To me in Underfell, since Mettaton is technically trapped in the body that Alphys originally has him in, he wouldn’t really go for a design similar to that one, specifically in SHAPE. Right ingredients, Wrong meal (does that make sense).

Which is why the most obvious change here is the rounded shoulder pads.

I also want to note that I know some people have complaints about how UF MTT comes off as just me torturing him for fun, it is… not that at all. It is far from that.

I just have a hard time trying to explain what he experiences, what his overarching concepts are and how it mirrors Undertale MTT.

Because I’m afraid that people will simply not understand my intention and I will be forced to reveal things about myself in order to validate it.

I’ll just start small and say some of these concepts revolve around Dysmorphia, Dysphoria, Autonomy, Self Reliance, and Rebirth. There’s more I’ll add later because

I believe Mettaton to be very important to Undertale (and dare I say Deltarune’s) entire plotline and story. His character has many many layers and I really want it to translate well in Underfell (and hopefully Defernull).

I’ll say NOW the concepts of Dysmorphia and Dysphoria that I will eventually get around to is really the horror that can come with these clashing state of minds.

Like staring at the ceiling, fully aware of every portion of your body you either hate or gives you discomfort, but you’re at the mercy of.

Especially the parts that are perceived the most.

Anyway I feel like I’m not making that much sense and getting in my head already about this brief explanation and how it might be misconstrued so here’s a picture I will paint through words.

To me UF MTT is like

Ghost- Caterpillar

MTT/MTT EX- Cocoon

MTT NEO or POST GAME- Butterfly
