This is really creepy. I didn't post this, but everything you just said was what I was going to post, but I changed my mind. The creepy part is that it's the same word choice also. I had the same idea as you for that, so I guess we can move on now to the quadropeds because we had the same idea and there is nothing to change about it.

I think quads would be suited to a heavy knight/gladiator type fighting style style and maybe each dino could give him different weapons instead. Like maybe

Stego- broadsword
Tricera- shield
Brachio- lance maybe
Anky- earth powered hammer.

The quads can use a gauntlet system for the armor
Tricera-gauntlets with 3 "horns" on each one
Stego-guantlets with stego themed shields on each one that he can put together to form a larger shield (think of OOO Burakawani combo with the turtle shell shield)
Brachio-I was thinking maybe he could get the power to stretch his limbs??
Ankylo-a mace/hammer attached to his gauntlets that he can use to create small earthquakes with

Thero form already had grapple type weaponry . I think it better to give this form actual held weapons just to be different and because its cooler. Not to mention this form would probably have trouble getting close enough to attack since quads are mostly heavy creatures that aren't exactly known for their speed.

The power ups should be armor or add-ons not hand held weapons. The weapons are something we'll discuss later and they'll be unrelated to his forms and won't be power ups so he can use them regardless of what form

So like Drive ( funny because I recall making a shift car comparison to one of your earlier post)

Then again its kinda redundant to use held weapons when your armor could already work as one

Think of the power ups as Drive's tires and the real weapons as the Handle Ken or Door Ju.

Well I just noticed Drive is the only multi form rider whos basic forms don't have a signature weapon that's not built into the suit.

I don't think its good to make his power ups work too similarly to Drive so let's wait for the others opinion first.

Not to mention Paleo's base form would probably end up being red and black with a fire based power up lol

Well, I just think physical heavy melee weapons would be more interesting and distinguish Quadro form from the "additional plating" theme of the first form. We don't actually HAVE to give Paleo any overarching weapons. Agito just had form-unique weapons, you know. Thero form could just be quick-rough-and-rumble combat based without any weaponry aside from Spino's arm blades.
As I visualize it, Quadro form should be built like a tank anyway. It would already have enough armor as it is. On top of that, I think the dinosaurs chosen lend themselves to individual armaments super well, too. I'm sort of with Yuu on this.

-Tricera: Spiked Shield.
-Stego: Plated Broadsword (Like this thing, but you know. Not a beam weapon: http://www.scale-mania.it/images/Gun...cale-Mania.jpg)
-Brachio: Jousting Lance.
-Ankylo: Mace/Hammer that creates earthquakes.

Keeping in the same format of Thero form: I have no idea how it would work or how the weapons would be designed in such a way for this to be possible, but maybe for the finisher, they all combine into a single giant weapon and he plows through the monster with it. Perhaps we can come up with a few sketches?

I really think the weapons should be attached to gauntlets. The shield would work perfectly on the gauntlets. Think of Kyoryu Red Carnival. Stegosaurus and sword don't go together. The spikes on a stegosaurus look like axes, so an axe weapon would be best. Let's see what others have to say. Do you guys want weapons separate or part of armor or gauntlets?

I'm all for hand held weapons that just seems like a natural "Evolution" of the powers

I think having the quadropeds be body weaponry would work since most plant eating quadropeds have very defensive looking bodies.

Handheld Weapons - 3
Body/Attached Weapons - 2

We'll keep on counting votes until the end of the day.

Honestly? I think a mixture of both would suffice. Different form=different weapon=different possibility.

That's what I thought too. I didn't mean Quadro to have a different weapon per dino, just at least 1 handheld one to define it from the other forms. And so that aqua form wouldn't be too useless outside water by being a long range specialist.

