[X] Plan: Double Trouble
-[X] Double Shield: An E-2000 variant equipped with 2 shields making it much harder to destroy. 20 Points.
-[X] Double Gun: The offensive counterpart to the Double Shield the Double Gun has two gatling guns that can make mincemeat of any foe that fight its at range. 20 Points.
-[X] E-2000R: A flat out improved version of the standard E-2000… it is significantly more expensive to compensate however. 20 Points.
-[X] Light Drive: You have studied the Ancient Light and have found a way to replicate its abilities in mecha Sonic: 20 Points.
-[X] Advanced Scanner: Mecha Sonics situational awareness is… spotty at the best of the time an improvement to its scanning systems should improve that. 20 Points.
First off you build the E-2000 variants, having already constructed the base model to use as a reference point earlier.
The E2000R is a flat out improvement being basically the base model with a slightly stronger shield, better reaction time, and slightly more powerful laser cannon, not really much to say other than that and its increased cost.
Double Shield flat out numbers the laser cannon but has far more durable armor than even the E2000R and is significantly stronger physically as well. It won't stand up to the likes of Knuckles or Alpha for long but the fact that it can do so in the first place says a lot.
Double Gun on the other hand is all offense replacing the laser cannon and shield with two powerful gatling guns capable of unleashing a hail of lead. This variant is also faster than others and has a camera on its back letting it back away from enemies trying to close in without fear of smashing into something else.
….. Of course thats only a fraction of your focus.
The rest of it goes into improving Mecha Sonic.
An improvement to the scanner is a must, Mecha Sonic was already smarter than most other machines of its kind, and was even smarter than Metal Sonic had been when we was first created… most notably lacking Metals Sonics early bad habit of smashing into force fields face first after being beaten in a race. No what this second Mecha Sonic needs is a little more awareness to make better use of that intelligence… though you must confess to wondering about the original model.
…. It probably won't come up.
Now the second addition is the Light Drive. Currently it will allow Mecha Sonic to store up a 'lightspeed dash' letting him dash forward at speeds even Sonic and his speeds would have trouble keeping up with… well unless they too have a lightspeed dash charged up. Regardless this dash ability is also inexplicably able to follow ring trails, a minor bonus but an interesting one all the same.
What really matters is the chance for expansion, the energy used in the light speed dash is very flexible in nature and could be taken in many ways…. you 've already got some blueprints for a theoretical hard light projector for instance.
XXXXX
This time the imposter requests that you work on some more Egg Pawn variants.
…. It has been a long time since you've done that.
Still better to do it and keep suspicion off of you.
What do you do next?
[] One of Metal Series, Silver Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Mecha Knuckles, Metal Knuckles, or even the
prototype any one of these machines could be a potent force if brought up to spec.
[] Past Badniks the good doctor has created a wide variety of machines in the past, perhaps bringing one of these older machines up to date could be of aid to your creator.
[ ] Much as you loath the imposter... you'd better work on the E-2000s.
[] Current Badniks your creator really is looking to remodle soon and it shows, the line up of active Badniks is fairly small, but you could improve them to get more quality even with the smaller numbers. (Upgrade one of the Sonic Adventure 1 Era Badniks).
[] A new Badnik you do not know how long anything you produce will last, but your current goal is merely to make your creators forces stronger for the next fight, a new machine type should be a decent hold over until the doctor initiates his overhaul.
[] The idea of other airships intrigues you... you should design some more.
[] A powerhouse, instead of updating an old machine or producing a new lesser robot template a more powerful machine may be needed to aid your creators plans.
[] All armies need their infrastructure, you should put some work into the topic.
[] You should look more into that Chao.
[] Water Ships…. Ships for the Egg Navy. (If you want to skip a step you can suggest a ship type.
Additionally you can plot against the usurper on the side. How do you start?
[ ] Make a powerful individual killer robot.
[ ] Begin building your forces, you will destroy this usurper. (Choose from humanoid model research or vehicle research).
[ ] Establish a blacksite far away from their eyes.
[ ] Investigate the imposters nature.
[ ] Investigate the location of the true Eggman.
