TMNT:SSB Foot Elite

A few days ago I was thinking about what I could do with the Foot Elites design and make them more unique and feel more like Shredder’s chosen Elite assassins was to make them all differ from each other in some way. One of my first thoughts was to give them demon masks to make them a lot more terrifying. Their hats, tattered capes and signature weapons would remain. I mean, they're really nice hats! Plus they help unify them as a group as well.

I then had an epiphany: Why not take the Stone Generals from the TMNT (2007) Movie and make them the Shredder’s Elite Guard? Not only does that solve the issue of them having their own look via their silhouette and differing builds, but they’d also have names (since in the movie, only the leader, Aguila, was mentioned by name whilst the others were named in the movie tie-in video game.)

When adapting their designs into the new Foot Elite, I figured a way to make each of them more unique was to have some of their armour, namely the shoulders and forearms, to resemble their designs in the movie. A little tricky but a fun challenge nonetheless.
