Benny had a good molt! His first with us! Sadly enough day 2 pip is still on her back. How do i tell if she is dead? I cant find anything on it.

been trying to get back into art, so i made a piece of a slightly updated version of my OC Weaver. Here he is showing off his powers with magic blades and magic threads while fighting some off-screen opponent.

Turned my OC Weaver into a Lancer Mech. not sure what to do with it from here but it certainly looks really cool.

Mechanically, they are a 1/2 size Atlas 3 frame with Mag Clamps, Synthetic Muscle Netting, and the Webjaw Snare. Basically I just tried my best to be as faithful to my OC's original powerset as I could.

My other option for a build is going for Goblin and making them a hacker to fuck with everyone. Climbing up walls, ceilings, and other mechs to get away from enemies while I spam tech attacks. Either option works really.

"you cant just use the same OC over and over again in every thing, thats not how this works!"

The ever applicable Weaver:

Been rewatching some of Transformers Animated lately and got inspired to put my spider in there. Should I have instead studied the existing material to find a unique angle of character to design while still fitting in the established lore? Fuck no, I'm instead gonna jam my sona into every possible franchise and work it out from there simply because no one can stop me.

Anyway, this is WEAVER, "Web-generating Emergency All-terrain Vehical and Enviromental Repair". A prototype vehicular robot invented by a Sumdac engineer named Kumo Tafette. It was designed to stabilize and temporarily repair structures and infrastructure during an emergency using synthetic webbing. It's head is filled with both a cockpit and an advanced sensor array capable of identifying not only structural faults, but also any life signs trapped by rubble.

Its spider legs allow it to traverse nearly any environment, and its silk can be engineered on the spot to fill any needed role. The spider shape was due to its inventors' fascination with arachnids. It was also far easier to engineer a vehical transformation with a spiders body instead of a humanoid one. The face and design were also built to be appealing to citizens to help ease them in emergencies (and it looks cool).

Anyway, justifications that I only thought of just now now aside, lets talk combat capabilities. Weaver was never built for combat really. Being an earth robot. It's not made of the same tough stuff as cybertronians, still he likes to help when he can by webbing up bad guys. The webs typically degrade over a few days so their repairs are very temporary. good enough for an emergency or to snag a foe but not great for long-lasting structures. They dispense webs through the cannons on their arms. And they can do that while in vehical mode too. In a pinch, the claws on the ends of their arms are hard enough to break concrete if punched with so they can hurt pretty bad in a fight.

Still not sure if I should give them the allspark shard treatment or not.

in honor of coming full fucking circle, i redrew a panel from the very manga that inspired my spider OC. original panel under the cut.
