Thouser's Design (Was KR Zero-One 19 released)

[DeMatgic]

So someone made an edit recently to match Thouser up with the beta concept's colors and it made me realize how much I'm not a fan of Thouser's design:
Edit (though I much prefer the black mouthplate and horns)


vs Actual


In a show where every rider and almost every form uses bright and/or hella saturated colors (even Horobi uses a noticeably deep purple color, and Assault Wolf has reds and saturated blues to contrast the navy), Thouser kinda sticks out like a sore thumb with his muted gold and dark purple highlights. And if they didn't want to use blue, they could at least make the purple more like Horobi's.

oh right, I probably should've made it a separate thread in the first place

woops

It is strange, because I definitely remember seeing prototype images of both colours prior to debut and them flip flopping.

I do think that the purple goes better with the gold and black than the blue does though.

I kinda like the blue though, but feel like Cross-Z already covered that color scheme within recent years

The darker gold I also enjoy because it reminds me of Beet Busters suit, which doesn't come across as gaudy than if it was a brighter gold.

I dunno, the gaudiness kind of fits Gai considering he wears all off-white clothes 24/7, and shills his own company with most every attack and transformation of his.

The purple, however, I will agree looks better (and also gives Thouser a unique visor color instead of sharing it with Vulcan).

I'd like to see what it would look like with the bright gold and the black/purple accents
