After taking part in what is starting to become this massive steal chain, I came up with a Zoid concept that is both original and somewhat official. Surprisingly enough, the idea received a lot of props, despite the idea being a mere side note. In my previous journal, which can be found here: [link] the subject was on Zoids (duh), and covering some of one's preferences and history.

Anyway, when I had to figure out what Zoid I would pilot, I had a hard time choosing (and not just choosing between one or two). As you all know, Mugen Liger's an immediate "hell yes" (look at my avatar and be awed by its awesomeness, newcomers!), but when it comes to practicality, Mugen's not exactly a good choice, as its sole weapons are all close range or melee.

Practically, I would probably be using an Energy Liger (the Hasbro/Guylos Black), and that on its own has more than enough firepower (with only two weapons, mind you!) to take down a small squad of foes by itself. With max speed of 412.8 mph (yes, I did the conversions, damnit), nuclear generators, and a wide range of customization and hard points available, I <3<3<3<3 it. However, since I'm not using the Fuzors version of it, E-Liger has a HUGE flaw. I don't know if it's common knowledge or not, but the Energy Liger has an operation time of exactly 5 minutes. Not exactly my idea of my personal mount. Also, the Imperial Liger also lacks (to an extent) melee capability, as most of its weapons or that type are realistically hard to use.

Now, I was just thinking on a tangent here, but what if I could throw Mugen Liger and Energy Liger together? It isn't that unrealistic, as I made 7 different E-Liger variants (a few of them required multiple Energy Ligers. Though I didn't take pictures of them, these are the configurations.

HAS, (Heavy Artillery System, featuring Death Stinger's CPC and tail weapons, Fire Phoenix's leg cannons among others, for long-range, devastation bombardments);
GBX, (GunblasterX, featuring, multiple E-Liger weapons, some of Gunblaster's Rolling Cannon armaments, among others, for long-range, suppressive fire/precision attacks);
KWX, (Konig WolfX, featuring E-Liger stripped of all armor, replaced with some of KW's armor and jump boosters, for max speed);
CU, (Commander Unit, basically a slightly heavier armored E-Liger without the horn and with Elephander's chest guns on);
CPX, (Chimera PhoenixX, featuring a fusion between E-Liger and virtually every BLOX component I had, for firefights);
RF, (Retro-Fitted, customizing the wing/stabilizers, armor, and mounting Flyscissor's X-Breakers on it, more like a personal unit);
Omega, (The only E-Liger variant never finished, featured Berserk Fuhrer's Buster Claws, HAS, GBX, RF, and CU units).

So I thought, if I could do that, why couldn't there be a mixture between Mugen and Energy Liger? At first, I merely thought of adding some of Mugen's armor and its katanas to E-Liger, but now that I read the comments from my previous journal, I feel like actually attempting a full merge between the two. Of course, I have to use either DoGA or Metasequoia, but I actually want to try to attempt this. This will be the first time since I have joined DA that I have tried working with pre-made, "official" designs, even though I'm fusing two of them. Well, wish me luck!
