While we were venturing in clockworks, one of my guildmate came up with the idea of possible status-themed variants for scorchers, so they can fit better the themed strata in the clockworks where gremlins are.

The ideas then developed into this pic. only 3 variants because stun is already dealt by twackers and curse seems off for gremlins.
what do you guys think? might that be a good idea?
The thing is aren't the flame guys already very rare? I see them maybe once a week and I think it's because people avoid them since they are resistant to elemental and weak to shadow (hence, people seem to invest in dark crystals which is why they are worth less coins so that they can fight other things like beasts and undead). Anyway, I'm not sure if it's worth their time especially considering the fact that they still need to finish king Tink and his scarlet guys
You only really see Scorchers in Dstrux Zones on fire stratums. They are elsewhere, but really not commonly enough to worry about.
+1 though, would be nice to see more types of creative Gremlin machinery; as things are, they already remind me of Skaven, more tech jazz would just further that
We need some undead-stratum Ghostbuster Gremlins.
The Tesla pack is lookin' pretty nice, though - definitely would be neat to see some Gremlins arcing electricity around. That said, between the MechaKnights and Gun Puppies in Decon Zones (Circuit Breakers in particular) it might be redundant to put another shock-dealing mob in. Perhaps the next update and the introduction of the Crimson Order will bring with it more status-inflicting Gremlins. If the new content being developed brings new stuff to the table like the munitions factory did, we can probably safely expect new rabbits to be pulled out of the proverbial ticking Gremlin hat.
Or bombs. They might pull bombs out of the hat.
The artwork is pretty fine and i also think this is a good idea. But does every suggestion has to be a clone from another? Ever since Nicoya said something about status themed gremlins this type of suggestions have been spawning around. Yes, with more suggestions devs will be more likely to implement this but please come up with original stuff. Like when i said something about cows and then there were like 200 suggestions per minute about cows, even one of the servers exploded, they had to ban cows post from the forums but you can still find the original post.
^( ' o ' ).
Actually, not a bad idea! The visual concept looks spot on as well.
For the actual attack animations, I suggest a haze cloud that reaches a certain distance for the poison/freeze ones, and perhaps make the Shock version like Axl's Plasma gun in Megaman X8, except with a little more range than his.
