Description Another Master of the Universe character redesign. In my version Man-At-Arms utilizes an exoskeleton to enhance his strength. Duncan prefers this armour-less version because the reduced weight provides superior speed. I also expanded the role of the bracers and made it some kind of human/tech interface.

Sidenote: I changed the presentation format and the overall style a little. After reviewing all characters in a line up now, i hope to alter the older pics to get them back in line.

Hope you'll like it!

I like the legs design. Wasn't the biggest fan of the original Man-at-Arms however during the remake I found his new armour and weapons most appealing.

This is its appearance when you meet him for the first time. With time, the character will evolve and eventually grow a beard also. I thought about this for a while and i came to the conclusion, that it is a great way to show the development of Duncan throughout the series.

This exosuit idea is great, too many variants of Iron Man around, this is a good choice.

Thank you very much.
I always imagined Duncan as an outstanding close range expert. I designed his exosuit without any armor, because this way his real combat speed could be preserved, while maintaining the immense strength. This way, his tremendous success as a master only depends on his fightingskills.
No one on eternia would dare to be stripped in a non armored exosuit. Thats the reason, why not everybody just fights in this suit.

This sort of Reminds me of the Mark 1 Iron Man suit from the first movie.

feuerkorn In reply to SpiderTrekfan616 [2013-03-01 11:04:23 +0000 UTC]

Both are exosuits, true.
But Duncans version is stripped of all armor to make him more agile while preserving all the benefits of the strength enhancement. In contrast to the slower heavy armored versions of the royal guard, his movemnets are quicker an deadly with his unique version. Only a guy with the skills of man-at-arms not only survives in this suit, he deliveres some serious damage!

I always loved the exoskeleton in Alien. For Man-at-arms i found its the consequent solution of how a mechanic would prep himself for a fight with powerful adverdaries.

At first, I wasn't sure if I liked this less robust version of Duncan, but it fits with his tech-savvy personality. Though I am lamenting the absence of the 'stache. That really worked in his favor, during the 2002 cartoon. Also, the top knot.

feuerkorn In reply to Ashe-Nyght-Raven [2011-05-05 07:35:45 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much for the cool comment!

I can understand your point of view perfectly. I was going through the same when I started redesigning him. At some point I realize that what makes him unique for me is him beeing an expert mechanic. In a way that is his 'superpower'.
If He-man is raw power, than Duncan is the gear-supporting guy. There is no need for him beeing oversized. For me the exoskeleton idea fits perfectly in that concept and also makes him a unique personality and a great silouette.

The decision to give him a mustache or not was the hardest thing to do. It is essentially a visual element that make him look older and wiser. I am not a big fan of a mustache and as I looked on my oldschool Man-At-Arms action figure without 'stache I decided not to do it.

By the way I really love the Duncan version of the 2002 cartoon.

Vielen Dank. Der fährt auch mir dem Mac-sound hoch
Als Ausgangslage für die Character habe ich immer, unabhängig wie weit sich die Character dann gestalterisch davon entfernt haben, die Figuren der ersten Generation genommen und dort hatte der olle Mechaniker tatsächlich keinen Rotzfänger. Dieser kam erst mit der Serie hinzu. Muss aber gestehen, daß ich sehr lange drüber nachgedacht habe, ob ich ihn einsetze oder nicht

Orangene Rüstung, hellblauer Helm, Noppen-Streitkolben, … alles dran.

Auf den Schnorres hätt ich allerdings auch nicht verzichtet.

Ja der Lippenspoiler spaltet die Nation (dramatisiert, muss nicht stimmen)
Aber schöne Idee mit der Unterschriftensammlung. Wenn 10 leute sagen er muss hin mach ich das.

Leider kann ich mit meinem Account keine "polls" starten
