Description
This is the second part of my reference sheet of my new Sonic FC, Polyphemus the Prototype Gizoid. This mainly concern's Polyphemus's main special ability, which are his Plate Unit weapons, and his ability to scan and copy various different weapons.Polyphemus's main special ability is that he can scan and copy any type of weapon that he can see. This was an early version of the Gizoid's signature ability to duplicate and imitate the powers, skills, and weapons of others whom they had scanned. However, unlike the later models which perfected on his design, Polyphemus is only limited to weapons, and cannot copy powers and skills. This was one of the flaws that made him inferior to the other Gizoids, but he is still quite strong, although the other Gizoids would be able to overpower him, especially Emerl. When Polyphemus is scanning a weapon, his eye dilates and glows. It takes a bit of time for him to completely scan a weapon and he can not do it quickly, and more complex and powerful weapons may take longer, but once he has it scanned, he will keep it stored in his memory.
Polyphemus has these four triangular Plate Units on him. These plate units attach onto his back when not in use, and float near his body when in use. The Plate Units can be used sort of like wings for better control while in flight, or can be used as shields to block attacks. Polyphemus can keep control over these Plate Units and control where they float, as long as they stay within 5 meters of his body. The Plate Units also are key to his main special ability.
Once Polyphemus has scanned a weapon, he can then morph any one of his plate units into a replica of that weapon for him to use. Although this takes some of his energy to do, and certain really powerful weapons he cannot replicate, he still can use a large selection from what he has scanned. The weapon will function almost exactly like the original as well, and appearance wise, they will look the same, except for the color, which always stays in his green color scheme, and Polyphemus will replicate the weapon's appearance exactly, even anything such as scratches, rust marks, or cracks will be there on the duplicate that he turns his Plate Units into. He can only replicate what was already there once it was scanned. Also, although Polyphemus can replicate weapons functions and appearance, he can not exactly duplicate size all of the time. If he were to scan an oversized weapon, his Plate Unit will only change into a duplicate of the weapon about the same size as his Plate Unit. He can also make them change back to their default state whenever he desires. The fact that he has four of them is also a big help, since this allows him to use up to four copies of various scanned weapons at the same time.
Although Polyphemus is able to scan and replicate almost any sort of weapon, he is actually somewhat inept at using guns and other projectile weapons, and has somewhat of a bad aim with them. This is also because of how he was not properly preserved, as for his targeting systems no longer function completely properly, especially at long distances. Polyphemus prefers to use melee weapons most often, and only uses projectile weapons when he feels that he has to. However, his skill in close combat is decidedly deadly, and can eradicate most opponents easily with almost any melee weapon that he has scanned.
Also, Polyphemus's Plate Units are virtually indestructible, but however, a really hard impact to the Plate Units will stun them, rendering them temporarily disabled and unusable for a few moments. This can be problematic due to the fact that Polyphemus has no arms anymore. However, his lack of arms isn't too much of a weakness for him. Polyphemus is aware that he cannot always rely on his Plate Units, and makes up for this with his exceptional leg reflex and use of the booster on his back for aid in mobility. If all of his plate units are stunned, Polyphemus will often times resort to using kicking, backflip, and booster-aided charge attacks, or just try to focus on dodging or escaping until the stun on his Plate Units wears off.
Here's a list of the weapons that Polyphemus currently has scanned. Due to his memory deterioration, he has no memory on weapons from the past, and all of his current weapon data was just recently obtained, mainly from Eggman's robots.
-Swords (A personal favorite of his)
-Spiked Balls
-Lances
-Plasma Gun (albeit ineptly used)
-Piko Piko Hammer (copied from Amy)

Yes, and very unique too, especially from other Gizoid fan-characters I've seen.

this is such an interesting Sonic FC.
I love his design, and colours ♥

Yeah, I thought so too. I thought it was unique to make him like a prototype of the robots that Emerl was one of. His floating plate units were a unique touch too.
I'm working on another character who will be like the one who will "take care" of him. I still need to finish him, but he's going to be awesome!

Slick design as always Hexidextrous, I wish the new Sonic Boom game use your design for the Gizoid than the one in the official game. These look badass, and it show case how talented you are at coming up with brilliant ideas. XD

Well, he's a prototype for a Gizoid, but still is rather strong. The only reason he's a prototype is that he did not live up to full expectations of the Nocturnus Clan.
I thought the plate units was a unique spin on the Gizoid's copying ability. To help you imagine it more, his Plate Units are sort of like those Floating Sword Units on NU-13's back in Blazblue, except that they change into copies of any weapon that he has scanned. He uses them in ways similar to how NU-13 uses her's too.
That's why he's a prototype though. Polyphemus can only copy weapons, not powers and skills like the other Gizoids, such as Emerl could.
And yes, I totally agree that Emerl and the Gizoids should return in Sonic Boom! They would be awesome in it! Perhaps the Nocturnus Clan should also appear in it, they'd work well into those technological ruin zones that were shown in the game trailers.

For prototype this Gizoid look absolutely beastly, I would hate to run into this thing in a dark alley, but yeah it would be awesome if Gizoids were in Sonic Boom, especially if it take place in another dimension, so they could easily fit in the game. Also, if I am not mistaken there a statue in the game that look like a member of the Nocturnus Clan, so maybe will will get Gizoid in this game, but they still wouldn't look half as cool as the one you drew here.

I know right? That statue was exactly what I'm talking about.
Well, thankfully Polyphemus is a good guy though, and a great protector and ally when your on his good side. Although unlike Emerl and the other ones, when he forms a strong Link with someone, he often times will start to become a sort of Yandere for that person.

Good thing Polyphemus is on the side of good then, because he look like a pretty incredible mech warrior.XD
