>>51879006Machinedramon is a fantastic and terrifying design that works in Digimon's lore and on its own. Just from an outsider's perspective, it's a giant, threatening cybernetic dragon monster with cannons on its back. It's fucking cool.
But when you get into Digimon, one thing you learn is that it's a chimera made of the parts of a whole bunch of other cybernetic/robotic Digimon, mashed up together to create something new. And it's not a mindless monster that wanders around and fights. It thinks. It can strategize. It has goals. And its heart is so blackened and evil that only the strongest-wiled Digimon tamers can care for it, let alone use it in battle.
And that tamer could be you.
Digimon gives you lots of monstrous and scary creatures because kids like big, scary monsters, and Bandai realizes that. TPCI seems to have forgotten that. All the Pokemon are now round, sweet, and safe, with whatever dark edgy shit they have relegated to Dex entries. It's a shame.
