a common misconception I hear is that, while Silver's cuffs in 06 are meant to be closed by default and only open when his powers are in use, they dont have any actual animation for it and are just model swaps/snaps. this is not the case!
not only are Silver's cuffs fully rigged in his in-game model
but you can actually see them open in-game in cutscenes, completely animated!
(scene slowed down for effect) its just that the camera moves so quickly that its hard to see!
(this is also why I draw Silver with his cuffs closed when his powers arent in use, and why theres the option to open and close them in my dress-up game <3)
