Re: Ah, yes, the weapons!

In Response To: Ah, yes, the weapons! (Leviathan)


: I was imagining the gold lights as sentinel beam-type weapons (except ones
: that actually do some damage! :P). The ones on his chest would probably be
: more geared towards defensive / up-close-and-personal situations, while
: the three gold canons on his arms/wings would be his main, offensive
: weapons. There's also three other beam projectors underneath his lower
: leg, and so in flight mode, his legs would be used very similar to his
: arms/wings, basically as turrets hovering about his torso.

I love his stance. The weapons are held behind the head/control cabin. It's like he's leaning forward and taunting you as he slices you to pieces. I could imagine the shoulders where they are attached rolling forward so that the arms/wings could be used as a shield for the face.

: I was also imagining there would be some more secondary weapons alongside his
: thrusters underneath some of the flaps and wings on his tail. They would
: become more noticeable in his flight mode (which is also probably his main
: stance for combat, as it would give him maximum mobility and scope for his
: weapons).

If he was used to attack ground targets, I could see most of the weapons facing downwards when he was in flight mode. I would love to see a sketch of it. The profile of the flight mode looks awesome. It looks like some kind of deadly prehistoric sea creature.

: I have some sketches of him using these weapons, and it basically looks like
: beams of light issuing forth from this metal, seraphic form.

And why haven't your shared them with us? Don't be a tease. :P

: Oh, and I don't know who that guy is exactly. He may be the Didact... He may
: not be. But I was definitely going for that taller-Forerunner/Promethean
: type of being. He's mostly there for scale.

That's why I was asking. There's a big height difference between the different ones. I've been trying to get a good picture of Didact and Born next to each other.
