Boomers aren't that higly organic as described and shown in BGC 2040, in the original from kenichi sonoda and in the early AD Police files they just had a FEW parts organic material fused to robotics what made them atleast cybernetic, or in BGC simply called to "cyberdroids", mainly organic brains are the base to calculate A.I. and the rest of the body or a standart boomer like service droids, worker boomers and such, and atleast tuned ones of the mega corporations like genom for testing purposes or illegal serial sellings of combat boomers to 3th world countries.
Atleast i would love to see some of the old boomer designs beeing developed and moddet to fit your mod just like the BU 55c or especially the BU 12-b combat boomer cause they have a mass produce unit look and really could fit TS.
On the following link you can find a few of the old boomer images http://www.knightsabers.de/crisis/boomer/boomer.html
Plus i think westwoon once have watched BGC too because of the OMS overmind control system that's synchronized with an ioncannon like sattelite system ^^ just for the reccord of cnc inspiring theories. _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT

Thanks blubb. Yeah I know that they weren't highly organic, but their look when they go berserk is highly organic, specially in BGC 2040; this is design wise, since they're obviously made of synthetic parts. Anyways it was the easier and faster to way to explain what I was referring
BGC Tokyo 2040 berserk boomers would fit better with CABAL, since they look more like cyborgs; though don't worry you will find units varying from pure mechanical monstrosities to reanimated corpses with the aid of cybernetic technology.
BTW every concept for CABAL units will be fused with original CABAL concepts by Westwood. And of course, with the creative touch of the member who works in it
EDIT:
Forgot to thanks our viewers, more than 1000 views of this topic, thanks for viewing our mod, and your support. QUICK_EDIT
ah btw just for another reccord, synthetics were the basic new main parts of a newer boomer technology dr. stingray worked on before he died, the developed serial type was the BU 55c, in the older series genom has tested various types of boomers, the BU 55c was able to "fuse" with dead materials, that gave him also an organic look body part wise, i can remember that he melt one of his arms with a chaingun that he ripped off of an AD Police chopper.
bah enough story telling, i'm looking positive forward to this mod and hope it doesn't dies like most mods do. _________________ Hydraw Art on Facebook QUICK_EDIT

No it isn't, since It was "eating" someone though technically it wouldn't eat, instead it would use it's arms and jaws to tear enemy infantry apart
:hmm: cyborg infantry units will be like this; I mean a gross mix between human and machine; though I'm planning a nice fully mechanical look for cyborg vehicles; though they'll be cyborgs too, but just use organic components as internal pieces, especially the brain used as a support data processing unit; and their designs won't have a nice and recognizable human form.
However, for Nod's infantry cyborgs, they'll look like heavy armored infantry units; Nod's cyborg vehicles will have similar characteristics, though I'm planning things like a bigger number of arms and legs, they'll be bigger, but still recognizable as former humans.
BTW; I'm calling the evil and not buildable cyborgs, cyborgs just because, it has been agreed over the years to call them like that, though in RO a cyborg is strictly controlled by a human brain and assisted by computers. In the other case, they won't receive a specific technical name, but they'll be called cybernetic horrors, abominations, etc. QUICK_EDIT

IDK, I think they'd be better as sleek looking borg bots, instead of contorted and hideous monstrosties

OMG, after the little conversation I had with Corsair about SC, I guess that SC has a big influence in my designs; just looked at my hydralisk figure over the subwoofer and my design really looks like a cyborg version of it
BTW the evil cyborg infantry will have looks similar to this one QUICK_EDIT

Carryall concept. I have to admit, this is the laziest drawing I ever made!
no coloring, no shading, just lines.
Carrtall is my favorite unit in TS BTW, so I'm going to try and make the voxel for TS:RO look extra spiffy (when I have the time to work on it, that is )
Cool concepts you guys have so far. a couple of comments though. not to hard knock you guys but a couple suggestions.
@Blackster.
== major issue is perspective, you are pretty close but. theres alot of lines strewn in there and it just make it harder to read your concept.
Some other views would be helpful also since looking at a perspective view is kinda hard to gauge what the unit really looks like..
@Machine:
You have good drawing skills. push your rendering skills further, that color job looks pretty snazzy.
I say add more more views....aswell. check out character turn arounds what I mean by that, if your not familar with that format.
and keep those perspective/anatomy issues in check.
Well thats all I have to say.
good luck with the mod . _________________ Delirium.. QUICK_EDIT

