Armored Digimon Reimagined Part 01

Okay, so over at my main blog, I ranted/vented about the Armor Digivolutions. I sorta wanted to try and brainstorm some reimaginings for the Armored Digimon.

The first I’m gonna tackle is:

The Digimental of Courage

And, yes, I am going to refer to them as Digimentals instead of Digi-Eggs cuz…well, Digieggs.

According to the DigimonWiki (not Wikimon, to avoid confusion), Digivolutions with the Digimental of Courage would have something to do with fire and/or dinosaurs. Keep in mind, wikis such as this were made by fans, so I don’t know if this was lore from the creators or just an observation made by fans from seeing the other Armored Digimon.

I can see it, though. Because, a way to look at it is that the Digimon the Crest of Courage was tethered to in 01 was Agumon, a dinosaur-like Digimon with fire-based powers.

So, let’s make that the criteria, then. The form of the Digimon ‘wearing’ the Digimental depends on the Digimon tethered to the Crest the Digimental is connected to. I’ll probably even come up with ideas for redesigns that would fit the Digimon better.

Also, while I might try to incorporate all three, it’s not necessary to do if the Armored Digimon is just okay and as long as the Armor and overall look of the Digimon is possible to include.

And while I can understand that the Armored Digimon can either be a standalone Digimon or could even evolve from other Digimon with the same Digimental, I’m sticking to the 01/02 canonicity, if you will.

Outside of 01/02, its fair game. Every Digimon mentioned here is valid.

Let’s begin.

Digi-Armor Energize!

Veemon and Flamedramon

Veemon is already reptilian in nature (and some dinosaurs are considered reptiles, just to keep in mind), so that checks out. The armor is nicely designed with the blade and crest of the Digimental visible.

Flamedramon is fire (pun-intended).

—————————————————————–

Hawkmon and Allomon

…Alrighty. I can definitely see a connection to Hawkmon in Allomon…mainly with that large feather that’s sorta like Hawkmon’s and maybe the feathers. However, there is no indication of the Armor and having it be Allomon (based on the Allosaurus) is a bit of a bad choice. Other prehistoric animals that can fit better for Hawkmon would be ones that could have possessed feathers, like the Wulong.

Some illustrations of the Wulong showed a curved toe (not unlike the Deinonychus), so maybe this version of Hawkmon’s Courage Armor could have the Armor’s blade located at the toes as the ‘terrible claw’.

—————————————————————–

Armadillomon and Boarmon

Yeah. I don’t like it. Again, no indication of the armor or how it can be connected to Armadillomon. Really, what can make stuff like this work would be having the ears resemble Armadillomon’s (like with Submarimon) and have the fur color match Armadillomon’s color. The Armor can be placed in a way like the armored wildboars in World of Warcraft and/or to still resemble Armadillomon’s armor. The tusks could be changed to the blade.

…What? Oh! Prehistoric! Well, there were prehistoric boars, such as the Megalochoerus and Entelodonts. I’m not sure if either coulda had tusks, but ya know. Creative liberties and all that.

————————————————————–

Patamon and Baromon

I…huh?!?!?!?

What is this?!

I don’t even know where to begin with the redesigning and reimagining! So, scrap the whole thing (ie, Baromon is his own thing).

What prehistoric animal could resonate with Patamon…

Well, there’s the Synthetoceras. I just realized that I might be deviating a bit from the ‘dinosaur’ theme. However, I am sticking with ‘prehistoric’. Cuz, honestly, I can’t find dinosaurs that could help deviate things a little for the other Digimon.

Anyways. Synthetoceras. I typed ‘prehistoric antelope’ and among the results was this fella. I can see ways some resemblance to Patamon could be placed, plus the Armor.

————————————————————–

Gatomon and Lynxmon

The purple markings on the face and ears does help with a loose connection, but that’s about it.

The Issoire lynx is the only example of a prehistoric lynx I could gather. It is believed that the Iberian lynx could be a descendant of the Issoire lynx, so maybe this version of Lynxmon could bare more similarities to the Iberian lynx (like having the long tufts of fur her cheeks) and, similar to the reimagine Boarmon, have most of the fur be white to match Gatomon and add a bit of Sabertooth in there, but replace the fangs for the blades, like reimagined Boarmon’s tusks.

