Look I had to with the most recent Genshin update adding her as a playable character. And with her whole thing being a mechanic (and herself a machine) I thought why not have her forms based off of a certain family of bosses and enemies that are also mechanical. The clockwork bugs of silksongs citadel.
First Aide is obviously based off of pulonia (rip) who was (until the bitch bird doctor killed him) bascially sandrone's own personal companion. And is also the first Stentarian transformation, I think period.
Second Sentinel is based off of second sentinel (another no brainer) with them being a toa of wind as second sentinel's fight involes a lot of jumping and attacks from mid-air on sentinel's part.
Third generator was pitched as a sorberian-an extinct species from 5yl and the species that kellen geoff's personal favorite custom alien energuy is one of. Though evidently it was changed to a sonorosian. Probably for maybe the Sorberian being a bit op or their lore or something. I'm not sure but I'm not too sad over it. Though I may have just misspelt Sorberian in the pitch and he just assumed it was sonorsian, aw well too late now.
Fourth Chorus is based off of Fourth Chrous. And is the biggest of all the transformations (fitting since Chorus is the biggest of all the cogwork class of enemies/bosses)
Fifth Scavenger is based off of the cogwork defenders. I was contemplating whether to base them off the maestros in order to add the cogfly's into this, but I decided to stay fully in the cogwork core theming since maestros are found in high halls and are lorewise more a part of the choir than anything cogwork related.
Sixth Audio is based off of the record-playing statue things from the architect three-fold melody room. Cause I accidently spoiled myself with that part of the game and I just love the three-fold melody too much to not refernce it in the omnidroid that's a walking silksong reference (also Genshin and reverse but shush)
Seventh Cleaner is based on the Cogwork Cleanser's. I made them a cascan since I don't think there are any steam-using mechanical/semi-mechanical species in autoca canon and I assume with how cascans in the reboot can change the state of water they could create steam as a form of attack like how they can create ice constructs and stuff.
Eight recorder was in my pitch based off of loggerhead from reverse 1999 which she still clearly is, but now clearly made to appear much more like some other musume types. Also, first musume omnidroid transformation
Ninth Dancer is based off the cogwork dancers. Dancer and Aide were kinda tricky for me to figure out what species to make them. My ideas for what species they would be ranged from mini-cons, Geth, and Catharsians. Though I ended up with stentarian for aide and lithonan for Dancer.
And Tenth Architect is based off of twelfth Architect; I couldn't call it twelfth since there's only a maximum of ten transformations and Tsukasa getting four additional transformations is something probably not happening anytime soon for other omnidroids. To Tenth it is.
Also, two side facts I'm mentioning now since I got no other place to mention them at.
I purposely did not mention Fagio here at all since this was made before her reveal and I like pulonia more.
In the pitch description I also kind of referenced to a version of columbina being one of her friends and popping up at her parties. Not sure if that's canon or not. Just wanted to get this out since I'm a sandbina shipper and I had to at least reference the two of them being heavily associated with each other in here.
