Oh, I dunno. The "I am a 30-second bomb" bit would be interesting. You
could even split-screen, with one side showing SFX straight out of "The
Matrix" only on a larger scale, the other showing a HUD of the action.
And remember, they used Nukes too when they had to. As in plural. A few
mushroom clouds on the horizon will jazz up even the most prosaic battle
scene.
Because the MI is about "surgical strikes", as in "tightly focussed
tailored damage to the areas you want to hit and no others", it could be
done.