Well that's mostly because I'm lazy .
The art I've posted here is mostly just for my personal reference for basic shape for when I make the voxels (On my sig are examples)... this is why they're so sloppy, and, eh, done in Paint.
For the pics in your sig, before you cut them out change the background colour to black or the blue colour that the writing is in, then cut and paste it to another paint canvas, then change the background to white, the edges will then just fade into the black or the darker colour of your choosing. this way it gets rid of the white outline once there cut and pasted on to the background of the sig. You probably wont believe it but my sig was done in paint lol . QUICK_EDIT

heh lol...yeah, my sig is just a temporary 5 minute-job.
Don't worry, soon's we get the next TS:RO internal pre-alpha completed i'm going to take some screens and make a real sig in photoshop. _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

Sorry for the lack of updates, as some of you might know, I had recently problems with my "modding" PC, it's motherboard died (Yeah, I know that I said before that it was the graphics car, but I was wrong).
I was able to post sporadically using another PC (an old Pentium II which is really unstable). But now I "fixed" my PC, so RO can continue normally.
I'm hoping to upload the next internal alpha this weekend, so we can show you at last some screenshots.
Anyways I had a lot of "free time", recently, which I wasted, some of it, making concepts; so here you have 2 small concepts
Cyborg Reaper
A Nod's Cyborg Reaper concept, as you see I had, sadly, to get rid of the skull face; the reason for this is that, if you have read the technological descriptions, Nod is no longer using reanimated corpses to make cyborgs, now they're just using heavily wound soldiers to make cyborgs.
Wolverine
GDI's heavy powersuit (name pending), this will replace my zone troopers (you will still see them, in an upgraded way, as GDI's law enforcing units).
This powersuit will have variable weapons systems during the campaign, in the form of commandos wearing different types of it. Last edited by Machine on Mon Dec 17, 2007 8:34 pm; edited 1 time in total QUICK_EDIT

that is absolutely hideous! nice work Corsair
I saw some old Cabal concepts Westwood was planning to make, and this one caught my eye, since it had some considerable resemblance to out tripod borg here _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

See, doesn't that picture just want to make you kill it?
The machine in that link looks nothing like I expected, just first thing in my mind when I think of CABAL is cyborgs I guess
Its still not something I'd want coming after me _________________ Im Westen Nichts Neues QUICK_EDIT

I saw the cyborgs before; I guess that we could give them a selection voice that said in, a normal tone, "kill me", the other voices should be highly robotic in nature
About the APC, close it's top, give it a machinegun, and that would be all.
BTW, are we, the staff members, the only ones who visit this?
2 weeks to more, then winter vacations QUICK_EDIT

Soon's we make some announcements, we'll get some attention -
Soon's we get something worth announcing, we can make some announcements!
Yea, I'll get to work on that Hover transport, unless Corsair wants to put up those changes that Machine suggested? _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story

By the way, make the APC kind of large, something borderline realistic... not overly large, but not too small... I always felt the original APCs just didnt look right unloading a squad of soldiers 3/4 the size of the APCs
The size of all the other vehicles are fine, it just bugs me about the APC
Hows this design (sort of ignore the turretlike thing on top of the APC for now, its an idea Team Black and I are messing with)
GDI Hover APC _________________ Im Westen Nichts Neues QUICK_EDIT
Sorry for the double post, and feel free to delete these posts if there's too many pictures
Robotic Wolverine
Kind of like a remote controlled Wolverine, old drawing/idea
Hover APC
An APC I don't like so much
GDI Barracks Strider Hover Recon Vehicle
Another version of the recon hover vehicle
GDI Trooper
Team Black feels that the picture looks odd, but whatever _________________ Im Westen Nichts Neues QUICK_EDIT

Crewman is definitely going to be used, as crewman infantry
I like the HoN sketch looks quite original, though a bit GDIsh, however moving the hand from the center to a side, gives it uniqueness
Barracks is going to be used as GDI barracks, but it has missing droppod designs.
I like the robotic wolverine, I'll find a use4d for it.
About the other units I dunno, since I don't want to add too many units, but they could be used as special units for missions.
And don't worry Corsair, I'll start to work again on the mod really soon (just a week) QUICK_EDIT

wow cool, but i just noticed u know ur heavty apc it looks like a thunderhawk gunship(well atleast the front) _________________ U flame me the evangelion series will kill u QUICK_EDIT
Well, I actually just put that up for reference for any future units
I redid the Hover APC, so the one we're talking about is really "scrapped"
However, if you want to keep it then that will be fine too
