HOOH BOY

i’ve been working tirelessly on this design and getting the ref out..holy shit. and, as per usual I have notes...its still a bit of a wip since i just came up with this idea a few nights ago but here’s what i got (:

here’s my regular meta’s ref for some context 😳

OH WHILE YOU’RE HERE CHECK OUT THIS FUCKING AWESOME PIECE OF THE LITTLE SHIT...ABSOLUTELY STUNNING 💙

so you may be wondering..what the hell happened here?

well

let me explain

you know how absurdly quick meta got rid of all his robot shit to go help kirby? well he had to have missed something..yeah? in this au of mine, instead of just the control mask, susie had some sort of implant that he didn’t have time to dig out so he could go help kirby in time and..as star dream died, it attached itself to the only other piece of haltmann tech that it could still inhabit..and it just so happened to be the the implant meta didn’t have time to dig out..........chaos ensues (:

so for some more general notes!

-clockwork isn’t star dream or meta...its more of like a fusion of the two. it has meta’s desire for power and his “secret wild streak” (thanks star allies) fused with star dream’s agenda to wipe out/robotise all organic life...a pretty fucking deadly combination if you ask me

-the result is a scarily smart and charming, slimy motherfucker who has way too much power and intelligence for its own good.

-dont make jokes about its height or face. will not hesitate to kill

-you do NOT want to mess with clockwork considering it possesses a good chunk of star dream’s god like powers and meta’s knack for combat.

-the wings and arms are summomable..you know like how star dream summons stuff and warps away?? my point here basically is that it doesn’t always have its wings and drill arms out

-half business man, half warrior. clockwork runs what’s left of haltmann works but isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty

-cool, collected, and charming when it needs to be, but generally a short, angry, power hungry gremlin

-since star dream is pretty fucking beefy, meta’s implant sometimes overloads, letting him take control again, however briefly. star dream soon started working on measures to prevent this from happening, but even still meta still has brief moments of lucidity and clarity where he feels almost like himself again.

-its really not fun for him since he doesnt have enough time to really understand what’s going on or do anything about it ):

-however, there’s a part of meta that delights in being so untouchable and so fucking powerful. at this point in my little story for him, he’s had a pretty bad history of feeling inferior and like he just. isnt enough. so when he gets all this power, part of him just goes fucking crazy and relishes in how powerful and confident he finally feels.

-once he’s back to normal, he’s terrified of this part of him, especially since he acted scarily similar to his mirror world counterpart, as well as the fabled pink clad knight who destroyed halcandra and served as a cautionary tale for any knight.

-i’m still not sure how the story portion of this au will work, but my vague idea is that after the star dream fight clockwork fucks off into space and starts rebuilding haltmann’s empire..it still keeps the haltmann name because of susie’s implant, in it which was programmed absolute loyalty to the company

sorry if this is super unorganised but this au is very much still a wip, so i may go back and update some of these notes occasionally or just make more posts about it later..but yeah! havin a lot of fun making evil (:

i have way more notes about the design and all its attacks and shit..but i feel like that may be a bit excessive for now. definitely gonna be working on this more so feel free to ask me questions (((:::
