Oomatu Art: G3 Weapon Discussion

I liked the idea of Lewa having fans, but I love the classic axe, so hey, why not both?
and also here’s some Gali hook concepts.

These look great! Although I imagine that likely the weapons will be custom pieces. Mechanically, they could very well work like this.

In '01 Lewa didn’t truly fly, so maybe in '01 it didn’t matter that his axe wasn’t aerodynamic. (plus that whole woodsmen aesthetic) But when he could fly his weapons became more aerodynamic. So should Lewa be able to truly fly in year 1? (or does that even matter.)

Flight I feel should be a passive ability on year one

@Oomatu @NinjaBoyJoel Hmm… what if the axe was designed with some sort of rocket booster or something? So basically if Lewa wants to fly she just holds up her axe and blast into the air for a quick burst of flight. The booster would be facing downward on the axe, I think, almost like a glider that is build into the weapon so that the actual axe blades become mini wings or something.

I dunno, that’s what first came to mind. :stuck_out_tongue:

Like aang’s staff?

What are your thoughts on Gali’s weapon?

These are very traditional, though I think they need a shaper spiral.

For Lewa, maybe something like this (bottom)? A more pronounced axe combined with the tonfa? And an idea for Tahu (top).


(edit) I made this a while ago, and then realized it was similar to my drawing here, thought something like this could work for Tahu.

If you check out my new Le-Koro art , you can see a Tonfa/Ax design reminiscent of this. Great minds must think alike!

Thanks! I didn’t see the tonfa handles at first (tiny screen, not your fault), very cool.

I think the shield has very tribal feel, sort of like the gungan shields in star-wars. Maybe that oval shape could give it some width?

Then Lewa would be Reinhardt. If Reinhardt´s hammer was an axe instead, that is.

What about a Harpoon for a secondary weapons?

cos… Harpoons… are Cool? (apart from several brutal chapters of the uses of such tools in the industry of whaling.)

Also… I don’t think whaling is agianst the traditions of such a tribal sociaty?
And not to mention there are also other things that… have a weakness to harpoons…

Hint hint Rahis

Honestly I was thinking about a harpoon for Guurahk, if the rahkshi will get weapons at all.

It’s a cool weapon, as you said, and to make it more “playable” for kids I was thinking of a stud launcher firing a stud w/ a hole that has a spear tip inserted in it.
(though it might be invalid, as it could be really painful if it was shot in one’s eye)

I don’t really like the claws for Onua, I just don’t really see them working very well with the bigger minifig design. Everything else is just about perfect in my opinion though. Nice work
