR><BR>Just my take on it.<BR>

<!-- BBCode Start --><B>Wilkinis</B><!-- BBCode End -->, okay Tyrell was a nut...<BR>But that doesn't mean we can compare him to Zorg! Look at those two - Tyrell is a well mannered, charismatic and wise... yes, wise man. And what about Zorg? A neurotic cretin with shortcutted brain and weird fashion style clothes. <!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.plauder-smilies.de/nut.gif" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR>Anyways, making the children replicants as "Lolita pleasure models" is just plain perverse. <BR>The society of LA 2019 must be pretty sick. <BR>

Where did i say that they were carbon copies of one another? I mearly stated that Zorg was BASED off of Tyrell.

If that's so, then it was pretty lame try of Luc Besson. <!-- BBCode Start --><IMG SRC="http://www.plauder-smilies.de/laugh.gif" BORDER="0"><!-- BBCode End --><BR><BR>_________________<BR>Medieval Thievery?

Tyrell Corporation was formed when Microsoft merged with Monsanto in 2012 <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

To quote Red Dwarf, he has "all the charisma of a pubic louse". Look at him. Withered old man who talks in big words and never actually seems to look at any of the people he speaks to (doubtlessly because the actor, pardon my memory for forgetting his name, needed huge cue cards to remember his lines ((thankyou Future Noir)) ) He strikes fear into Sebastian, and generally is *not* a nice guy.<BR><BR>Well, that's just my feeling on the guy, not wanting to be too critical <IMG SRC="/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif"><BR><BR>Paul
