VARIABLE WEAPONS SYSTEM PERMISSIONS POST

[syntheticson]

So being kind of the former Trope namer for this event it's kind of obvious that this is a Permissions Post for Mega's unique brand of tech.

Mega Man has a Copy Chip which allows him to duplicate the functions of other complex tools (specifically other robots, usually) into his Variable Tool/Weapon System. It's not as stupidly powerful as it is in canon, and has been nerfed by the fact that he can only temporarily store weapons and abilities. Once he uses them up, the weapon is purged from his system and he's need to recopy.

Copying occurs entirely by Physical Contact. If Mega can get close enough to you to grab you - generally by the arm, he can copy your power.

So what I will need from you guys is to discuss what kind of power Mega receives if he copies your character's abilities. There's a general rule of thumb I'm going to be following, or trying to follow when it comes to these, with the various people on Sacrosanct. This is mostly based on my own headcanon and what I've seen i nterms of how various machine canons work together in Sing, so debate at your leisure.

• Cybertronians: Probably have the strongest attacks he could copy due to the sheer firepower most Cybertronians pack, but are heavily scaled down to Mega's system specifications. They are still incredibly powerful, but take up a lot more energy per shot than your standard weapon-copy. The most powerful Cybertronians may only give him one good shot to use before needing to re-copy.
• AIs: Due to a general sort of weird obsoleteness on Mega's part (since he's a Three-Laws-Compliant era robot) and due to their multiple purposes and function, AIs cannot naturally have powers copied. If they have weaponized a robot body somehow, then Mega can copy that.
• Cyborgs:Can copy powers as normal, but with a 50% chance of failure due to organic interference.
• Programs: Due to the nature of Programs and the fact they're sort of weird, I figure attempting to copy -any- basic function program results in Mega temporarily obtaining the Data Disc power, which allows him to use a Tron disc which functions similarly to the Rolling Cutter from MM1. Tron cast can feel free to point out any flaws from this.
• Powered Armor (Iron Man suit, SPARTAN armor, and the like): If the armor has any signature weapon used in combat built into the armor (like Iron Man's hand repulsors) then yes. Otherwise no.

<b>Mun Name:</b> <b>Character Name:</b> <b>Type Of Power Copied:</b> (Standard Robot, Cybertronian, Powered Armor, other?) <b>Power Name:</b> (What would it be called if it was a Mega Man power? Generally two-word.) <b>Color Shift:</b> (Mega shifts different colors depending on what power he uses. What color would he be here?) <b>Power Function:</b> (What exactly does the ability do? How powerful is it? Could he charge it for a stronger shot? As much detail as you'd like.) <b>Estimated Charge Amount:</b> (How many charges, roughly, could Mega get out of it before he purges the power from his system? General rule of thumb is the more powerful the ability is, the less shots Megaman is allowed before fully draining it)

This permission post is entirely opt-in. If you do not comment, I will (assuming you play a robot that is) refrain from having Mega go NOW I'VE GOT YOUR POWER unless I get your permission first, and will still warn you if I decide to have Mega power copy in a thread.

It's like if he had a more retarded version of the metal blade

Meaning: IT WOULD PROBABLY SUPPLANT THE MEGA BUSTER DESPITE BEING SO DUMB
