-1 to cognify self.
I don't like the idea of changing what shadenight gave us. He made us human for a reason, even having our whole background with Chemista that hates everything non-monstruous.
Some reasons I don't think self-cognification is a good idea:
-Spoils what shadenight gave us. Had we done this earlier, the whole Knighthowl story would have been different.
-We probably would lose our ability to summon the Cog Armor, or at least be unable to ride it. If we merge our body with it, we may be "de-summoned" with it. And seriously, we may have some serious badass abilities that we dont know of and being a cog may screw those.
- It may not be as awesome as fully equipping the Cog Armor with flamethrowers and bladed boomerangs (which would be pretty damn AWESOME).
- It will take us closer to Silver: He's a master of the cogs. If we become a cog he may have some kind of influence over us. Not to mention our father is also a Cog Master and we probably will have negative points fighting him just because we're a cog.
- We are a control overlord. It's easy to walk among people and do covert operations if we're human. We haven't done many of those, but throwing this away (considering we are the only human that can be trusted, since we don't employ humans) would be disable every kind of covert operations just because we can't even fool the most retard of guards.
So i kinda think this to be a bad idea.
Edit: Speaking of flamethrowers and boomerangs, we could forge some high-pressure, pneumatic silver hammers for the guardogs. Give it to some, test in our future Training Grounds, and call them the Hammer Guard. Enemies flying and exploding on the floor is good for morale.
