#buck and davey are so funny because in Any Other Scenario they would be low tier team rocket ass annoyances at worst

Sorry if this is something I've missed before, but what kind of villainous weaponry do the guys pack/used to be packing?

this is an interesting one cause I really was just thinking about this recently! Buck and Davey are an unusual case for villains of their caliber/notoriety, because unlike a lot of other villains that'd be considered "on par" with them, they're really more... performers, in a way? Buck in particular has a lot of "weaponry" built into his mech that's either purely for show (ie. Big Ol Gunz that basically just flash and make sound and don't fire anything, like something you'd see at a theme park) or only incidentally a weapon/built for other purposes (ie. big buzzsaws that LOOK like they'd be weapons, but are actually more for cutting through blockades or breaking into buildings). Everything he uses is designed to put on a big, scary show that makes him LOOK super villainous and dangerous with minimal actual injuries or casualties beyond property damage.

Davey, on the other hand, is the combat guy, but very similarly is operating mostly with the intent to intimidate and incapacitate, and his expertise is in hand-to-hand, so his tech's built around that. Before he worked with Buck his gear was what I can only describe as "what if moon shoes and rock-em-sock-em gloves were Evil Junk Tech", basically working to let him move faster and hit harder. Now his big junk prosthetic is more or less fulfilling the same purpose, though he's also able to load scrap into the blender and use it to shoot projectiles - mostly he uses that if they're being pursued by vehicles, or if they get into a scrap with one of those annoying Bulletproof Superheroes that need a li'l something extra on top of Punch In The Face.
