The Punchline by SagatTheTiger on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

It could be worse, Bass. He could've been called "The Extended Edition."

Yeah, no, that's actually worse.

SO, it's time for a proper introduction of Video Man's crew! The enemies listed are:

Camera Shooter (Green and Orange): If you recall seeing Bass Legends strip "Jimmy & Nicky," that's what they are. Jimmy (Orange) fires machine gun ammo from his standing camera, while Nicky (Green) fires pellets from his camera buster. The green Camera Shooter can jump up and shoot, or jump over and shoot from a blindspot, whereas orange can fire up five shots at a time.

Spider-Cam: As its name implies, it behaves like a spider and camera, only it can fire three pellet shots diagonally, and serves to block the path when attached to its web line. The Spider-Cam can drop from above onto a passerby or hop on them to attack if on the floor.

Mic Met: Although they don't shoot like their original counterpart can, this little Metall can do some damage running into someone with their microphone, which can alert enemies such as the Eye Lighter if too close to pick up sound.

Illusian: An enemy from MM9, not much is needed to describe this fella, but I felt like he fits with the theme of Video Man.

Clap Cutters: These little buggers serve to be like the bird enemies in the Mega Man series. They come in numbers rather than solo and are relentless in attacking their target.

EYE-TV: One of the biggest problems the team is facing. This robot serves as a gateway for characters listed in all variety of media (movies, cartoons, games, actors, etc.), but also to allow Video Man's troops to pop in and attack Team Light. The only way they'll be able to stop this robot is if they destroy the main one!

The Punchline: You guessed it. He's the sub boss of Video Man's stage! And of course, he is an edit of the prototype MM7 sub boss that was supposed to be in Shade Man's stage. I decided to put that sheet to use and slapped a camera on its head with a pair of eyes. The only way Team Light is going to move forward is if they defeat this guy and get info on Video Man.

And of course, who could forget the loveable Gattlin' Joe. If you saw the sprite sheet I posted on my DA page and wondered why, well... this was why. ^_^

Enjoy!
