#solver murder drones

OKAY, TANGENT TIME, Something I've noticed about the Solver Drones is that their powersets aren't always one-to-one. The Solvers seem to specialise, and do things that other Solver Drones can't do. It might not be a hard rule, simply a matter of practiced techniques, but it accentuates the drones fighting styles in a cool way, that I like. Anyway, the differences: • Cyn can create scythe limbs, tentacles and camera head limbs that can create illusions. These reflect her general creepiness and duplicitous behaviour, although some of these might be attributable to the Solver itself • Doll can teleport in a cluster of glitchy particles, and can also duplicate objects she maniplates. If I had to derive a metaphor out of that (and I do), I'd say they could represent her detachedness and tendency to see her fellow drones as interchangable and expendable to her goals (she slaughtered the whole Prom Court for her Queen Scheme in "The Promening" (and also just killed two fleeing drones for no reason??? (god forbid women do anything))) • Uzi can... I don't know, she's the only one with that weird tail I guess? She just got her solver recently, give her a minute. OKAY, TANGENT OVER, the point is that the Solver Drones have signiature techniques unique to them. However, these techniques can be aquired; after Uzi consumes Cyn's heart, she gains Cyn's mobility tentacles (you can see them when she's dead right after, and also when she shows off at the end), as well as the Yellow Solver itself. And she's not the only one; in her battle with Uzi, Cyn utilises a teleport very similar to Doll's, a teleport that, as far as I can recall, she never uses before this episode(it's always her illusions dissipating or something). She doesn't use it for mobility either; she just blips around to look intimidating and go for trick shots, and it eventually gets her killed, implying that she might not be all that versed in using it.

I crossed out the bit that turned out to be completely wrong; Cyn uses the teleport whilst possessing Uzi in "Mass Destruction", BEFORE she eats Doll's core. This doesn't mean the tangent is completely bunk; Cyn had consumed part of Doll's body before this point, and could have acquired the teleport from that. She also only uses it once in that fight, prefering to lean on [NULL] and her scythe limbs, so she might not be used to it. But that's not as clean a speculation as I would like, kinda teeters into headcanon territory. Headcanons are great, of course, but not really what I wanted for the mega-post. And so, the tangent lives here, in Gay Baby Jail.

EDIT: God damnit, she teleports in "Home" too! UGH, NEVERMIND, the teleport isn't unique to Doll, FINE.
