Description Name: Pistol Shrimp

Animal: Pistol Shrimp

Weakness: Recoil Rhino


Powers: Pistol Shrimp is based off a special kind of shrimp that lives in the deep ocean, which is capable of smashing its claw shut to hard, it creates a sonic bubble, which for a split second is approximately the same tempurature as the surface of the sun. When the bubble collapses in on iself under water, it creates a shockwave which fires foward a short distance and can knock out prey. Pistol Shrimp has a similar power. His claws are built in such a way that they can smash together with the help of a "warp-generator" which creates warped bubbles in space-time. When they collapse and snap space-time back to normal, they fire out a short range shockwave blast which is very destructive. When these bubbles make contact with something, they often cause extreme damage to whatever they've touched in ways not currently explainable by science. Luckily, there have been no recorded incidents or reports suggesting the bubbles or their resulting shockwaves are dangerous in any way, other than their initial destructive force. It should be noted, the bubbles merely warp space-time, but are still no where near close enough to do anything catastrophic. At the very most, they can only "dent" space-time at their maximum capacity, which then "pops" back into place, resulting in the shockwaves the bubbles produce.

Bio: Part of the same science team that experimented on Recoil Rhino, Pistol Shrimp was a willing participant, as he was created specifically for the purpose of being a test subject by the science team. He often scolds Recoil Rhino for resisting their "assistance" in the first place, as Recoil came out of their experiments satisfied, enjoying his new powers. Pistol often explained to Recoil that "Science is only here to help us, and scientists would never do anything to Reploids other than to benefit us AND humans equally." Recoil's new powers are a result of that according to Pistol, to which Recoil agrees. Pistol is a bit of a science fanatic, wishing to experiment on everything. When he isnt studying, he is experimenting on something to learn how it works. He feels he has an ironic role in life as he is a shrimp, an under water creature, and yet his dream is to explore deep space, where the very limits of science are strained. He was used in an enclosed under water labratory for testing the effects of warped time-space on various metals for sapce travel, hopefully to produce a safe "warp-drive" engine to help scientists explore other planets. One day, during an experiment on Recoil Rhino to test the effectiveness of his reflex-barriers, one of Pistol Shrimp's bubble's shockwaves impacted Recoil's barrier and a strange anomoly happened. The barrier absorbed the blast and began to warp from its usual perfect dome shape. Recoil was instructed to hold the barrier as hard as he could and not to let it break. Eventually Recoil's barrier won the "fight" and blasted back Pistol's shockwave directly back at him. The shockwave struck his head and has since then been causing him to malfunction. His personality seems to have split into two. One is the ever present intelligent scientist, while the other is a psychotic gun toting cowboy buff. The secondary personality is often easily excitable and enjoys shooting at targets with his space-time warping bubbles. The scientist side of him then kicks in and enjoys recording the effects of the bubbles destroying a target. Finally deemed too dangerous to continue working, he was deemed too dangerous to keep around. But before retirement, he contacted Recoil Rhino and requested he break him out, fooling Recoil into thinking he was merely doing him a favor as repayment for all the good advice Pistol had given him. Pistol escaped the facility and went into hiding. As punishment, Recoil was banished from the lab he was being taken care of in and kicked out of the WRWF.

Weapons:

X- Collapse Wave: X fires a loud bang, which makes a medium size, stationary bubble which deals massive damage. When the bubble pops, either from being touched, or after it shrinks over time, it fires out a smaller, short range blast which deals lesser damage. The larger the bubble is when it pops, the more damage the bubble and smaller shot will deal.
Charge Shot: X fires out an even larger bubble. After a second or so, the bubble collapses in on itself and pops, sending out a massive circular shockwave in all directions before dissapating shortly after. Good for clearing out a large area around X.

Zero- Collapse Beam: Zero charges energy into his saber and suddenly releases it in a slow moving high damage bubble which will pop on contact, or shrink over time into nothing. The larger the bubble is when it pops the more damage is deals.

Axl- Collapse Wave: Fires a bubble wich moves slowly. When popped, a faster but weaker blast is released. The bubbles can be shot in any direction. The larger the bubble, the more damage it deals, as well as the more damage the smaller shot will deal.

nope. custom built. i designed him on my own for a hypothetical megaman x game. its not real, but if he were in a game, ive designed his bio, weaknesses, etc etc just for fun.

I thought he looked like Crush Crawfish. This is very good... I gotta draw animals or even better, mavericks and pseudoroids.

Yeah, its hard to draw a shrimp boss without them looking like crush....I tried my best to make him different without making him look totally different.

Could have made him similiar to Splash Warfly, but this is okay.

Nice design for his claws; it's like giant metal shutters :3 (Crawfish has nothing on him lol)

I wonder what it's like for him to get hit with Recoil Rhino's power XD ...a big explosion? XD or like Aqua Man being owned by Astro Crush? :3

lol yeah he reminds me of crush crawfish a bit..

Also, Recoil's power is basically a shield that reflect anything, and Pistol's is a destructive blast that can destroy anything....

And as it says in Shrimp's profile, he and Recoil ran a test to see how strong Recoil's shields were. The result was that Pistol's warp-bubble screwed up Recoil's shield and made it warp and bend, but in the end, it finally reflected the blast back.

If Recoil were fighting Pistol, he'd probably bounce him all around a room with his shields.

If X were using the weapon he gets from Pistol though, X would probably absorb a few of his attacks, and when the shield breaks, it'd probably fuck Pistol up pretty badly.

I imagine the shield-break blast the Hunters get from beating him is more like a piercing blast, than an explosive one. It kinda hits you and keep going, passing right through you...I dunno... xD
