I finally found motivation as midterms are over and I'm still struggling with part 1 lineart of Mechanical Madness with trying to make it look neat and tidy for the other 2 pages.

Because I'm still trying to figure out what works best for me, expect the coloring and shading on part 2 to look different. It will be longer by possibly double the amount with trivia about it at the end of this chapter.

Despite Daikaiju Tokusatsu being an inspiration for the fights, none of the wacky Showa Era(1930 to 1981) antics will be here other than somewhat extreme violence.

There won't be any muppet puppet faces, wacky physics(insert the Godzilla drop kick from Godzilla vs Megalon and Gamera the giant, acrobatic, flying turtle that breathes fire from Gamera vs Guiron), abilities that make you think that the directors were smoking bongs(insert the entire Showa Gamera monster gallery) or teabagging each other during fights.

Once again, I'm sorry and worried about the tonal whiplash in comparing this to MM.

Speeda Demon: Hey look,  boss is getting all romantic with the purple fire candles and the weird symbols.

Black Phantom, trying to get Von Nebula to come over: First of all, I'm summoning an otherworldly being-

———

Thresher: How do you feel about children?

Von Ness: They're okay, I guess. I mean, if I saw one I wouldn't throw rocks at them.

Stormer: Why...Why would you throw rocks at children?

Von Ness: I just said that I wouldn't, well, unless they get too annoying, then those little sh-ts got to go.

Meltdown: You know what they say, you can lead a horse to water-

Thunder, nodding: But you can't drink the horse.

———

Zib: Let's get down to business...

Furno: TO DEFEAT, THE HUNS.

———

XPlode, motioning to Rotor, who was picking up stolen military equipment: We didn't come here to be liked.

Furno: Then you came to the right place, you f-cking pr-cks.

———

Probably connected to previous quote.

XPlode: Unfortunately for everyone, I will keep doing whatever I want.

———

Dark Creator: There's a fine line between genius and insanity. I have erased this line.

———

Voltix, to Core Hunter: I thought that was common sense! You don't take off the appendages of small children.

Core Hunter: *shrugs*

———

Von Nebula: Shame you don't respect my feelings on the matter.

Furno: You don't HAVE feelings!

———

Core Hunter: Dear diary, my teen angst bullsh-t has a body count.

———

Vapour, about the Dark Creator: Did he even hear my opinion on not wanting to be cloned or having my cloned body parts to be stitched to another one of his f-cked up creations like the Frankenstein's monster?

Black Phantom: It's not that he can't hear you, it's that he doesn't have a soul.

———

Von Nebula: We have important matters to discuss.

Thunder: Okay, but in my defense, XPlode bet me 50 cents to drink all that shampoo.

Von Nebula, face palming and muttering under his breath: Of coarse he f-cking would.

———

Inspired by the discord chat.

Siren: So, what's for dinner.

Furno, looking at the smoldering remains of food in the oven: Regret.

Here are the videos on what I said earlier about wacky antics.

Trivia for part 2 of Mechanical Madness:

Thornraxx was to appear and fight Stormer.

Thresher was going to be getting in on the action and fight Vapour as an homage to the scrapped and revamped set in 2010.

Core Hunter and Black Phantom were supposed to have a visible wanted posters in the first page.

And...that's it.

Other stuff

Here's a design concept of Von Nebula since he's getting yet another redesign.

Here's some concept art of the secret weapon aka the Mother Legion reference.

Goodbye folks.
