#join us in mandroid hell

There’s that particular episode of Earthspark where Croft stops by to check on how much work Meridian has got done, only to find he’s got nothing done cause he’s

So

Fucking

Sick.

So I’ve decided to make a horror-verse version of Mandroid, who we will call ‘Victor’. In this au, Vic is reincarnated after the healing ray undoes the damage his energy weapon caused. After being brought back, Vic finds himself at a crossroads in life. His ultimate weapon was a failure and it cost him his life, seemingly for nothing. He is approached by Alex Malto, who still wishes to extend a show of friendship to the man he once knew. Vic is hesitant but also in a great deal of shock. With nothing to look forward to, he begrudgingly accepts and, in a sense’ ‘teams up’ with his former enemies against a new threat.

The new threat being the Plague Virus that is not only a threat to their face, but also to humanity as well. Mandroid’s original goal was to protect humanity no matter what, so that is still his objective. He’s definitely not going to be easy work for them, though. He still has much to sort through mentally as well as physically, as his form continues to be upgraded. I’m hoping to explore more of it with some comic panels going forward. Somehow I can’t get it out of my head, the idea of Mandroid becoming an anti-hero. It was necessary, I had to make it happen 😂👌🏼

More inventory for the Mandroid Hell. I blame @monocle-teacup and @yayoineko for this 😂👌🏼 Mandroid has so many catty qualities. I can just imagine him growling like one.

So yeah I have this idea that Mandroid could be an epic anti-hero. Imagine he this recruited by his former enemies, because of some new, worse threat… and they make life hard for him in the base. So many pranks. Ahahahahahah. I hope he comes back in season 2 I’m literally tying myself in knots wondering about it.

It’s weird how it happened for me - I somewhat liked him at first, liked him more when the story progressed but then when I saw that Final Form weirdness, I was sold~
