POLEAX: I think all you could really do is put a gun on the other end, and perhaps the hammer with it. It already has everything. Make the staff telescoping I guess.

HALBERD: So, it's like adam's weapon? It has a blade that can fire from the gun? But when the two are connected the gun is a mortar and the blade is a halberd, and when apart they're a shotgun and war axe? I think a mortar should be a third mode entirely which requires seperately-input ammunition. Side note, it appears to me that you put your own IP in place of my own. Is everyone else seeing the same?

SPEAR: Hmm... well, if we want to make both forms awesome, the folded form will be connected differently, as with Crescent Rose's folded form. As such the switch would take longer. In addition, if you want ot use the full-length spear and gun in battle they are both by necessity directed in opposite directions. To use them both against the same enemy quickly would require Ruby-level finesse. That being said, it may be better as such.

I still like the slide form, though I see where you're coming from with it. But, is every weapon in RWBY really as simple as it could be?
