#Vector turnaround

[multiisketch]

I've been told Vector is difficult to draw for Sonic artists. I figured this was because we've never really had an official turnaround. Well... I did my best! Enjoy! :)

Contessa & Khepri Puppet Turnarounds!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey all! I figure I should share what's been taking me so long to post about! I'm working on putting together some animation puppet rigs for Contessa & Khepri! I'm trying to animate a favorite scene of mine that involves them both! I'm sure you can figure out which one ;]

If you like, feel free to leave me suggestions/tweaks! These designs aren't super final, just some guidelines to follow as I go into vectoring in the artwork. Enjoy!

TF ONE:

That one cave scene after they see the betrayal first hand has me thinking.

Did Alpha trion just have bad judgement?????

Alpha trion ngl is a little double standard here tho I think in the movie. He truly was the key factor in how events unfolded.

Like his brothers and sister were murdered AND their planet is NOW under slavery as he seen from the gang's appearance so understandably he wants to kill sentinel.

That's why he was silent when Megs was all I WANNA KILL HIM.

He willingly chose to give megs a t-cog giving them all access to WEAPONS to achieve their perceived goal.

Even if they themselves didn't know their potential at the time.

Was that intentional by Alpha?????? I think yess totally. Who's best interest was prioritised tho.

In the beginning, Megs was alpha T's champion. Was this a reluctant decision I dk.

By the end of movie, Meg's DOES kill sentinel. He's achieved Alpha's objective.

But Orion accidentally being collateral gets him in the good graces of Alpha trion???? - becomes prime. If my train of thought is somewhat true, Like Alpha wanted to kill sentinel too, what do you meannn show mercy and you get prize. I can see why Megs would be pissed.

Did Megs feel he was fooled by Alpha?? Being fooled into loosing his best friend. Mabye that why he Soo angry?? Orion fr was too passive.

I wished his dialogue would have been more challenging to D-16's. That would have been great dialogue mabye, we would be able to see the push and pull CLEARLY between them. Their inner turmoils, their inner thoughts - What the stunned silence can't show us. does show how they feel but for the audience we don't benefit much other then seeing this as an OH shit Moment.

At the end of things, Alpha is winning out. Alpha is getting his main goal achieved, getting the trash out (sentinel) so his people can deal with the Quints (the bigger problem) instead.

What I'm trying to ask is How MUCH did Alpha know about the events of past and future in this universe. - as a prime he has powers but to what extent. Did he have his covenant???

Now Orion is his champion going into the future.

This brings into question their planetary war-like culture.

Alpha is no stranger to death and violence. As, it is already implied that the primes of old were battle trained. Their main way of dealing with things is through conflict. They are at war with the Quints.

Alpha saw them as a means to the end, it's just unfortunate that they will eventually bring the planet that alpha entrusted to them to ruins.

With the first gen of TFs being like that, does that mean that all other TFs that emerge from vector sigma or however their sparks are ignited later were made to have battle protocols inbedded to their programming????

Cause my one gripe with the movie is kinda they blurred the lines of violence.

I was like wth they suddenly have black belts in combat??????? SINCE when did they learn???

Self defense, okay... But still a weak answer.

Bee and elita have literally killed/ SHOT mech's DEAD. Orion has bashed the heads in of multiple officers or high guard. And yet he was like noooooo don't kill sentinel.

Guess hindsight really is a bitch to people huh, he made his stance too late. Beautifully TRAGIC.

It just seemed very shallow. Like killing lowly henchmen is OKaY but now it comes to a figurehead and be like NOoOOOOO don kill.

I don think Orion had a chance to clearly understand or see what Sentinel had physically done to Megs. (That permanent scar)

When I watched to movie, I was sooo confused honestly about the whiplash turnaround between them.

But now, I think I have a better understanding of Megs fr fr. OP being the dreamer just sadly couldn't dream for the both of them.😢😢

Sonic Quilford AU thing 5. Yes, we're still going.

