Canine Carrier.  Cargo Dog.  Sentro!


Hello folks! This is a project I'd been willing to launch, I had a thread for it in Idea Engineering but there wasn't that much buzz in it, hopefully this will give it more attention. It's another side project for me, another joke/boss-type character. It's the first boss from the NES Jetsons game! To see him in action in his original environment, please click the videolink below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcUOBqwhp-A&feature=youtu.be&t=3m9s

As you can see, it's main attack is opening the hatch from his belly, and a drone which attacks you, ejects from it.
I wanted to take this concept further. That dog could house anything in it's body!

Now, the idea was to involve you (yes YOU!) in this project, by spriting little drones.
These drones could be anything from an enemy from a Megaman game, or any other series or movie.
The only requirement would be that it's something mechanical, and doesn't go beyond a certain size so it can actually fit inside the dog, and lastly that it at least somewhat matches the sprites style of the dog. So using enemies from Megaman would be alright, as long as you redraw them to match the spritestyle, like I did below. This also means robotic variants of organic creatures are alright. As for the drones, I think it might be fun to share their palettes to that of the dog, so they have a bit of a uniform look to them. And it will be madness to include every enemy sprite in a palette template!

You can make it as easy or hard on yourself as you'd like, really. When submitting a drone, please follow the general description featured below. With that said, please consider contributing and have FUN! Then after a while we'll have to find someone crazy enough to code this ;)

*The following section will be continuesly updated.

Atomic Cossack Dance (add buster rocket fire on the back, like in the ROLLER example)



That's all I could possibly think of, with such a small possible size.

After a while of shooting, they home in on the enemy once more but this time they self-destruct upon impact.
B...but that's not accurate to Gundam! D:

but that's really the only way to end the attack, since it wouldn't really work for them to return to the dog.

I'm gonna have to find some sound effects too, preferable some higher quality ones.

Great to see Canine Carrier man. The Jetsons was one of my favorites back in the days. I could give you some idea's and/or suggestions.

Since Canine Carrier is a robot dog, you could use a Megaman idea.

Eddie comes wich drops an item and goes away like he does for Megaman.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

Canine Carrier could maybe transform in a car or any other thing wich is actually Megaman's buddy Rush's move. You can maybe make Rush appear in a Super orso. Even a Rush wich has grey colors like Canine Carrier could do the trick. A modified version for the super move.

I don't really want to add anything to the dog itself, I already gave him fancy side guns! The idea is that he just unloads lots of enemy drones at you, which should result in sort of a 'survival maze' type of situation.

Added mini Mech Zangief to the first post.

No big deal there man. I have made a small update for Giru wich is from Dragonball GT (GBA).
Used your Canine Carrier colors on him. He could come out flying or floating wich are his first two sprites. You can use whatever you like.

He can do a missle shot or just spin around. If he fits of course, he can use one of the two moves.

That looks quite usable! I might tweak the sprites a little (especially the twirling/flying one) and then it's good to go.
I guess a drone can have two attacks for some variety, it'll make them more threatening.

Also added the cannon cart to the first post.

Sure, that'll work nicely! I'll edit the sprites a little (I don't like the black pixels in the throwing animation), then add it!

double post of doom.

Chelnov - Trio the Puncher


The idea is: he jumps from the hatch, then the giant hammer uses a scale code (better do this by scale) to form it quickly.
Chelnov doesn't moves, instead he would jump very high (out of the screen) and comes down right on the enemy spot.

About Shy Guy; Eh could be worse, at least he's tiny!

Will see what I'll do with Chelnov, looks like a good addition as well.

Added an animated example of the Funnels to the first post as well.
@Jmorphman, Your thoughts?

Also made this alternate Funnel Launcher (he's got it on both sides but ofc you only see one because of the perspective).
I wanted to make a huge launcher coming out of his hatch in his crouched pose, but I couldn't pull it off, damn angle.
