Discussion: Weaponry

[Shikkakku]

So we have 3 types of weapons used on-screen. For lack of better terms:

1. Vibro Double-Blade
   
   • Two blades, one wide and one more pointy at opposite ends.
   • Can split into 2 parts
   • Per BTS special there is some sort of lighting on both blades, possibly purple EL wire.
     
2. Electro-Halberd
   
   • Single-blade on top of a long pole. The pole itself looks rectangular as opposed to round, but hard to tell from screenshots. All the other weapons are rectangular in nature so if the theme continues, I think the halberd pole will be horizontal as well.
     
   • Length is just above shoulder height?
     
     
   • Purple EL wire/tubing is used to provide lighting along the back of the blade.
     
     
     
3. Electro-sword
   
   • Sword consists of 6 light-up segments along with a hilt and tip. The tip can also light-up
     
   • The hilt itself is rectangular in nature with a distinct pommel with a hole and square/rectangle handguard
     
   • The weapon can split into a whip-configuration and can keep its lighting effects.
     
   • This weapon has the most uncertainty. Are the segments rectangular, or cylidrical in a 3x1 or 2x2 configuration, like the TLJ-PG Chain-whip? Are there any details on the hilt?

Thus, given that:

1. Weapons are always an optional accessory in formal CRLs
2. The TLJ-Praetorian weapons are sparse on specific greeblies and detailing.
3. The lighting can be turned on and off

I propose the following for the CRL:
Optional Accessories Clause

• Items below are optional costume accessories. These items are not required for approval, but if present appear as described below. If adding in an accessory after initial approval, the item still needs to be submitted to local GML for approval before use.

Vibro Double-Blade

• This weapon consists of two blades on each end of a slighly curved hilt. One blade is wider and bigger than the other.
• The weapon is painted in a light gray overall, with darker grey details and silver metallic blades.
• The weapon can be wielded either as one piece, or as two separate pieces.
• OPTIONAL: If lighting is to be added, it must be purple in colour and match the visual references from the show.

Elctro-Halberd

• This weapon consists of a single wide blade on top of a pole.
• The weapon is painted in a light gray overall, with darker grey details and silver metallic blades.
• OPTIONAL: If lighting is to be added, it must be purple in colour and match the visual references from the show.

Electro-sword

• This weapon consists of 6 segments on top of one another. There is a tip at one end and a rectangular hilt with a hardguard at the other end.
• The weapon is painted in a light gray overall, with darker grey details and silver metallic blades.
• The weapon can be used in a single sword-like configuration, or as a whip configuration.
• OPTIONAL: If lighting is to be added, it must be purple in colour and match the visual references from the show.

New information: per this thread viewtopic.php?p=32817#p32817

The vibro double-blade will now be renamed to "Vibro-arbir" per toy reference images. If the pattern is consistent, then the halberd will probably be called "Electro-bisento" and the whip sword called "Electro-bilari chain whip" like with the TLJ-Praetorian, but I'd rather wait for a reference before changing the CRL draft.
