That's the best excuse you could have!
Anything's fair and square when you're experimenting with robots! And you have to start somewhere, right? You can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, after all!
Except the omelet is a robot, and the eggs are the parts of other +
@LOSTONEOFTIME - "It looks like it might be one of the Silhouette Knight models that predated the Cardator! That would mean this wreck must be couple hundred years old, at least!
Aaah, wreckage from an ancient robot...! So cool! Think of all the stories it must have to tell! All the battles +
"Highly customizable robots really are just the best, aren't they? There's so much room for experimentation! Creativity! Personality! The possibilities are 𝗘𝗡��𝗟𝗘𝗦𝗦!"
"Oh, don't worry! They're strong, and maybe they put a bit of a drain on power... but, they're nothing too overboard! Plus, there's a lot of room for customization!
You could put anything on a sub arm––so long as it can hold it, of course!"
@LOSTONEOFTIME || I've been getting that lately. Sometimes it tells me I've been followed by someone, but other times not at all.
I've had the same happen to replies a few times, too.
“It feels…nice to be back in the cockpit of something that isn’t overkill in the weapon department once more…
Especially having a shoulder mounted cannon once more.”
"Hm?"
There's a twinkle in his eye as he examines the document presented. It looks like... a new robot?! In one swift move, he snatches it in both hands, scanning it up and down at a feverish pace.
"This design is incredibly detailed! Did you come up with this all yourself...?"
Oh, absolutely. I've seen both sides... putting a robot back together after it's been torn apart is a long, arduous process.
But still... I can't deny how I feel!
I know it's wrong, but I just can't help but admire everything about robots, even the wreckage!
It's not hard to do, the boy doesn't even drag his heels. He's stranger to getting tugged around without warning––Ernie just about expects it at this point––though, he is surprised it's not the usual suspect.
"Oh, it's you...! You need my help? What for?"
- they just have so much potential I can't help myself!"
Ernie's face practically lights up at any opportunity he gets to gush about robots––and this is no exception. He's absolutely beaming, just at his thoughts!
"So it's robot you can summon...! I think I know of a few others like that! I don't think that sounds shoddy at all, honestly. Then again, I haven't seen yours yet... you'll definitely have to show me sometime!"
But on to Silhouette Knights... in my personal opinion, they're +

"Silhouette Knights... that's such a cool name!
I pilot a Duel Monster called "ZEUS" that I use Shadow Magic to materialize, but — it just feels like a shoddy, improvised way of doing it.
To have a real-life mecha... man, that's so cool! How do they work?"
- just 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰! The controls are meant to emulate the human body, so once you have the proper training, they're surprisingly simple and intuitive!
They're maybe a bit difficult to iterate on... it was a challenge just trying to add even small upgrades to them, but +
