I thought it might be fun to show the real world evolution of this particular character. Partly to explain why he has become such a big part of my current narrative. For me, being able to design a character in-game, to be as close as possible to my original idea, makes a lot of difference in whether I play them a little or a lot. Some times when I can't approximate a character I will try something radically different, and like it all the better. In this case, once they gave us the Project Clockwork and Defender 2015 outfits last year, I was finally able to make an armored suit that really came close to what I had envisioned for this character.
I was originally only going to show his 'final' real world sketch for comparison, but then I thought it might be fun to show the whole progression Starting in my junior year of high school, 1985. I had started reading Iron Man a couple years prior and although I generally liked him, I didn't like the 'spandex' style of armored suit he wore. I wanted something that looked more durable. That year, one of my best friends was an exchange student to Japan and sent me back a few things that were my first real exposure to anime. One of those things was a magazine about model building called DualMagazine At the time my drawing ability was limited to whatever I could copy, so the first version of this character was just a straight up copy of one of the robots featured in the magazine from a show called Panzer World Galient
This robot was called Panzer Hunter Zuwel. I called him Gladiatron. Obviously meant to be a play on Gladiator, in my mind the name should have worked, but it just doesn't roll off the tongue well. However I continued to call him that for many years.
