My point with the shield thing wasn't generally that the whole electric set would be against the level theme. I was suggesting the water shield mainly because it's more powerful and useful in such an open level. If I wanted mike to follow the "theme standards" I would have suggested him to put freezers instead of toaster as well. But what would you need freezers for in such a level when there are no pits even? And just as I stated the issue was not a major one.

But I can see your point here, and that's where you're right. Somehow even when I heard the word 'electro blaster' a thousand times, I never considered it an 'electric' weapon myself. I don't know why is that. Also all the PUs and shields in general are mechanical/electric objects that just have to be dealt with as they are. I could for example prefer gun crates over gun barrels in an 'organic themed' level because I have a chance to choose. But since there are no alternates for PowerUps in less mechanical form, I just have to place them without hesitation into levels or else there shouldn't be any Power Ups at all. I hope you get my point as well. :P