—————————————————————

Wormmon and Shadramon

Honestly…it’s fine. Just make the dark green a few shades lighter to resemble Wormmon, change the eyes to blue, and there you go. Not sure where to put the blade though…

And to keep up with the prehistoric theming…again, nothing much to do. Insects such as moths, butterflies, and dragonflies haven’t really changed much over the years…except for size. Supposedly, the size of an insect is tethered to the amount of oxygen in the air. Back when there was more oxygen (like 300 million years ago), insects were HUGE!

So, nothing to change here, really, except for some slight color changes.

Original Digimon: Aquilamon evolutions

I think it’s a wasted opportunity that the only 02 partner Digimon with a dedicated full evo line is Wormmon (even if that line came from media other than 02). I decided to make my own, starting with Aquilamon.

Wuchowsemon. Level: Perfect/Ultimate. Attribute: free. Field: Wind Guardians. Type: Giant Bird. Wuchowsemon is a colossal bird with wings wreathed in swirling wind. It lives on a mountain at the western edge of the Digital World and each flap of its wings creates gusts of wind that affect the weather of the entire Digital World. Legend says that the wind it created caused destruction across the Digital World until a hero defeated it in battle. The band on its left leg was attached by the hero and restricts its power, preventing it from causing excessive destruction with the wind it creates. Its special moves are releasing a gale of destructive wind by flapping its wings (Tempest Gale) and charging the foe with its horns (Great Glide Horn).

Animikiimon. Level: Ultimate/Mega. Attribute: free. Field: Wind Guardians. Type: Divine Bird. It is the largest of all bird Digimon and accepts no master, valuing freedom above all else. Its body is wreathed in stormclouds and a storm follows it wherever it flies. Only on rare occasions will it disperse the clouds and allow others to approach. Because of this, many Digimon do not realize it is a bird type instead of a living storm. Animikiimon is revered across the Digital World as the god of weather, but it does not desire or respond to worshipers. It is said that Animikiimon’s left head looks to the sky and its right head examines the ground below. Because of this, it has a great knowledge of the Digital World. Its special moves are summoning a storm to destroy the foe with lightning, wind, and hail (Fury of the Storm) and crushing the foe with its incredible mass (Falling Skies).

I like the native American design elements of Hawkmon and Aquilamon, so when designing new evolutions, I turned to mythology. While taking inspiration form myths, I tried to avoid directly copying symbols from those cultures.

Wuchowsemon is based on the Wuchowsen (also called Wochowsen, Wajosen, Wotjou'san, etc), a figure found in the myths of multiple cultures including the Abnaki, Penobscot, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, and Mi'kmaq. Its name means wind-bringer and it is said to be a giant eagle that sits on a mountain at the edge of the sky and creates the wind by flapping its wings. In many stories, it creates devastation with its wind, so a hero goes to kill it. However, it turns out the world needs wind, so the hero is forced to being the Wuchowsen back to life, but will bind it or damage one wing so the wind isn’t as strong. I referenced this myth in Wuchowsemon’s description.

Animikiimon is based on the thunderbird, a motif from many cultures all across North America with many, many different depictions and stories about it. It is usually depicted as a giant bird that is associated with weather, particularly thunderstorms. The two heads and colorful patterns on Animikiimon’s body are inspired by Haida depictions of the thunderbird. Its name comes from Animikii, the Anishinaabe name for the thunderbird. I would have used Thunderbirdmon, but that’s already taken.

Previous original Digimon: music line, cyborg dragon line, plant dragon line, vampire line, snake/naga line, machine line, fish line, moth line, owl line, Aztec line, hermit crab line.

I would like to see that next gen Royal Knights that was a plot point in a different game a few years back and then never happened

Jesmon was stated to be planned as a middle point between the original knights and a new group

I would also like to see Hawkmon and Armadillomon get new evolutions that become members. Veemon gets two and a half seats (Imperialdramon Paladin Mode is the founder, but not a member) while those two are usually forgotten or left out

Pururumon, Poromon, Hawkmon, Rinkmon, Silphymon, Fujinmon

I have so many favorites this wasn’t easy! Especially when it comes to rookies! xD

Got roped into a wedding party this weekend. Gave me ideas to dress up Jet for it too. Babi don’t seem too happy about it tho. ;u;

Pururumon -> Poromon -> Hawkmon -> Aquilamon -> Silphymon -> Valkyrimon

Summer’s winding down, so here are some of my favorite Digimon enjoying a cool summer night.
