Well since people seemed to like Killdozer (and really, he's very polite, thoughtful, and friendly being Canadian and all) I mashed the old screenshot button a few (many) times while playing this morning and picked out a few decent ones.
First off: Killdozer is a 90% conversion cyborg. He's really sensitive about the word "robot" and it's probably the best way to end up on his bad side, other than being a villain.
And being on Killdozer's bad side is a very unhealthy passtime.
Killdozer is amazing. You have some awesome characters in that game. I've never played it, but those look rad as hell.
The actual gameplay can become an aside to the not-so-secret sub game of making and designing characters. It's like making paper dolls crossed with playing barbie crossed with drawing your own comic book on meth, crack, steroids and pop rocks. Or something. Basically making characters is really fun.

When I was trying out the free trial that's all I did. I think I made like 8 characters my first day. Then I thought, "I should actually play this game."
It's just awful. I really want Cryptic to be good at designing games, but they just aren't.

It's kind of like when the Spore Creature Creator was released and people spent weeks making creatures, and then the game was released and people were like "meh".
The heck are you guys talking about? CO is loads of fun, probably the most fun combat in any MMO, especially with a gamepad and Pony's controls. It has its issues, but not being fun isn't one of them.

That game was so disappointing.
I had more fun with the veichle and building creators then I did with the actual gameplay.
I wasn't saying CO wasn't fun. The trial is just so short* that I didn't really feel hooked. I mean, I did the trial content in like an hour or so. So I used the rest of my trial period making characters.
*It went until the part where you choose to go to Canada or somewhere else. Right after you defend the city from aliens and then go into the big building and clear some stuff up.

That's why you ask someone to send you a real trial, which gives you full access to the game for 10 days.
I thought it was a pretty huge disaster when I played the trial. It ran like dogshit on my machine (which was a solid system at the time), yet still managed to look like dogshit too. The movement and combat just felt off and the skill system was incomprehensible for someone just logging in and wanting to play.
It basically felt as janky as City of Heroes did when it launched. Which makes sense, but is still disappointing. It felt like they hadn't learned a thing from running an MMO for a few years.
What's this? More gratuitous Champions Online screenshot? Killdozer is turning into quite the camwhore, always asking me if I am remembering to hit the screenshot button while he's fighting.
And then there's him just straight up mugging for the camera.
Fighting an evil Canadian super villain.
The last thing said supervillain remembers seeing prior to waking up in the prison hospital in traction.
And a different mission, fighting a bunch of Viper heavy power armor goons.
And speaking of power armor, I also took a few screenies of my power armor using character.
Wooo, concussion beams.
And more concussion beams. It turns out that most of the best power armor abilities aren't very photogenic (micro munitions, shoulder mounted gattling gun) because they involve little projectiles moving very quickly. Oh well, it's a fun set you'll just have to trust me on that.
I'd say take his Canadian styled one and give it the colors of that one where he has robotic boot jumping feet or whatever. I'm apparently too lazy to go back a page to find it.

not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

I know what you mean, I'll take that into consideration for costume #4.
The only thing that doesn't totally work about your suggestion is that you can't recolor the Canadian Flag chest piece (I can use a color-appropriate maple leaf though as a substitute).
I'll join in on the Champions screenshot extravaganza with my current main. (I say that because I have yet to hit lvl 15 on any character since I make a zillion costumes and get to lvl 10 before going back to the character creator. :P)
This is Atomique, which was at first supposed to be Martial Arts character in a power armor, homage to Bubblegum Crisis. But after finishing the design I thought that her costume fit the concept of a Radioactive Blaster better, so I recolored the Fire Emission powerset lime green.
I'm pretty pleased with the result so far. It's super fun melting Desert Crisis' Irradiates with radioactive attacks of my own. Eventually I'll end up picking up some force field powers from the Force Emission powerset and some gizmos from the Gadgeteer powerset to round it all up.
Mesjogge, Malloot & Mafketel the Gibberling brothers, in the foreground is their mighty protector and the only one who seems to have an idea what he's doing, the mighty rat/squirrel Brains.

...and when you are done with that; take a folding
chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.
OK I have given up on trying to stop 'dozer from the gratuitous mugging that occurs whenever he zones into an instance. It's not worth the trouble.
Also: Return to the bookstore of interesting comic shading effects. Enjoy
Bowen this is my take on the suggestions you gave me. Let me know what you think. (Don't judge the visibility of the maple leaf emblem from this shot. This mission has lighting effects unlike anything else in the game, and the chest logo is fully visible in every normal lighting situation).
It's amazing, but somewhere in between all the cam whoring, Killdozer managed to squeeze in some actual crime fighting. That damn satantic librarian must be out on bail after Lightwing arrested him.
It's OK though, he may have survived having all the angry love of Baby Jesus being channeled his way but no one gets up from a Killdozer face beating.

What's formal wear? Killdozer is the official spokesperson for the Canadian National Tractor/Truck Pull Sporting Association*.
He doesn't do formal.

That's pretty much exactly what happened to me.

I see he got a costume update.
He has three costumes. They are mostly the same, with color themes for Canada, the Desert and I use the blue/white/gray one in Millenium City mostly.
The only physical differences is the desert costume has different feet, and the Canada costume shows off his hair.
-edit-
Oops, and the desert costume has a dust mask thingy and goggles, for the sandstorms.
This is all.
The other color style meaning the brown/tan/gray desert one? Because I have like, 3 unused costume slots just awaiting inspiration.
Also, I won a S.P.E.A.R. costume contest last night with Killdozer. Took the prize for "Most intimidating".
I know what you mean, I'll take that into consideration for costume #4.

I'm afraid I'm a graduate of the Parts and Glowy Bits school of heroic construction.
My god. Go Canada!