So maybe

Tricera - horned shield gauntlets
Stego - either a 13 bladed bea- I mean broadsword or spiked armor for tackling
Brachio- either a heavy boots that cause earthquakes or extending arms
Anky- either a club/hammer or spiked armor for tackling

Suggestion for the herbivore forms weapons:
Tricera: triceratops skull-like shield
Brachio: a lance with stretching ability (whip-lance?)
Stego: A cross between a broadsword and a saw ( kinda like kr bravo's duri noko, but bigger and just one)
Ankylo: The elemental form, has a warhammer with which Paleo can create earth tremors, control rocks and have some low degree of gravity manipulation.
Also, for those who want megalodon between the aquatic power change creatures, I'd like to remind that this giant shark, despite being an awesome animal, isn't from the mesozoic period ( the dinosaur era) but from the tertiary, millions of years after the last dinosaur walked on Earth. Of course, if y'all want it, I'll agree, but it's strange to think of an amber with DNA from creatures of so different epochs.

We'll get to Megalodon soon, so hold on for that.

Tricera - Horned shields that are attached to gauntlets
Stego - Axes
Brachio - Lance/Spear/Javelin
Ankylo - Hammer/Mace that can cause earthquakes

Aren't like three people on board with a Stego Sword? Can you explain exactly why you don't like that idea? You said you didn't think of Stegosaurus being represented with a sword Helios, but did you look at that Crossbone Gundam Full Cloth picture? I think it works rather well. I guess axes work too, but I'd just like to hear a better argument for why they'd be so much better.

Also, I just have to ask. Functionally, what is the difference between twin shields attached to gauntlets... And just normal twin shields? Seems to me like if they're separate, they'd be more versatile.
If they're separate like... Actually ALL of the other Quadro form power-ups you listed, as I brought earlier, the finisher could be some kind of combined buster weapon. I think conceptually that could make some kind of awesome roleplay toy. It would also reflect Thero's finisher in some way. Different, but under the same principle.

For me, personally, when I think of a Stego related weapon I think of a spiked club or mace. But when you want to use the pentagonal plates on its back as inspiration for the sword, I see it. And part of me wants to make the sword handle a bit longer so you can put a few spikes on the pommel and not interfere with his grip or swing.... just my personal opinion as a weapon designer.... '>__>

I was just thinking of spike plates that go on his arms and across his shoulders.
kinda like Abarablue's spikes, but stego-plates and stuff on his back.

I can imagine him having a lot of spin moves.

I thought it could be a compromise because I could my gauntlet weapon and you could get your handheld weapons. A person's forearms are pretty versatile, so that shield will have the same movements as your arm. For the stegosaurus thing, the blades on its back look like axes.

I figured it would be nice if Paleo's forms used their power ups in different ways like Thero uses them to power up his own body since their is a grappling oriented form whose finisher uses all them at once to power up a single attack.

while Quadro uses them as weapons to complement it's heavy knight- like build. And his finisher combines them into a powerful weapon.

*fistbump*

Exactly. This exactly.

If the only basis for your suggestion is just because "they sort of look like axes," then that's exactly the kind of weak argument I was talking about. Because a sword like like THIS:

http://www.scale-mania.it/images/Gun...cale-Mania.jpg

...Looks a heck of a lot like Stegosaurus blades to me.

I like your idea. We could do the stego sword thing Rollout, but only if the end of the grip has a small weight with spikes to represent a stegosaurus' tail which is spiked itself.

Yay! My idea got recognized! :lolol

Tbh, the Crossbone Gundam sword looks more like an ankylosaurus than a stegosaurus. No offense.

What's this about Thagomizers?

Nani?

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images.../6CpLfLE_.jpeg
And it gained popularity among paleontologists to the point it's the official name for the tail weapons of Stegosaurs and Ankylosaurs.

Thagomizer. That's a fun word to say. Tha-go-mi-zer.

Oh. That was the point of adding the spikes to the pommel of the sword...

XD I love it and everyone is happy

honestly, something more like this
http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2.../Weapon390.png
would work better as a stegosaurus mased weapon than the Muramasa Blaster.

Sounds like a sentai henshin device

I wouldn't mind that, either.

would it be weird to have the belt make chants kinda like OOO's or Jago's theme from Killer Instinct?

Sure but it would be better if we straighten it a little and make the spikes bigger just to make the combining gimmick easier

I was imagining the henshin/standby jingle having lots of bassy drums and chants to it. Although, would we even need to speculate on the sound design, given that this Rider would basically exist in visuals and text? I dunno.

Yuu! You're talented. You should do some kind of sketch up of this combined weapon idea to give the others some kind of visual.
