Description Well, another try at something different for me. Drawing armors and mechanical looking stuff is hard for Dan >>

anyway, on the top half we have the Corruption Hunters, on the lower half the Alimbic Hunters.

L to R
Samus, Gandrayda, Ghor
Prime, Rhundas
Sylux, Weavel, Kanden
Noxus, Spire, Trace.

These are the guys I'm thinking of putting in a Halo Metroid crossover, but I think having the 10 (sans Dark Samus) could be a bit overkill in the Haloverse XD;;;;

Samus: Deadliest woman in the known galaxy. A career way too long to describe. Suffice to know, planets tend to explode when she's in the neighborhood.
Gandrayda: A shapeshifter, psychological studies say she is a teenager. A very dangerous one. She likes Sammy X3
Ghor: Veteran of the wars in Wotan VI. Only 6% of his birth body remain, the rest is state of the art cybernetics. Rides a huge armor suit, by far the biggest among the hunters, but he prefers to deal with computers and AI's.
Prime: aka Metroid Prime, aka Dark Samus, aka Goddess. Think of Samus, but overpowered, waaaaaayyy overpowered.
Rhundas: Think of the Predators; likes hunting, keeps trophies of his bounties, and is twice as big than most of the other hunters.
Sylux: Human... probably. Stole a prototype the GF was developing trying to imitate Samus armor. Stone cold killer. Likes to tear GF troopers apart with his own hands.
Weavel: A Space pirate general who fought Samus. Samus left only most of his brain and a chunk of spinal cord intact. Reconstructed, he's a badass. I mean, he has a mini nuclear reactor for weapon.
Kanden: The perfect soldier. Powerful, intelligent, and totally unpredictable. Oh yeah, and insane. Yep, insane.
Noxus: A monk who believes in justice and good... yeh, he's the odd one in this group.
Spire: A silicon based creature. Dunno what to say about him, other than he can swim through lava.
Trace: a teenager Kriken, an insect like horde. Primitive traditions, but advanced enough to give him equipment that turns him invisible, and an energy based sniper riffle and a galactic travel ship.

I took some liberties with some of them, like Gandrayda (gave her an outfit like those of the GF), Samus (Helmetless, of course) and Prime (similar to sammy, but with the corruption scars you see later in the game). The rest... well, I have only a few references of each of these guys, and I couldn't put on Corruption to check the logbooks.

yeh, so that's all. I think it was good for a single day's work X3 I still suck at drawing armors and cybernetic looking stuff, but it's a start

For the Halo fans, if I ever start that crossover project, think I should use as many spartans as possible, or only the ones alive after Onyx?

Characters belong to Nintendo!

Finally, quality fan art of all of the Hunters. Marvellous. You've no idea how much these guys deserve some sort of love.

They should really make a Metroid beat 'em up one of these days...

This is really neat! And and...RUNDAS! Waaaah. Whhhy? T_T He was my favorite, it was like putting salt in the wound when I had to fight him again when Gandrayda shapeshifted to him.

Mini rant aside, this is really cool. And I love your take on corruption samus

If I saw even 4 of those, I think I'd be scared shitless. Spartan Armor is not going to enjoy a mini-nuclear reactor, I have the feeling. But then again, the Spartans have some pretty advances weapons too, comes down to fire rate and how awesome you want a fight to be, I guess.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

dan-heron In reply to Bnty [2008-04-06 18:25:14 +0000 UTC]

yeh, but some of the hunters are way overpowered.

I mean, you can throw missiles, bullets, anything ballistic at Rhundas, and he just stops it in mid flight. Very annoying when that happens.

At least 5 of them are immune to energy weapons. Heck, Gandrayda doesn't need an armor or shields to shrug off lasers or missiles.

Kanden creates states electricity around him comparable to "standard" lighting bolts found in regular thunder storm, making any kind of electronic devices start failing.

And then there are the totally murderous ones like Sylux and Trace. They are bad news for everybody overall DX

XLRP In reply to ??? [2008-04-05 16:28:44 +0000 UTC]

Halo vs Metroid samus by herself is unfair. Adding the all the other hunters is just being plain sadistic. Look at all of them. One alone is ungodly overpowered in comparison to any of them.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

dan-heron In reply to XLRP [2008-04-05 20:42:31 +0000 UTC]

oh yep. But i have always seen fics where the Metroid facts are underpowered to balance the fic. You know, like the chief killing a metroid using bullets only. Dude, you need some 20 regular missiles to kill a metroid, I highly doubt a spray of bullets, no matter how enhanced they are, could kill an alpha metroid; maybe a hatchling, a miniroid even, but never next evolved one.

I'd try to balance the spartans, letting the chozo have some fun tinkering with their armors and body, and maybe copy some of the hunters unique weapons to balance it X3

XLRP In reply to dan-heron [2008-04-05 21:15:06 +0000 UTC]

Killing a metroid with bullets? What kind of blasphemy is this? Even if the Chozo give them a boost on there armor and body. Sylux alone can beat Samus without braking a sweat. And I'm not even going into the horrors of Kanden or any of the Pirates.

Rundas was cool. He is one of the better developed characters and he it too much for the Spartans and he is a good guy. Gandrayda just kept giving off hard hints that she had a hard crush on Sammy.( like she wanted Samus a pet or something, not that I can blame her.)

dan-heron In reply to XLRP [2008-04-05 21:33:16 +0000 UTC]

I know! Maybe if each spartan carries 4 tanks of liquid nitrogen, or the scenario is in the mid of a tundra, then maybe, MAYBE, they'd stand a chance against a single Metroid.

Kanden would be a bit unfair with the spartans. HEck, only by being near them, Kanden would win. He's a walking EMP for Miyamoto's sake! And yush, if I don't give Sylux another target, I'm sure he'd end up having fun seeing how a Spartan is put together.

I'm sad they killed the three corruption hunters -_- I like these guys, and would have loved to see more of them. They seemed to get along with Samus in a very personal level..... maybe that's why I want to use fanfic laws and unkill them...... Sammy never killed them, she just weakened them enough so DSamus would recover the Phazon she put in them......... We need more people calling her Sammy >>;;;

I'll probaly just send a randome e-mail to nintendo. (beggin them to put them in another metroid game) Rundas and Gandrayda are too good not to be used again.

The only thing I do is yell at their customer support for what it's worth. You can give it a try and see if you have any better luck than me.
You can get at them here. Just remember where it says Please select your subject (Required) pick other. [link]

They all look nice. Not familiar with any of the Metroid games, but I bet it must be a heck of a game, asuming by Samu's description (which reminds me a lot of the Lovely Angels (a.k.a. Dirty Pair) for some reason I can't still put my finger on...

dan-heron In reply to metalformer [2008-04-05 04:37:58 +0000 UTC]

yeh, you see, Samus has hard and easy missions.

Hard when she has to do things like going solo into a planet filled with people eager to kill her.

then there's the easy ones, where she only has to escort a scientists team, and it derives into a mad run to save the universe, using only the cannon on her hand, and with 10 evil clones of herself trying to kill her every 10 minutes X3
