Storm Hawks

I love Piper. She's adorable!

Though I gotta say, it's kinda weird that she doesn't wear armor plates like the rest of the team. What's up with that?

aw man I miss piperposting

>Master Piper
... Can't argue with that.

>tfw you will never have a spunky chocolate nerd girlfriend
It hurts.

season 3 when?

Never ever.

Bump for best girl.

...

...

you don't know how many times a fapped to her back on the day

Starling needs an adult.

Must've been with your imagination, cause all the Storm Hawks porn out there sucks.

Season 3 never.

Or is there hope?

How about fap fics? Anything good out there?

Wrench Wenches are the best

Probably not.
I do remember on Slugterra there was a Aerrow figure hidden in a treasure chest.

Did Slugterra end at least?

I thought it ended at season 4, but apparently it's still going.

>dem built arms
Unf. Is that the chick from Advance Wars?

Also
>Piper with a well toned mechanic's figure
Yo, drawfags.

But Piper is more of a mad scientist then an engineer.

Well, okay you got me there, but mad scientist gals are still good. And not nearly common enough, come to think of it.

I thought she was the resident mage/crystal expert
Stork was mad science
And Junko was the Engineer


It's been forever though, I might be mis-remembering

Seriously though, that plating thing bugs the shit out of me.

Like, does she not get armor because she's the token chick, or because she's the mage. Both are stupid, but for different reasons.

You're right, with Aerrow as the Sky Knight and Finn as the Gunner.

Eh, there's some slight overlap.

She's like a mage in an RPG party except she specializes in crystals. They don't wear armor.

Cyclonis is better.

I'd prefer Dragon Booster Academy if I'm being honest.

>mages don't wear armor
This meme needs to die. Fake ass RPG mechanics. House rule the fuck out of armor penalties to spell casters.

Ever notice how they never really made Cyclonis' gender a thing? She just happens to be a chick, and nobody cares. Neat.

>>mages don't wear armor
>This meme needs to die. Fake ass RPG mechanics. House rule the fuck out of armor penalties to spell casters.

Depends how spells work, there could be good reason.
If spells are just bending the universe to your will with your mind, then armour penalties are dumb
If spells require intricate, full-body gestures (like some bending in Avatar), then armour can get in the way
If spells are "point and shoot" with a staff, the armour should be allowed
If spells require a connection to the ambient natural mana and artifice gets in the way, then a suit of metal amour could get in the way (bark armour? Go nuts)
Depends on the magic

Light armor solves the kung fu magic issue.

And the hippie magic precludes clothes, so it's useless anyway.

It could be wearing metal causes interference with their crystals.

light wool and cotton are okay, polyester isn't, nudism is best

Except it clearly doesn't because plenty of armored characters use crystal powered weaponry.

>House rule the fuck out of armor penalties to spell casters.

You best be prepared to rebalance the entire game if you're doing this. Most RPGs are designed to make sure that wizards are more fragile than other classes, at least in theory.

Casters tend to be better than martials in a lot of TTRPG systems, they don't need yet another advantage.

Personally, I prefer Shadowrun's magic
You bought the ability with karma that could've gone elsewhere
You invest karma that could've gone elsewhere into it
And after all that it's still a damn good idea to have a gun and know how to use it

I thought Piper used some kind of crystal array that worked differently from the conventional weaponry of the others.

Usually its that robes and fabric can be enchanted and act as conduits for amplifying ambient magic. You're just gimping yourself using armour when you can get juiced and use a manasheild.

Didn't the guy who designed the characters for this used to draw porn? It wasn't exactly top-tier in terms of fapability, but it was Hellsing after-volume scribbles levels of entertaining, fitting considering the guy loved to draw Hellsing.

... She doesn't.

And if you encounter anti-magic, you're proper fucked without some physical protection.

Re-watched a few episodes, it funny how much the cyclonis wants piper.

You've obviously have never worn real armor in your live. Plate armour is heavy as fuck. If you aren't a front line physical attacker then it's just a burden.

Piper is that world's mage equivalent. Not having plate armor makes total sense.

Kinda hard to blame her, really.

>wasting a feat on armor proficiencies instead of taking Project Barrier as a cantrip

What the fuck are you doing

>When even the villain thinks she's best girl
There was never really any doubt, was there?

Nope. Master Cyclonis has impeccable taste in women.

Real talk though, do you think the subtext between Piper and Cyclonis would be more explicit if the show were made today?

Oh definitely, I would've liked if the show went more in depth with their relationship (something that could've been done if made today) but I'm pretty sure any subtly would've been lost completely. But at the very least we'd have more Piper x Cyclonis art thanks to tumblr so maybe it wouldn't have been all bad. Seriously though the lack of rule 34 of these two is damn shame.

What was the last fun Canuck toon? Haven't been keeping up with them.

Atomic Puppet

It was barely subtle to begin with, really. It's one thing that she wants her for her beautiful brain, but the vibe is inescapable.

I also find it amusing that the two get along so well because they're the only ones on either side who actually know a damn thing about crystals. Like programmers surrounded by a bunch of script kiddies.

The only real downside I can see to Storm Hawks being made today is that the Piper x Cyclonis thing might go the way of Bubbline, where it's eventually to the point of "Oh just fuck already!". Come on, CN, nut up, will ya?

Being prepared for anti-magic, dumbass.

And I know for a fact the DM WILL throw that shit at me, because why wouldn't they.

I feel like Piper x Cyclonis had a bit more chemistry though, both seemed to genuinely enjoy each other's company when they were just hanging out, something I felt that Bubbline doesn't have. One thing I've never liked about cartoon couples is that they rarely have characters who you could imagine just hanging out in their down time, with Piper and Cyclonis you could imagine a lazy Sunday where they just spend time laughing about crystals, while Bubbline...what would they even do, not only do they not have common interests, but they don't like what the other person does for fun all that much, and at the end of the day they just have bad chemistry and don't naturally fit together, I get the whole 'opposites attract' thing but this is that trope done wrong. In fairness I sorta dropped off AT a while back so maybe their relationship got a lot better, but it really shouldn't be an issue to have them officially together, I doubt any of their target audience would stop watching if it happened.

...

I miss this cartoon and they left it so open ended

Nah, Sami just wore a green bandana. Also looks steampunk as fuck.

I'm gonna need a source on that

attack on sodor

Don't do this to me user

Aren't all the cartoons made by this studio have the most basic ass animation but they always go deep into the works building

Not that user, but goddamn how har dis it to use google? That shit is Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Actually isn't far off, the anime is called Kabaneri of the iron fortress aka attack on trains.

we're old, aren't we

BROWN

Image search was useless for me on that one, so I just asked. Thanks

>attack on trains
Now I'm interested

>Now I'm interested
You shouldn't get your hopes up
