Yeah, the initial design was quite strongly based off of Zero. Another revision gave him some orange on his shoulderpads (which were much smaller), and helmet, which resulted in him looking a bit more like pulseman, an entirely unrelated character. Then I decided to trash the orange, turn his limbs metal, and then turn the shoulders into gigantic balls.

If anything, he looks like a derivative of the metal-hero type character, save for that giant gun-arm. Still, I stuck with the same backstory because "I GOT A MOTHAF***IN GUN FOR A HAND!"

Late to the party as I rarely come to this section of the forums but:

Very nice work, Bluhman.

And I am quite late to this reply, but thank you ClockMaker!
But now I have 2 more people on this huge list.

Power Armor with rockets. There really is nothing better than charging two rocket blasts at once and doing upwards of 4000 damage at level 20. This guy's build might be what Screamin' Eagle's build should have been from the beginning... If only he wasn't already level 40. In other news, look at that goofy nose.

Oh, hey, it's my first real Ice character and she isn't even fully Ice. The gameplan for this seems to be turning out to have the damage-dealing moves all from Ice, and use Fire as backup for energy generation and defense reduction. Also note that Ice Blast with its advantage is pretty much the only good blast in the game. Just saying.

And of course she's got Fireflight and Ice-slide for travel, right? It'd just be wrong not to.

Ha, again very nice characters. Zeppelin is especially awesome. Let's hope a big ol' flying fortress will be one of the vehicles they talked about in the SotG.