When Amy was 8, she ran off from her parents while they were all on vacation to Never Lake, after getting into her uncle's tarot cards and predicting that she'd end up running into her true love. Yes, it would take a long amount of time, but they were destined to be. Though, she didn't understand why it would be a painful turnaround... (It's because Metamy is canon, and it's referring to Metal, not Sonic)

As inspired by this headcanon by @autisticshadowthehedgehog, Gerald ended up building a device to keep possibilities open in case the Black Arms ever ended up on Earth. It was later found by Team Chaotix, who decided to call it the "Black Arm Temporal Reset Button", or the BATRB for short. Whenever any of the many sensors around Westopolis or Central City(where City Escape takes place) detected something 75% Black Arm, it would activate the button, allowing a "reset" back to when it first sensed the DNA

Because of their usage of the BATRB, Team Chaotix are aware something was altered in relation to Sonic's vacation in Soleanna around his 15th Birthday, but they're not sure what

Rather than what happen in canon, the Time Eater held Volcanic Vault, Star Light, Mystic Cave, Good Future!Tidal Tempest, Sandopolis, Twinkle Park, Green Forest, Hang Castle, the original Egg Carrier, White Acropolis, Arid Sands, and Starlight Carnival in Non Existence(the white void. It's also where Solaris stayed before he was dragged back into existence). Combining with this, Ray, Mighty, Big and Omega were dragged in as well. Ray, as the first person to become Sonic's friend, is in Volcanic Vault from Segasonic(as that's the first adventure in my timeline). Mighty's in Star Light Zone, bumping Tails and Amy to join Knuckles in matching Zone with what game they debuted in. Big was just around, fishing. Omega was in the Egg Carrier, joining the rest of the E Series(Zero, who's going to CORRECTLY be called Alpha, Beta, Gamma(who is our Gamma, he just can't stop himself), Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta) in a "boss fight". Shadow's Rival Battle also gets a change in scenery, with it taking place in ShTH's GUN Fortress rather than in Final Chase. Silver's and Metal's still take place in Crisis City and Bad Future!Stardust Speedway though

Espio, due to ninja training, got used to blood/gore/death by age 8. However, after starting the Chaotix Detective Agency with Vector and Charmy, and to the shock/humiliation of his older siblings(Mirra(Boy, 2 years older), and Faceta(Girl, 2 years older)), he started weening off this, learning how to open his heart again. This all came to a head when the Metal Virus happened, when Espio fully learned how death was supposed to feel. Going back to his training, he beat up Zazz to the point where the insane Zeti felt fear for the 2nd time in his life from all the blood coating the chameleon's kunai and shurikens. No matter how much Zeena and Zomnom mock Zazz for considering Espio terrifying, he never buckles in his opinion. Who would after being ambushed by a cloth-covered, furious specter of death that walks among the people of the ground

Sonic does have counterparts in both "1001 Arabian Nights" and "King Arthur and the Knights of The Round Table", being Uhu the Wind Djinn and the real Arthur Penquilon(whom Merlin(Eggman) never wanted in charge, due to his odd nature)

Sonic's bilingual, as he knows a fair amount of Spanish, thanks to two of the caretakers at the Christmas Island Orphanage. Due to this, Sonic consistently liters what he says with Spanish, to the point that Tails and Amy have picked it up, along with his therapist(his Red Two-Tone Neutral Fly/Fly Chao, Nightgown)

How to Select a Recombinant Protein Expression Service That Delivers Results

As a molecular biologist tackling complex protein studies, I know firsthand how critical it is to select the right Recombinant Protein Expression Service. A misstep in this decision can waste weeks or even months of precious time, not to mention the financial and academic costs. That’s why I’m sharing my journey—how I made this choice, what lessons I learned, and how I ultimately partnered with Lytic Solutions, LLC, a name I now trust and recommend for fellow researchers.

My Research Needs: A Starting Point

I was working on a project focused on signaling pathways in cancer biology. Specifically, I needed high-quality recombinant proteins for downstream applications like pull-down assays, crystallography, and enzyme kinetics. Because these experiments are unforgiving when it comes to protein purity and activity, I needed a service that could deliver both quality and customization.

Initially, I thought I could handle expression in-house using our lab’s E. coli system. But after repeated issues with solubility and batch-to-batch variability, I knew it was time to outsource to a professional Recombinant Protein Expression Service.

