Takumi's Commander Form: Water Dragon
Happy birthday Takumi 4/16
I chose water dragon based on Takumi's love of swimming + the snake on Takumi's sword.

Shouma's Commander Form: Bat
No, not a dog. As cute as it was to imagine Shouma turning into a shiba inu, Futurans wouldn't have those. Dogs in general are an Earth-human invention (even if they do have dogs, the dogs would have been bred/evolved differently from earth dogs).
I put Maxwell there to show scale.
She can still Shield by closing her wings, but she has to perch on something or it doesn't work right, which can make fighting more complicated. Considering the usual battlefields dont have areas to perch (perching on the Barrier Generator would be a bad idea, as that would take damage too), she would more likely have to perch on another commander (who would ...also take the damage....). Battle strategies are overall pretty awkward in most circumstances, and it's honestly just easier if Shouma stays out of the fights or uses the SDU battle form.
However, her ability to unlock hidden memories enhances in this form, and one of her hidden abilities only present in this form is the ability to help others unlock their hidden memories, in a zero-damage version of her light attack, which stuns the person temporarily. This can also free them of brainwashing.
Maxwell's Commander Form
-(based on a jumping spider + scorpion tail)
-when it first saw a glimpse of itself in the mirror like this it screamed and freaked the fuck out
-apparently the metal parts of the commander forms come from their suits and helmets. and apparently any clothes you're wearing get somewhat incorporated into the commander form.
-he tried to change his form and make himself a cat, but only managed to change form a little bit, giving himself cat ears and tail more like a cat's. still a giant spider.
-it's still trying to learn mobility, that's a lot of legs to work with
First Time Transforming Into Commander Forms...
Max approached Darumi with the idea that the students might have commander forms ("If we have the other commanders powers, maybe we can summon commander forms too!")
(trigger warnings for a lotta blood, cutting and cutting mention, Darumi depression, angst)
(this is how commanders in Hundred Line summon their commander forms, do not let this comic influence you to self harm, seek support for self harm if you need it)
