Rebel drones

Panzer Dragoon

I agree with Geoffrey here, I don’t see that armor they wear just “growing” out of them I mean, it just doesn’t seem practical. Azel said that she looked human but she was INTERNALLY more like the monster that they were fighting, meaing that she was built the same way that they were inside, but they tried to make her look human on the outside. Also, she same she was “more like” the monsters, not identical to them. It seems more likely to me that the drones had high preformance armor made for them rather than having it grow on their bodies.

Perhaps what Abbad looks like is what all drones look like under their “skin”, made they just never needed to make a “skin” for him…

I can’t see why the Ancients would create armour for every drone while it’s much easier to let it grow onto them. Look at Azel’s feet this picture: http://www.panzerdragoon.net/extra_images/Azel.jpg. Wouldn’t she have shoes if she was wearing armour?

Abbad looks like he was one of the first attempts of the Ancients to create a humanoid, yet the importance of his objective seems to indicate otherwise. Like Geoffrey said, there’s a reason why he looks that way. What that reason is, we can only guess.

What outfit?!That black and white thing is her “skin”.Hence my doubts.That doesn’t look like human skin to me.But it doesn’t look like exo-skeleton either.

44

Hmm, odd. I never noticed this before, but if you look around Azels neck, it looks like she has human skin under her suit, but if you look at her feet, the suit looks very much like a part of her body…

45

Gosh!What suit?!

46

I choose to ignore that.

I was actually saying that you might be right about Azel, although I am unsure, I mean, towards the top it does look allot like a suit.

47

For me it looks like they went for a more skinnish appearence at the top.
And why do you ignore.Do you feel offended?

48

The outfit Azel wears seems to be covering the surface of her skin. If you look at the flesh around her neck you can see that the outift is a few layers above the skin. Her drone outfit is not her skin, otherwise it would merge at the same surface level with the skin below and around her neck.

49

Yes,but what I’m saying is that they are NOT at different levels :smiley:

(saturn didn’t support bump maping [heck it wasn’t even invented at that point] so I win etiher way :wink: )

50

Not if the exoskeleton is growing from pores in the skin itself.

51

You do realise that Saturn graphic’s are only representitive, Gehn? Look at the artwork of Azel…

52

You do realize it was suposed to be a joke don’t ya Shadow :wink: ?

Anyways, even checking the artwork this is not that easy to comprehend…

53

Meh, I think we should just agree to disagree… perception is an art form that differs from person to person.

54

Art?!

(sorry didn’t mean to burst your poetic bubble ;P)

55

I would like to see a drone vs Imperial war at some point in the games… perhaps something on the scale of the Lord of the Rings battles.

56

lol, yes G*hn, you hurt my feelings sniff.

Anyway, has anyone else noticed this:

  1. The dragon is zwei has no drone controlling it.
  2. After zwei, Lagi “hybernates” inside shelcoof.
  3. Lagi is next seen with a Drone riding him.

Is it possible that the Sky Rider is the drone that was made for the Guardian Dragon? No idea why it would help Lagi, but the thought recently occured to me, and I thought it might be worth getting your opinions on it.

57

Not in a million years if you ask me.

58

I doubt it’s true, but I’m the king of the pessimists.

59

It merges on the same surface level on her leg :slight_smile:
And I think it’s her “skin” as well, her top was made like that so that she would pass as a human easier imho :slight_smile:
