edit: all this talk of scenes got me inspired to try one. Not too happy on some details yet, and the
Mercy is in an odd pose, plus needs some foreground attackers, perhaps? I didn't plan actually having attackers shown, or the beams/drill shield effect for that matter. I think it actually needs a better angle...
Kinda spur-of-the-moment. Also, the TTGL influence is a little too obvious, no? :)
edit2: I'll stay the urge to refine the above until I get feedback (hopefully I will get some this time), so
Anxiety remains the next machine on the list.
Anything you'd say is wrong/out of place? The hair is supposed to look like that of a real pony - that's just one of the things about
Anxiety that make no sense for a battle robot, but exist because of Pinkie.
When transforming for the combination machine, the
Anxiety forms the twin cannons out of
both its fore and hind legs, their internal structure seamlessly integrating into the cannons' housing.
If the machines of the Pony Rangers were judged solely by their potential peak power output and performance, the
Anxiety would leave all its competitors trampled into the dirt, winning handily even against Celestia and Luna's
Harmonic Balance. Despite being lightly armored for its role as a heavy skirmish fighter, Pinkie Pie's custom machine possesses an incredibly tough endostructure, allowing it to withstand tremendous stress over short periods of time.
Its limbs are mostly made up of myomer macro-muscles, resulting in an excellent power-to-mass ratio second only to that of Rainbow Dash's
Tenacity. The muscles can sink a lot of power, but the power has to come from somewhere - and unlike RD's machine the
Anxiety doesn't have a high-performance powerplant. Instead, its chestplate conceals a capacitor bank large enough to provide the power required for the firing of the twin-linked Party Cannons. Since in its Titan form the
Anxiety is limited to much weaker weaponry, the power collected in the capacitors can instead be rerouted through the body's muscle groups, resulting in enormous bursts of speed, strength, and agility. And even though each such burst must be followed by a period of recharge, the
Anxiety's agility and flexibility allow it to always remain effective on the battlefield.
Combined with the natural precognition abilities of the Pink Ranger, the
Anxiety is a dangerous opponent indeed.
edit3: Continuing the good tradition of drawing funny ponies when frustrated with some part of the design:
Not quite happy with how the rear legs, and rear torso in general, look. And the face can use a few touch-ups as well. Can't think of any good ways to improve either at the moment.
