I think this one is my favorite weapon I've made to date. It takes a page from Flynt's musical-instrument-as-weapon book and takes the form of a boombox/battle hammer. Obviously, any form of realism in how the weapons operate is somewhat thrown out the window with this design.
'Vindictive Ruin' is similar to weapons such as Oobleck's thermos because it contains one every day use form, and only one weapon form. In boombox form, the weapon simply acts as a boombox - Nothing special here (although it is capable of playing some pretty stellar bass beats). The transformation is triggered by a bottom on the back of the boombox towards the bottom. Essentially, the wielder would tap the button with his or her foot which would extend the handle and then grab it off the ground and go to town on whatever badies need slaying. Of course, the button could be pressed by other means, but they would be inferior in coolness.
While the hammer itself is a powerful melee weapon, the real power comes from the speakers on both ends of the weapon. Pressing the trigger will allow both speakers to "fire" off a beat of intensely devastating soundwaves. This gives the hammer both driving force (the soundwave thrust the hammer forward) and additional crushing force (the soundwaves push against whatever the hammer is coming down upon). The driving soundwaves emit greater than the crushing soundwaves in order to avoid the awkwardness of the hammer having two equal driving forces on both sides of the hammer. Note: this is not similar to a dubstep gun with music constantly blasting out of it. If you have seen Pacific Rim, The beat that plays to drive the weapon is a singular, loud beat similar to how Gipsy Danger's horn blast out a loud, singular tone.
I appreciate any comments/feedback anyone may have on how to better improve the weapon, or my animation in general, let me know what you think!
Please do not use without permission.
A quick question to anyone who watched the video: How is the volume on the music? I usually lower it, but I have my speakers and headset on near full volume. I am not sure if it is too low for other people? Thanks!