Step 1: Clearly Defining My Criteria

Before contacting any vendors, I sat down and mapped out what I needed. This included:

Expression system compatibility (E. coli, yeast, insect, or mammalian)

Post-translational modification capability

Scale of production (mg to gram quantities)

Purity requirements (>95%)

Turnaround time

IP protection and confidentiality

Customization and support

Having this list helped me filter services that matched my technical requirements. It’s something I recommend every researcher do. It saves time and ensures your vendor conversations are focused.

Step 2: Deep Dive into Reputation and Expertise

I didn’t want just a generic CRO. I needed experts who specialize in Recombinant Protein Expression Service. My initial shortlist included five companies. I read reviews, peer forums, and even dug through acknowledgments in published papers to see who others in the field were using.

That’s when I came across Lytic Solutions, LLC. I noticed their name appeared in a few reputable journal acknowledgments, especially in cancer biology research. That was my first sign they might be a good fit.

Step 3: Reviewing Case Studies and Portfolios

A trustworthy service will be transparent about their past work. When I visited the Lytic Solutions, LLC website, I was impressed with their technical documentation. They showcased case studies involving hard-to-express proteins, complex post-translational modifications, and scalable production for both academia and biotech.

I particularly appreciated their emphasis on collaborative communication, a point that turned out to be a game changer later in my project.

Step 4: Assessing Customization and Support

Some companies offer fixed expression packages, but my project required flexibility—construct design, codon optimization, and affinity tag selection. When I reached out to Lytic Solutions, LLC, they responded within 24 hours with a detailed questionnaire tailored to my project. Then came a Zoom call with their technical director.

This wasn’t a sales pitch—it was a deep dive into my goals, challenges, and deadlines. They even reviewed my existing constructs to advise on optimization, at no extra charge. That level of support was unique compared to other services I contacted.

Step 5: Understanding Cost vs. Value

Let’s be honest: budget matters. But I’ve learned not to make decisions solely based on cost. One provider offered rock-bottom pricing, but they had no mammalian expression capability and minimal QC transparency. Another quoted double the average market rate, offering no apparent added value.

Lytic Solutions, LLC fell right in the middle. Their pricing was transparent and broken down by milestone: gene synthesis, vector construction, expression trials, scale-up, and purification. They also included optional add-ons like endotoxin testing and biophysical characterization.

I appreciated that there were no hidden costs and I could scale the service based on my available funding.

Step 6: Running a Pilot Before Full Commitment

Before committing to a large-scale production, I ran a pilot expression and purification with Lytic Solutions. This is something I strongly recommend: test your provider with a smaller project first.

The pilot included expression in E. coli and HEK293 systems. Not only did they provide detailed SDS-PAGE and Western blot reports, but they also delivered side-by-side activity assay results comparing both systems. That level of transparency gave me full confidence to proceed with the full batch.

Step 7: Post-Delivery Support and Communication

Some services vanish once the job is done. Lytic Solutions didn’t. After delivery, they followed up with usage recommendations, storage tips, and even scheduled a feedback session. When I ran into issues with protein stability at 4°C, they provided buffer modification suggestions and even offered to run a stability test themselves—no charge.

Their communication was stellar throughout. I was assigned a project lead, which made everything more efficient and personal.

Lessons Learned

If you’re seeking the best Recombinant Protein Expression Service, here are my key takeaways:

Define your exact needs – Know your target protein’s requirements before shopping for a vendor.

Research reputations – Look for published work, academic references, and case studies.

Customize, don’t compromise – Choose a partner who adapts to your goals, not a one-size-fits-all service.

Pilot first – Always test with a small-scale run to evaluate quality and communication.

Value support – Post-project assistance can be a lifesaver when something goes wrong in your downstream steps.

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right Recombinant Protein Expression Service has been one of the most impactful decisions in my research career. With the wrong partner, you risk unreliable data and wasted time. With the right one, like I found in Lytic Solutions, LLC, you gain a long-term collaborator who elevates your science.

If you’re ready to take your research to the next level, do your homework, run that pilot, and don’t settle. Trust your instincts—but verify with data and support. That’s what led me to success, and it can do the same for you.
