I've always wanted to build a shapeshifter, someone that can change their molecules/DNA to another person or thing. I would use Becomes to achieve most of this but most of the Becomes are either spiritual or mechanical. For instance Black Talon, Djinn, Cybernetic Ninja, Cyborg, Lemurian Armor. There's only Werewolf and Vampire (though Vampire is technically undead and undead is also kind of iffy as a transformation for this theme). I would look into buying these Becomes...

Become a Champion:

Grond: Might powers and be as big as him, Super Jump
Raksasha: Telepathy and Telekinesis, Teleport
Witchcraft: Mystic power sets, Mystic Flight
Sapphire: Force powers, Flight
Kinetic: Unarmed Martial Arts and Super Speed Distortion
Red Snake: Unarmed and Single Blade Martial Arts, Acrobatics
Ironclad: Heavy Weapons, Super Jump
Hi-Pan: Electricity and Electric Flight

Custom Become:

Buy a Custom Become and choose an AT for it (only the ATs you unlocked of course, for Gold Members that means all of them). This would make buying ATs for Silvers something to think about. You can modify the costume of it with 100% of the options you have. You can re-modify the costume on the tailor same way you do with a costume slot.

The stats for the custom becomes shift to the AT in question with a 20% loss, so if your Primary was 200 Intelligence, secondaries were 80 Ego/80 Dex, then shifting to a Behemoth Become will shift the stats to 167 Constitution, 67 Strength, 67 Recovery. You can have as many Custom Becomes as you want.

All unusable in PvP zones of course.

BecomeAChampion could be interesting. It gives players the means to roleplay the Champions into stuff without the devs needing to work out how to make it so certain pieces don't clip even though I thought it was unanimous that we want every piece possible even if it clips.

The Custom Becomes into archetypes are interesting too: it lets you play various power types whilst still having your core, without it really affecting what you do with other players... I'm not sure if I'd use it without testing it first, but I can imagine a no-costume-change version being purchased by me so as to get certain powers I cannot get for my own solo RP (i.e. using the night avenger set become whilst doing infiltration-type stuff, or the soldier when you are in a situation which would mean heavy use of rocket launchers and grenades isn't silly)

Sounds great but I'd rather if players were perhaps a little larger than Black Talon when using Become GROND rather than actual Grond Size..

And Become Rakshasa, would be epic as long as they made telepathy...usable and it would be extremely FUN to annoy and chase Lee Tosi around as Rakshasa xD:biggrin:

I think the Become Champion devices are interesting. The Custom AT become even more so.

I like the idea, it would help out the "shapeshifter" toons a ton also.

I think a Become Raptor would be cool. The character becomes a super-smart Teliosaur dinosaur with various powers.

Become Cupid. Character becomes a cute, little cherib. The powers include crowd control (by Charming them), healing, and buffing teammates. Oh, probably some Archery attacks too, like a Mystic Archer.

Become Giant Mecha. Character becomes a giant robot with Invun. Powers include some PA ranged and a few Heavy Weapon attacks. Costume has to be brightly colored and different enough from Black Talon to be worth it.

Become alien wizard. This would be a good way to lead into future releases if they involve alien content. Mystic or Telepathy powers that can stand on their own with only a couple of support powers. OR.. a bad-**** Telepath Become would be a cool way to introduce the Telepathy changes once those are polished up. Like, Become Mind-Lord or something.

I want a become raptor/teleiosaur device so badly. I would absolutely yes pick one up.

I have always liked the idea of shapeshifters. Those become champion devices sound like they'd be a lot of fun!
