Nataph Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I would love to see different variations of different droids as armor. I know we have the cyborg's however what about all the others droids that are part of the star wars universe? A hk? ig-88? even a federation battle droid (well a type of). I think the more customizations the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberneticDucks Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 i love the cybernetic 808 armor, although i prefer the blue cyborg's cerebrum*. the bright yellow of series 808* is horrific though, but it reacts well with dyes. the only problems i had that were present in all of the classic (with cerebrums) cyborgs was that: 1. you could see through the cerebral plating when you get up close. the plates weren't air-tight and it lost the 'brain case' look to it. 2. the robot parts were not beefy enough, the right leg and upper right arm were pretty much a metal stick. the abdominal section lacked enough tubes and supports. i also feel that the cyborg hand should be more complex. 3. the cyborg hand was pretty much just 3 fingers and a hollow palm, and the fingers were pretty much claws. it is the right hand as well, the hand that holds the blaster. the hand was pretty much just a giant claw that lacked any ability to hold anything, let alone articulate a small object and pull the trigger on a blaster. the blaster pistol was also stowed on the 'metal stick' leg in suspended animation. i think that, since the only organic parts the sets actually contained were an arm, a leg, and whatever is inside the torso, that it pretty much was a droid. other than the 808 armor and all the cerebrums (they are all good to me, don't care for the 808 cerebrum, though), i hated the rest of the sets. the 512 torso* is okay, i loved the color though. the red 505 had odd things on the back* and thighs. the armor sets without cerebrums were awful. one of the non-classics (non-cerebrals) even had naked, muscular thighs* and it was awful. the open heads were god awful as well. i really hope they will just fix up the 808 set's paint job and the other problems i previously stated. references, condensed in spoiled text: * http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/swtor-series-808-cybernetic-armor-trackers-bounty-pack_thumb.jpg * http://www.chemayla.net/uploads/2/4/3/7/24375215/1384277947.png * http://swtorista.com/uploads/outfitimages/c8f630.jpg * http://tor-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2013/09/17/series-512-cybernetic/Series512CyberneticFemaleClose.png * http://tor-fashion.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2014/02/04/series-510-cybernetic/Series-510-Cybernetic-Male-Close.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
