Topic: Official RPM Maverick Design Thread

[Protoman Blues]

WARNING!  WARNING!

LoL, it was bound to happen.  Anyway, pretty much the same as the Robot Master Design Thread.  As we've stated before, we all have created our own Mavericks in the past.  In fact, some of us have created the EXACT SAME MAVERICK that Capcom totally stole out of their sexcellent brain!  Now here is your chance to show them off to the populace of RPM. 

The same rules apply to this thread as the Robot Master thread.  Above all else, have fun with this, just like before.  Feel free to link your previous ideas to this thread as well if you've created them in your own art topic!

I remember creating my own intro boss yeaaaaaaars ago.
It doesn't exist on paper anymore but I still have it in my head.

I'll try and sketch something.

[Protoman Blues]

Awesome.  I have some more ideas in my head for Maverick.  I'll have to post them!

[Acid]

You should sketch them too.

[VixyNyan]

You should sketch them too.

Yea, you should sketch your ideas for once, PB.
It doesn't matter if you "think" it will suck.
We will still appreciate them. ^.^

[Acid]

Exactly.

Besides, that might be helpful if I even need something to draw.

[Protoman Blues]

The only ones I ever sketched were Web Spider and Razorwave Shark.  I lost the drawings though, sadly!  LoL, so technically I have no proof that I created Web Spider first.

Actually, I'd have no problem sketching these, for the most part.  It's only people I can't draw.  My Maverick and RM sketches came out pretty decently when I was younger.

[Acid]

Then DO it.

You know what they say, a picture says more than 1000 words.

[Protoman Blues]

Now that I'm on break, I plan too.  I'll probably do my RM sketches first before re-drawing Razorwave Shark (even though their was a shark, dagnabbit!)

There he is!

[Protoman Blues]

There he is!

Bad-ass!  Totally bad-ass!

[VixyNyan]

Frost Piranha

Maybe you'd like to sketch it for us? o.o
But then again, we could just imagine it in our heads, since it's ice element and all.

[Jericho]

There he is!

So I take it this is one of those too big for the whole screen type of intro bosses? Either way, kick ass work as usual.

He should still draw it. Everybody here should draw more.

[Flame]

yeah. I think I will... I had it on paper, but no longer. I might want to re- make him...
his weapon is Ice Guillotine.

[Flok]

That piece of art looks pretty good!

Anyway, I am not that good coming up with Mavericks. They are harder to create than Robot Masters for me. I did create 8 fan Mavericks in the past for an old fan fiction though, but now that I look at them, they sound pretty sucky nowadays.

Sanstorm Camelflouge (Camel)

This is by far the best named one! 

[Satoryu]

i thought some of the other ones were wittier. i'm more proud of the ones that reference bands. there are a couple anime references in there that i was proud of.

[Protoman Blues]

Yeah, I saw some of those as well.  But Sandstorm Camelflage is fantastic!

[Quickman]

I have several that were named, only two ever got designs, though.  A large number of 'em were jokes, too.

Mavericks I Designed (need to find the pics, though):

Dusk Raven
General Cutlass Cricket:

ZOMG General Grievous rip-off! 

That was originally my intention as I just needed a quick Maverick for a story I was writing.  Then I decided to actually develope him a bit more.  But underneath it all, he's still a Grievous rip-off.

Mavericks I Plan to Further Design:

Charred Orchid
Sewer Skunk
Horny Snail
Lightning Badger

Joke Mavericks:

Fusion Minnow
Plasma Phytoplankton
Acid Maggot
Bludgeon Okra
Cut Cheese

I'm gonna go hunt down Cutlass Cricket's design.  I have his backstory, but it's not typed and I missplaced the notebook I have it written in.  As for Dusk Raven, I just need to redesign her as I'm not sure if I still have her designs around anymore.

[Protoman Blues]

Yes, please go find Cutlass Crickets' background story, as he looks bonafide bad-ass!

[Quickman]

Found it!  Now to type...

Name: General Cutlass Cricket
Type: Maverick bioroid
Height: 6'7"
Weight: 210 lbs
Weapon of choice: Swords and sabres.  Often dual-wields.
Quote: "You are out-classed, kid."

Biography:  General Cutlass Cricket was the self-appointed leader of the Deliveration Army, a group of Mavericks that had surfaced after the defeat of Sigma.  The Deliveration Army touts itself as a liberation organization for bioroids, promising to "deliver" the bioroids to freedom from Reploid oppression.  However, the terrorist group attacked Reploid businesses and political figureheads with suicide bombers, spies, assassins, and slander against the Maverick Hunters.

Cutlass Cricket was a cold, calculating assassin and was recently infected with the Zero Virus.  Prior to infection, Cricket was a stealth swordsman for the Reploid Army Special Forces (RASF).  He had great knowledge of the Zero Virus was able to "smell" it, tracking down infected bioroids to "recruit" into the Deliveration Army.  He had tremendous leadership abilities from his tenure with the RASF and a manipulative, persuasive manner of speaking.  Cricket gained support from many Mavericks and bioroids alike for his liberation promises.  Being a talented blackhat hacker, Cricket was able to obtain whatever information he needed to bring down the Maverick Hunters and the RASF.

Cutlass Cricket was a skilled swordfighter.  He preferred a cold, steel blade over a clunky blaster and even had himself refitted to remove his Buster.  Though, if needed, Cricket will use a blaster and was a dead-eye marksman.  His lanky insectoid frame granted him top-notch agility.  He was rarely seen without at least two guards.

Cutlass Cricket made a point to be invisible to the media as he doesn't need the attention.  He had, however, made appearences at several bioroid liberation rallies and gained support through them.  He had legal immunity in those rallies and he knew to never abuse that right and tended to make his appearence brief.  Cricket kept out of sight and under the Maverick Hunter radar.  His cunning and RASF training had made him one of the most notorious Mavericks to ever grace the bounty postings.

Power and Abilities:  General Cutlass Cricket was a ruthless leader and expert swordsman.  Due to his RASF training, Cricket was a natural in the battlefield.  He was stealthy and cunning, able to appear unnoticed in a government office and vanish in the wave of destruction he left behind. 

Cutlass Cricket preferred his swords over blasters and often dual-wielded.  Very athletic and agile, Cricket was able to hold his own against multiple opponents at once.  A stealthy adversary, Cricket was not one to rush out in battle.  He preferred to let his guards and followers do the fighting for him, stepping in only when he felt the time was right.

When using a blaster, Cutlass Cricket was a deadly opponent.  He was an expert sniper and would melee with the weapon in close-range combat.  He preferred swords and melee weapons over blasters as they are more versatile and "alot messier."

Yeah, alotta Star Wars references and influences in there.  I tended to liken the Maverick Hunters to a paramilitary bounty hunter guild anyways.
