Board Thread:Speculation House/@comment-14973176-20130809211015

I took a quick dig around the speculations forums and found that while there are topics for discussing characters and episodes you'd love to see, there is not yet one to give voice to the weapons you'd love to see. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

And well, though the cast is shaping up to be amazing, it's the weapons that really draw me into this universe filled with dust and grimm. Ruby's sniper-scythe was the most awesome weapon I'd ever seen in my life, for example.

So I was thinking, perhaps we could start a topic on which you could give your own ideas for weapons. After all, meeting new weapons is like meeting new people, only better.

Feel free to let your imagination run wild. Combine weapons with everyday objects or even other weapons and let's all see what we can come up with.

I'll get the ball rolling: Something came to me last night right before I drifted off to bed; meet the chainshields. Imagine two round shields, one on the left arm, one on the right. On the entire edge of these runs an automated circle of chainsawblades, allowing for defense to quickly turn into close-quarter offense. The weapon could go to medium range through a form of robotic arm that extends the shield away from the arm while still keeping it thus attached and enabling it's retraction.. (An elastic cord first crossed my mind, but that wouldn't work seeing as the trajectory of the shield in it's return could be quite dangerous indeed.) And to top it off, by placing the two shields vertically on the ground with the chainblades running, you'd be able to use it as a fast and agile way of travell as the shields would serve as wheels and the running chainblades would keep you moving.

(I hope that example was clear. I swear, it's clear in my head.)

I'd love to see what you guys can come up with.
