Description Redesigned the Knight Sabers from Bubblegum Crisis to use technology from my own universe. Namely, by modifying the C5 Berserker Frame to closely match individual characters' armament and fighting style.

Last I drew was Linna.

This unit is equipped for high-powered, hit-or-miss type attacks, and high mobility. Linna is their most nimble and physically intuitive operator, so they have her be first to try out any exotic or experimental equipment. If it’s any use, she would be the one best suited to find that use, and if not, she would be best suited to get out of dodge.

Gauntlets, as mounted here, are a standard waldo/machine gun unit on her left, and high-explosive anti-tank ram on the right, which uses the same 'rounds’ as Priss’s knees. Her right gauntlet is the only arm on any of the four to completely lack fingers, so that’s amusing. Maybe I could fit a little claw or something idk.

Knees and shoulders mount gravity dynamos for extra mobility, same as Sylia. To decrease weight and increase bodily control, she went so far as to forgo the armored skirt, same as Priss did.

And of course the fancy whip things. They’re composed of the same neutron-froth graphene as Sylia’s swords, but in the form of micron-diameter razor wire, which would be able to slice through light armor in broader strokes and greater range than a sword. At such a tiny thickness even NFG wears through quickly, so the suit contains spools to replenish it. Although I drew the wires as black lines here, they would be thinner than a human hair, and quite nearly invisible in person, so it would be down to the operator’s skill and intuition to keep track of where they actually are, and to keep from getting hurt by them. Speaking of, in the show the whips come out of her HELMET, which (although I appreciate the Sailor Moon pigtail aesthetic) makes absolutely zero sense, would be nearly uncontrollable, hard to swing with any power, and, more to the point, absurdly dangerous. Mounting these whips externally on the gauntlets, as far as possible from the user's body, seemed more effective and responsible. Those spools contain several hundred meters of the stuff, and they can roll back up when not in use.
