Aaaaa AAAAAAaaaaaaaAaAaaAaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADZHSHXJSJHXJSHSBXHSHHXBZHSHSH🥺🥺💞💞💞💞💞💞
Sinstar: You're not gonna get away with this.
Kcb: What!
Sinstar: You're not gonna get away-
Kcb:WHAT!
Sinstar:...
Kcb:what!
Sinstar: YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET AWAY WITH THIS!
Kcb: Oh I thank you, sinstar i worked hard on it
Sinstar: 'demonic screaming'
Omfg i just remeberd this one scene from Invader Zim but with KCB and Sinistar.
Sinistar: "TURBO!"
Kcb: "WHAT?"
Sinistar:"TURBO!"
Kcb:"WHAT?"
Sinistar:"TURBO!"
Kcb:"WHAT?"
Sinistar:"Oh nevermind!" *Jumps him*
I'm calling it now...sinstar is gonna end up turtled because there's too many weapons on his back... Based on the fanfic called Kill Switch by @king-candybug-backup ... Get screwed by your own actions, cybug!
i got over it while working on this... It's an idea everyone can share it... And I thought it would be funny
A gift for @king-candybug-backup and their WIP but already amazing fic called Kill Switch! This is my personal interpretation of the Sinistar antagonist who appears in it, which is why I've put this beneath a spoiler if you haven't read Kill Switch yet. :)
Some notes about the design!
Like some other fan-art pieces I saw, I chose not to incorporate the mishmash of weaponry Cy-Sinistar has added on to himself, as it would have been too complicated to fit into the bodyplan.
The arm blades and wings are fully retractable and made of hard-light.
The blocky, purple cerci were inspired from the purple pixels that blast off into space when Sinistar catches up to the player's ship and bites it to dust!
Each of Cynistar's walking limbs contains a built-in rocket booster. Cynistar can achieve VTOL either through the use of it's cybug wings or the four booster jets, but it's limbs are much heavier and more sluggish due to the added machinery.
When grounded, Cynistar is slightly slower than the average cybug when running and not well-suited to evasive maneuvers, but is hard to push around due to his increased weight and low center of mass. Kind of Ankylosaurus-esque.
Very snapping turtle-like mouth, but with his face being as flat as it is he doesn't have much reach when biting. Relatively easy to avoid getting chomped if you don't allow him to get in range, but the pressure his jaws can put out is devastating.
Much less whip-like when compared to KCB, and not capable of turning on a dime or tightly coiling up his body like KCB can.
Lacks graspers entirely (Sinistar never had thumb privileges) so is forced to perform pins with the ends of his limbs or pure body mass.
Not good at quick recovery from being turned turtle. The boosters can be rotated such to topple him back right-side-up with controlled thrust, but that process takes some time and luck depending on how accommodating the geometry of the terrain he landed on is.
Yes, he screams. Loudly. After all, he IS SINISTAR, AND BEWARE, HE LIVES!
primary inspirations include Porcellio laevis (smooth isopod, the kind that can't curl up on itself), Ankylosaurus (mass distribution and armor plating), tarantulas (gait), Cybugs (basic body plan and limb distribution), and naturally Sinistar himself (color scheme, head design, plate exterior).
