i dont know if anyone’s talked about it but i like how pulse robert’s foot isn’t like…a foot. i dont know if you were going for a like cloven hoove type deal or something but for be it reminds me of theropod (and like, by extension emus and ostriches i guess) feet
Thank you so much! I actually drew the prosthetic without much thought behind it, but the more I draw of him and the more I write, I've slowly settled on it being a rabbit's foot! I've been thinking of properly sitting down and designing something that's more like the hind limbs of a rabbit crossed with a runner's prosthetic. (but thats a task for future Yon when he has more energy!)
Pulse Robert built 'The Rabbit's Foot' at the tender age of 18 using whatever was left from the wreckage of the Mechaman suit. It's a horribly cobbled together thing that's a miracle it works at all on the basis that Pulse built it while going through manic depression and psychosis at the time.
While Pulse is as feral as any Robert Robertson the third and can fight as well as any of them, he avoids putting himself in the field at all costs. Mostly due to having glass bones and paper skin as a result of being blown up by the Mech suit. The Rabbit's Foot is a hail mary for when he's absolutely cornered and needs to swing his glass canon. All the force of that same speeding mech behind the swing of a prosthetic.
Because the leg was built under duress, there are a few oddities in it. Namely a built in shotgun that's hidden in the shin, an open live wire under the rabbit's toes. And the visible loose cables on the leg being impossible to get rid of.
If he uses a shorter cable, the leg moves too fast. If he stuffs it in a casing, the static buildup causes it's movements to be twitchy. If he removes the cable, the leg refuses to connect to his body. If he connects the cable somewhere else, the entire leg moves backwards.
The loose cable catches on all sorts of things and is load bearing for some ungodly reason, RIP pulse.
