Akonkid:
Bravo!
I love the sample images/requests of Unity Supreme and Unity Beta with a "unitized" Valiant Girl.
Is this a harbinger of the upcoming sequel to the fantastic Unity series? Are you going to pick up where you left off with the "alternate ending" version of Unity or with the conventional ending?
Either way, I know many of us (if not all) await the sequel or upcoming mini-episodes of Unity drones from yourself and Doc Robo.
Introducing Metrobay heroines into the mix would be most exciting, adding yet another dimension to the saga. Valiant Girl, Alpha Woman, Ms. Metrobay and Brown Sugar could certainly benefit from a Unity makeover and kept in service for a long long time...in addition to our Legue of Liberty of course returning to "droned-ness" as soon as possible.
I was recently mulling over where to pick up and I thought you could start from Maya's reverting to her droned self at the end of the Unity saga. Unity Max rises from bed with red eyes gleaming, marches stiffly robiticly to the adjoining room to find her sleeping colleagues; Trish and Vanessa, on the couches. She touches each with her "charged" hands, reactivating their circuitry, resulting in two "re-drones"; Unity 21 and Unity 25. The three now reconfigured drones line up stiffly awaiting something. An hour later while the drones wait stiffly at attention in the dark, a flash of green neon light brightens the room and moments later Unity Supreme materializes, teleported in from the Unity spaceship.
As it turns out Unity Supreme and Unity itself have survived the blast (along with other drones on board). Their ship was thrown out into space thousands of miles by the blast but has survived it, repaired itself, rebooted all the drones and Unity himself is now very much back in the "driver's" seat with his queen. They now want vengance on the League as well as the Metrobay heroines. They intend to be even more devious and manipulative this time. Unity wants all the superheroine's as his drones and intends to have them. His methods will be more ruthless, controlling and permanent this time! To start the process Unity Supreme has returned and wants to use her three former Femcops to infiltrate the League again, acquire more Femcops and trick the superheroines back into the fold, starting with GoldenGirl, Emerald Tiger and Kat Krusader, of course.
How 'bout having all the drones now wear corsets like Emerald Tiger wears in her standard uniform (maybe black or grey) and changing thier boots to balletboots with 5" heels. They are drones after all, they can walk and balance on anything, Unity's in control and he can have them behave any way he likes.
Unity Supreme will go into stealth mode, pretending to be Suprema once again, having escaped and survived the blast and now returning to her friends in the League. Little do they know what she and Unity have in store for them. (with the former Femcop drones, of course).
Well that's me humble opinion and ideas.
I think Unity is definitely one of the best mind control sequences ever done, second only to Twisted Tales/Hostile Takeover.
I know most of all of us fans of Hipcomix/Mccomix look forward to any and all great art and stories of Unity from Doc and Akonkid.
Thank you in advance...and I know I can't wait, I'm sure my fellow afficianados out there can't either.
regards,
Bluemax
