Name: Riot Breakers

User: Copper Splitshot

Designer: Copper Splitshot

Function(s): Melee attacks, Ranged attacks, transport

Modes: Dual Handguns, Dual Gunblades, Hoverboard

Copper Splitshot's weapons of choice, are the Riot Breakers. Built with two handguns, two big-ass blades, and an advanced cybertronic technology, these dual gunblades are a force not to be underestimated. In their primary ranged mode, the Riot Breakers function like your average pistol/handgun. Featuring ammunition clips holding up to 250 dust burst rounds, there is not much to say about this mode.

But in the mode designed for both ranged AND melee attacks, the Riot Breakers become razor-sharp, dust-spitting blurs. A panel underneath the barrel folds down, and a retractable/folding blade extends out, but leaves enough room in the barrel region for a smaller barrel to replace the standard ones. A wing-shaped panel also flips upwards from the back of the gunblade. The most effective technique to be used with the Riot Breakers in this form, and the most iconic, is that the user first drives the blade into his opponent, and with the barrel close enough, or even wedged into the target, to deal more damage, the user will fire as many times as possible before drawing back from the target.

In transport mode, the whole barrel region extends, and then rotates 180 degrees, and a minature wing will extend from the back of the panel in which the extendable/folding blades are held. The trigger and the handle will also fold back, and the ammo clip will lock in place. The wing panel on the back of the gun, will reveal a small set of thruster jets, which will provide the transport. At this point, the Riot Breakers are too small to be used as transport. So after the process of the folding panels and such, the cybertronic systems in the Riot Breakers will activate, which causes the two halves of the hoverboard to increase in size, to about the ideal size of a surfboard. The two halves are then fit to join together. If the Riot Breakers are joined together before the cybertronic systems activate, the increase in size will damage the two parts, both internally and externally. This has never happened in the past, but the disastrous results were predicted in computer simulation. Though it is okay to refer to the Riot Breakers' transport mode as a hoverboard, Copper Splitshot commonly refers to this form as a Hoverblade, as the front end of the board can still be used as blades, which allows for slicing and dicing while moving at high-speeds.
