My Idea for a robot or set of robots is to base a set on females! everybody loves them, heck even females think females look good so the point here is to celebrate the female figure and embody some historic female monsters. This is a rough edit (very rough) of a monster caled Nukekubi. Its a mythlogical japanese monster that is a female but the head of the female is often seen floating by its self. there is another design that could be used where the head is just on a very elongated neck and the monster is a female called Rokurokubi. heres some wikipedia for you...
The rokurokubi (?, ) is a type of Japanese y?kai (apparition). They look almost completely like humans, with one major difference. There are two types of Rokurokubi: one whose necks stretch, and one whose heads come off and fly around freely (nukekubi). The Rokurokubi appear in classical kaidan (spirit tales) and in y?kai works.[1] It has been suggested, however, that the idea of rokurokubi may have been created purely for entertainment purposes rather than originating from any folk beliefs or legends.
The nukekubi are rokurokubi whose heads come off and float about. These were the first rokurokubi, whereas the other kind came afterwards.[8] Nukekubi sometimes perform bad deeds such as attacking at night and drinking their victims' blood. It's theorized that the nukekubi has a weakness when it is sleeping and the head is floating around: if the body moves, then the head cannot be re-united to the body.[9] Classical literature about rokurokubi describe tales of people witnessing and encountering floating heads at night time.[9]
The reason i thought this was a viable candidate is because it would be cool to have a robot that had a temporary floating gun platform that would extend into the air straight above the robot and be able to fire at other robots from behind buildings and other robots. I would let the head float about twice as high off the ground as the height of the bot. other that that the 2 light hard points would remain on the bot as the heavy hard point floated above the bot for maybe 15 seconds or so with a 15 second cool down maybe. i wold give it the stats of a Galahad probably. maybe a little more health for those times that there is nothing to hide behind but essentialy the ability lets you use in game objects as shields (impenetrable shields if they happen to be buildings, not so impenetrable if they are your fellow team mates)
it would also give you the ability to shoot down from above shielded bots avoiding their shield altogether if you are close enough to them.
