I think the damage to himself is already done.

As for the skins, I've only bought the Officer Lonestar one, but my brother has Clunk and I quite like them both (definitely love Clunks, makes me want to play him myself now). My only gripe with the Lonestar one is that the shirt just looks a bit too plain. The waistcoat on the Sheriff model adds a nice bit of contrast by mixing the lighter tones of the undershirt with the darker tones of said waistcoat. The Officer model just has the one tone, and as a result looks a bit too plain. I honestly can't think of anything I'd have done to the design to change that however. That doesn't make it a bad skin however.

I really don't care for the Gnaw and Coco skins, the Gnaw skin IMO doesn't look anywhere near as nice as I thought it would from the artwork, and the Coco skin looks exactly as disappointing as I imagined it would. It just looks so dull IMO, and removes some of the features I liked the most about the old model like the glowing goggles.

I'd like the Derpl skin if it didn't cover his eyes up, as his undulating glazed eyes were one of my favourite features on Derpl.

For when he flips his sword into the other hand and informs you that he's not right-handed.

Also Coco's skin is great. It's simple, clean, and appropriately thematic. She doesn't need lens flares everywhere and a flaming surf board, which is what you guys seem to have wanted.

That being said, look out for Lens Flares n' Flamez Coco, coming soon

I was kinda feeling the same way. The Derpl, Lonestar, Clunk, Voltar skins seem like they put a lot of effort into making them "cool"(especially Derpl). I would like the Coco skin a lot more if it made her blaze trail leave electric flowers or something instead of the tiny effect to the ball and from her body. Seeing the complete change of cat's for Derpl, missiles for Clunk, and the awesomeness of Lonestar siren bull has me wanting a bit more.


Just seems like more time was spent into detailing certain awesomenauts over others. Like the hoverboard is really completely plain wood when the screenshot of her board has maori like carvings on it. Even her old board had engravings/lines on it.. I'd be happy enough if her blaze trail was changed into flowers, just add some visual oomph that Derpl, Clunk, Voltar has.

Derpl has the best skin IMO.

I've certainly seen some quite weird opinions in what people enjoy and don't enjoy, however it is clear that many opinions will differ, as is their nature! ;) Some people swear by Yuri's being their top favorite, others say it is highly unoriginal. It's down to a matter of taste.

I personally wish there was more of a wood texture on Coco's surfboard, maybe a bit more of a wave effect under it, but other than that, I really enjoy Coco's. Where as I myself don't enjoy Officer Lonestar all that much, preferring the cowboy look. To each their own. :)

I know, lmao. It's just that it seems like a better upgraded version of his previous skin rather than a different appearance, which I would also say of Clunk's new skin, but his doesn't add quite as much detail as Derpl's does.

I also agree with the people saying Coco's skin is terrible, it has so little detail compared to the basic skin. Even the board lacks any kind of detailing. Lonestar's skin needs to customize his gun like the other character's new skins do.

All Clunk needs is an eye patch, then we can shout "Metal Geeeeeear!" in [All Chat] all the time. Oh, wait, I already do that whenever I get a kill with the explosion... ;)

The skirt has a nice bit of shading though, it's enjoyable enough to look at. I do agree wholeheartedly as to the board though, sadly it is naught but a wooden oval at the moment. I truly expected it to be the best of the skins after seeing the concept art, all the grand wood engraving and stellar waves.

Though I can understand why Coco looks as she does, surf board aside. She is very monochromatic in her purple-ness. Take away parts of the clothing and her goggles, and it becomes more noticeable.

A custom gun for Lonestar, eh? That could be interesting! An old revolver or something of the likes.

I've updated the image in the OP. Replaced all the ones taken in Sorona so they're not washed out.

I thought something was a little fishy! ;) I went ahead and edited my statement about Coco's skirt not looking too great on the Blue Team, seeing as it was just the image on page 1 playing tricks. Now I can say they both look nice.
