Dragon Day

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Just sort of felt like sharing.

As I said on PMO last night, I'm in sort of a "henshin"/Sentai mood lately, which might be part of why my curiousity of MegaMan Star Force has risen. Mainly for the Dragon version, though.

I'm not exactly chomping at the bit for it, though. For starters, I need to finish BN5 DS, then see about playing 6 somehow. THANKS FOR THE DS RELEASE, CAPCOM.

Sheesh.

Don't read too much into it as an endorsement, though, I probably won't get it until the price comes down unless a) I get to play it and really like it, b) someone convinces me to get it/money's not that big of an issue(HA! HA! HA!), or c) someone gets fed up with it and gives me their copy (it happens).

But all the same, I'm more interested now than I have been since the damn thing was announced.

So, anyway, for the hell of it, I decided to replace the Black Draco avatar on MMN for the time being with the following:



You can see the full-size version here.

Looks alright, I guess. I'd hoped to make the colors sort of have a similar look of saturation, but I guess it sort of works in a background-focus/foreground-focus kind of way. Might think about redoing it without all the energy, and make MegaMan bigger.

Was also going to have the two dragon symbols in opposite corners, top left and bottom right, but with the empty space going on at the top right, I just decided to work with that.

Sort of a side-note, I know at least one person who thinks that I like dragons because of Red, but that's really not true. I won't say she didn't add anything to my interest, but I was digging them long before. TransMetal 2 Megatron was coolness, and before that of course, I think Dragonzord, Red Dragon Thunderzord, and Serpentera were what really fueled it.

Before that, there was the awesome Warrior Dragon from Archie's TMNT Adventures (not to mention Dragon Lord, a fave villain from Next Mutation), and before that, my favorite Zelda bosses were Gleeok and Aquamentus; the latter because for some reason, "first" bosses seem sort of neat to me, and the former because he WOULD KICK YOUR ASS. A four-headed Gleeok would kick your ass so hard.

And I guess if you wanted to count him, there's always Bowser, too...

So, yeah. Dragons tend to kick ass. My only complaint is how their use tends to err towards being evil more often than good. Especially in TransFormers, though I'd say Scourge/Flame Convoy turned that around nicely in Cybertron. I always thought a dragon Optimus would rock, and this is sort of close... Really wish I'd gotten ahold of his figure, though. At least I have the small Legends of Cybertron figure.

That is the most awesome Dragonzord picture ever.

ya know, it seems everyone I know (Me included) Seems only intrested in the Dragon Version.

Ive seen like one guy who wanted Pegasus instead.

Well I always pick the color green, but hmm.

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

I think Red's more into the Pegasus one, ironically.

Reptiles in general tend to get maligned as evil characters. I figured it had to be an Adam and Eve thing, what with the serpent and apple and all. Not the snake's fault that humans gave in to temptation. XD

Either that or the annual "Crocodile eat man's arm after provoking him!" news story. But what are you doing messing around with crocs anyway? :P

Dragons are revered in the East, they are mythical beasts to slay in the West. Go figure.

MMSF Dragon itself is a pretty cool form, and the green menus are nice to the eyes.
And remember that you won't have to miss out on the other forms if you get two more brothers with the other versions.

Part of what gets me there, though, is that it looks like Geo/Subaru looks like he talks to the avatar of the form he takes in the respective versions. Do you get that at all when brother-sharing?

Not quite sure what you mean, but you can edit your own avatar for the Trancer profile. This avatar is part of the brother data you share with others.
You'll see these avatars wherever necessary, but the story dialogues aren't affected by them.

No, I mean it looked like in the trailer for Dragon, Geo was talking to that dragon admin.

So say I have that version, and I'm getting Leo from someone else, do I get to talk to their admin? Or do they all say the same thing?

--LBD "Nytetrayn"

[igosplashman.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. That's a single event in the whole story, you only talk to the respective admin of your own version once.

[lbd-nytetrayn.livejournal.com]

Is there anything unique besides the visual there?

awesome collage. I like the official art piece of the dragon cybeast out of the three.
