No seriously, what weapons would you like to be reskinned and what would you skin them with?

Acheron ----> Skeletor Staff

Leviathan Blade ----> Battle "axe"

I really want some more mundane looking reskins, like a bar stool being used as a Sudaraska.

Kind of tired of leviathan reskins honestly.

I really want the gremlin sawblade weapon as a sword or possibly gun of some sort. I could see it behaving like winmillion, divine avenger, gran faust or dread venom striker if it were to become a thing.

A big joyful bomb would also be nice- http://stayviolation.typepad.com/chucknewton/images/2007/09/19/smiley_fa...
It would of course behave exactly like big angry bomb, but would have a smile in the explosion and would be yellow themed.

And lets not forget... THE SINGLE GREATEST PROMOTION IDEA OF ALL TIME.
Even though it's not exactly a weapon.. I mean we can have non weapons here, right? Great.

Well seeing...

Seeing as we got a pillow reskin of a sword with only a minor change, it's probably safe to say we can reskin anything to be a weapon and have it work under the garb of "it looks not powerful, but that's so we catch them off guard!"

It would be fun to see a gun puppy reskin of an autogun, similar in appearance to the mortafire guns. I'd also love to see a large computer keyboard sword or a balloon animal bomb.
For that keyboard sword I can see something along the lines of "It was discovered that when monsters appear out of nowhere when biotechs are hard at work on data entry that whatever is currently in your hands can be used as a weapon. Luckily for the biotechs, their keyboards have a fair amount of control. With enough alternating between keyboard smacks most monsters were deleted."

hehe... computer puns...
Hey I want to smack a Devil-IT in the face with a keyboard for once okay.

I would love to have the Ghostmane Stalker's sawblade contraption as not only a weapon, but as a weapon/gadget hybrid. Since the Ghostmane Stalkers are able to cloak and also attack with the gadget, it'd be pretty neat if you could equip it as a weapon and it'd function like one (a Gran Faust reskin sounds nice), but also have a unique effect with it. Instead of curse, I think it should be able to just mark enemies for death: hit them once, and they're warned; twice, and they're marked.

For me, I would personally love a Bombastic Promotion, in that players will have a 90% chance of getting a randomized Blast Bomb (really a 5* proto bomb, to be honest) variant that behaves depending upon how it looks:
- Resembles the Combuster/Wildfire; chance of inflicting fire and deals either normal or piercing damage.
- Resembles the Glacius/Permafroster; chance of inflicting freeze and deals either normal or shadow damage.
- Resembles the Voltedge/Polaris; chance of inflicting shock and deals normal or elemental damage.
- Resembles the Stagger Storm; chance of inflicting stun and deals normal damage.
- Resembles the Biohazard; chance of inflicting poison and deals elemental or shadow damage.

However, at a 10% chance, players can also get unique bombs:
- A "chaos" bomb of sorts that deals less damage than a Nitronome, but has a chance of generating a random status condition aura (similar to the Sealed Sword). Normal damage here!
- A new bomb that functions like a Shard Bomb but instead of deploying exploding crystals, it creates a "droid" of sorts that hovers in the air for a moment before spewing bullet-like projectiles in a 360-degree radius around it for one to three cycles, much like a needler. Knockback is optional, but this would make it a good "safety" bomb, and damage is either piercing or shadow.
- A lovely bomb that does much less damage than a Nitronome (like a Super Blast Bomb but with a bit more strength that it), but instead of exploding violently and sending everything flying everywhere... enemies are pulled into a heart-shaped vortex, and those caught in the end explosion are 'marked' in a way like the Seraphynx's heart attack does, thus giving them a higher chance of dropping hearts, but at slightly reduced potency. This makes it a support bomb that can be carried around to give grenadiers the feel of being a "team player" outside of strategic bomb placement and Heart Attacks everywhere.
- Maybe another bomb of sorts? I can't think of one.

They'd also have a 50-75% of getting recolored demolition suits or helms for costumes as a potential bonus prize (not both, one or the other), as well as a chance for fireworks! I also hope that upon doing so, this will also update the demo suit's hand models to the newer one, but that's just an aesthetic that'll hardly impact anything.

Bombers really need some love out there, so maybe that'll spark something up. In this one, at least everyone will (hopefully) be a winner and feel like they weren't blown out on.

You gave me a great idea as to how the sawblades could work so I wrote a suggestion for it-

I'd rather they not straight up make colourful blast bombs like that in a prize box. Another thing to consider is that you'd need to balance them with the haze bombs, which already deal status in a huge area, demonstrating how powerful that actually is. I do want more bombs and you do have good ideas though.

Bomb re-skins, preferably also with an alteration of the explosion colour.

> Image - (Golden explosion?)

> Image - (Any colour explosion)
Bomb re-skin as a glove. Doesn't hold bomb in hand. Upon charged, a bomb would be shot onto (or into, which ever sounds cooler) the ground. After that it proceeds like any other bomb.

No mist bombs.

I want a weapon that looks like a toothpick, acts like a toothpick, and is a toothpick.

I would like....

I would like a Blitz Needle that shoots sharp candy canes (similar to the Deadly Candy Poker's blade in appearance) for Winterfest.

What's better than an edible toothpick?

A gun that rapidly shoots edible toothpicks.

@Red

The vortex into pokeball idea is excellent! Unfortunately, Sega probably would not approve :(

Remember Sputterspark? (It's fine if you don't)
Well if you did remember him, you'll know that he had claws.
Reskin the DVS as some claws except make the lights green on them, and not only that, make it so that every 2nd slash is with your left claw instead of some phantasmal blade appearing.

For the Volcanic Pepperbox, you could make a flamethrower which when you attack, you spray out a bunch of mini fireballs. When you use the charge attack, it will look like you're actually firing a stream of flames.

For the Big Angry Bomb, you could make a mini-nuke of some sort. Just don't make the blast bigger and brighter than it already needs to be.
Or, you can make flares for airstrikes!
