Magknight

Knight series Pokemon

The Knight series is a set of experimental, re-engineered Pokemon, created to test out new technologies in the field of bio-engineering. They were made with Warfare purposes in mind, although they were never meant to be deployed since in comparison their abilities would still be lacking. Instead, the results of the experiment would be used to further improve the technology for the development of the Soldier and Artillery series.

The aim of the treatment was two-fold. One, to significantly increase the natural ability and two, to incorporate the Steel element in the Pokemon. For the Soldier series and beyond, this would also include fusing human weaponry with it as well.

Knight Series I: Magknight
Base: Magneton

The first experiment primarily focussed on enhancing the Pokemon's abilities, so a Steel Pokemon was used for it. Using a specially made Evolution Stone, it was essentially forced into an unnatural evolution. In truth, there was no goal other then succeeding with this evolution, so the highly effective form was great additional success.

Magknight can use large, but highly accurate magnetic fields to control its shield and the six swords that are sheathed into it. While it moves very little under most circumstances it is highly mobile, even capable of separating its limbs, although it seems to have a strong disliking for this action. The only exceptions are the four magnets to the side of its head, which it often uses to try and trap opponents.

However, as an early prototype, its obedience is less than satisfactory, despite the base having been well trained. It is believed that the evolution is currently very painful and the new form causes a lot of stress for the Pokemon. In the future we will have to find a way to subdue the Pokemon's will entirely.

---

The first in a series, if I ever come around to modelling the others. There are a total of six in the Knight series.
Magknight (Magneton-based)
Graknight (Onix-based)
Cyaknight (Wheezing-based)
An as of yet unnamed Scyther-based one
Uknight (Cloyster+Torkoal-based)
Midknight (Ghost/Steel type, no base)

If I finish these, perhaps I'll actually design the Soldier series and above as well. Also, expect another 'Experiment photo' render later on.
