About Fan/Funbeemon

Am I correct to assume this is the routes intended in terms of evolution?

Fanbeemon can evo into either Waspmon or Forgebeemon Then Forgebeemon evolves into Cannonbeemon then Queenbeemon, while Waspmon evolves into Vespamon then Tigarvespamon

Am I correct in this assumption? Obviously Digimon digivolve their own unique ways but is this the general idea of it's "Natural" Evolution?

WASP REVIEW - WASPMON, FUNBEEMON, AND CANNONBEEMON (DIGIMON)

[Image IDs: Three official renders of the listed Digimon, those being Waspmon, FunBeemon, and CannonBeemon /End IDs.]

Well, this will be interesting as someone whose only experience with the Digimon franchise is whatever Karina from Drawfee has explained about the franchise. But I'm gonna try my best to understand what we've got going on here, which shouldn't be too difficult! Let's just hop into the deep end here! (Apologies in advance to the Digimon enjoyers)

Starting with Waspmon, this Digimon is very clearly at least mostly mechanical, which I suppose makes my job here a little bit easier, as it's clear they were not going for accuracy. Even still, I do have to point out some things. It seemingly only has one pair of improperly segmented legs (unless those rib-like parts around its mesosoma are legs too), with more human-like hands, and these big armored shoulder plates (supposedly propellers?) that are perhaps only comparable to the large tibiae of shield-handed wasps. They also seem to have only one set of wings but I can't say for sure. The head seems accurate enough, with even the right number of eyes, in the right positions! That's pretty rare! The antennae are a bit too straight, not segmented enough, with feathered ends I've never really seen in a wasp, although they do remind me of some notably different featherings on certain species, such as a number of members of the genus Dendrocerus. There are other things I could point out, like the abdominal spines and laser stinger, but given its mechanical nature, I'll leave it at the fact that the abdomen is too big, with perhaps the closest example I can give in relation to the roundness of the gaster being that of gall wasps!

[Image Sources: bugguide.net, Jim Moore, Wikimedia Commons, S.E. Thorpe, and Flickr, Judy Gallagher | Image IDs: Three photos, one of a black and yellow shield-handed wasp on a white surface, the next of a black specimen of the genus Dendrocerus in front of a white background, the last one of a black and red Cynipid gall wasp on a brown wooden surface /End IDs.]

As for FunBeemon, this one seems a lot more natural on nature, with a very clear inspiration too. Body's properly segmented, the color could stand to be a tiny bit darker though. The correct number of wings, legs, and eyes. But the eyes that are supposed to be compound are these glassy, mammalian eyes, and the legs aren't quite colored or segmented right, with too few claws on most legs as well. The antennae seem to be segmented properly though! Even with little lines that seem to imply the presence of the flagellomeres, not quite clear on that though. The mandibles shouldn't be grey like that, and the head in general is a bit too wide and round. It has the same strange abdominal spines as Waspmon, which shouldn't be there, as I don't believe any species of bee has those. But they did get the "serrated" (barbed) stinger right, even if it is far too thick!

[Image Sources: Jupiter's Wasp House, ie Myself, and Cambridge University | Image IDs: A photo of a black and yellow honey bee on a human hand, followed by four images of a honey bee's stinger viewed on an extremely close up scale /End IDs.]

Finally, when it comes to CannonBeemon... What's going on here? Don't get me wrong here, it's awesome, but it does also look like Polistes dominula got freaky with a FusionFall Shattergun. All bits aside, this Digimon does fall into essentially the same category as Waspmon, it's too mechanical to really bother with the details, this one even moreso. Everything I said about Waspmon's general head area still applies. It has the right wing count, though they are thin for something as heavy as this thing has to be (the Wiki says 38g but I'm not sure about that for something so big and metallic, not gonna lie). It has only four, very short legs, with little grabby hands at the end, which while incorrect is actually pretty cute. The shape is too abnormal to compare to any real wasp, though I do quite like the use of hexagonal cell shapes here in reference to real social bees' and wasps' hive structures. That's about it for that, though.

Now, what about their behaviors? Well, as one might expect, Waspmon is the defensive soldier type, patrolling the viscinity of the hive, being aggressive enough to divebomb Digimon that get too close. Now, I won't deny that wasps do divebomb as an offensive move against potential hive invaders, but they act on far more than distance to the hive, their reaction to an individual's presence is based on a multitude of factors, such as movement/body language, their level of familiarity with the threat, and of course, actual actions taken by the potential threat to harm the hive, among other things. That said, these Digimon do seem to be quite intelligent, as the wiki states "The antenna-parts on its head have high reconnaissance ability", IE they are able to gather information essentially at the level of a special operative. A real wasp can remember quite a lot, though it definitely takes in more than just what it can detect through smell.

CannonBeemon is also a line of defense for the hive, though being much more powerful, both of these Digimon use lasers instead of venom, as you could've probably guessed from their mechanical structures, which is, of course, not true for actual wasps. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that wasps don't fire lasers though. Whether or not these two soldiers hunt for or feed on anything is unclear.

As for FunBeemon, it also doesn't seem to be out gathering food either, but it does gather some materials, those being bits of "home data", to build up the hive the same way many social Hymenopterans would gather wood, dirt, or the material needed to make wax. This Digimon gets along well with plant Digimon, which should probably be the case for all the rest of them too but whatever. These ones, too, also attack... With projectiles, they fire off their stingers like arrows. This is a surprisingly common thing amongst representations of stinging Hymenopterans in media? strange... They also have a second ability to summon allies, which is unfortunately, for whatever reason, referred to as "88 Call". Apparently this is because 8 in Japanese can be read as "Hachi", which is also a word that refers to eusocial Hymenopterans, like honey bees, but of course, two eights can also be read in a far, far worse way. Different potential connotations aside, the description of this move says that FunBeemon summons allies with its antennae, which, as far as I know, the alarm pheromones of bees are not produced in or near the antennae.

Back to the material gathering and building of the hive though! It turns out that FunBeemon isn't the only one who helps to build the hive, as it's aided by-

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! - FORGEBEEMON

[Image ID: The official render of ForgeBeemon /End IDs.]

This guy! Not much to say here in terms of accuracy, as I don't think they're really trying for that here. But I do really love that they accounted for its ocelli in the mask design! Coulda used a bit more space around the compound eyes though. It's got antennae, which aren't segmented right, but they're present, and bend in the right place. It also has wings that are even tinier than CannonBeemon! Its two moves are also defense by way of offense, with a saw-like stinger, and two extra robotic arms that can produce a powerful electric discharge.

It's not called a "Forge" for nothing, either, as these bees are the ones that take materials and bond them together with an adhesive called "Honey Glue" (Don't think that's how that works, but oh well) that's produced in its abdomen, much like how honey bees produce wax!

[Image Source: Hive And Honey Apiary | Image ID: A photo of a black and yellow honey bee producing wax from its abdominal glands /End IDs.]

But, if they have a hive, and live in the same eusocial manner as some real honey bees and vespid wasps, then they must have a Queen! I wonder what it looks like-

HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! - QUEENBEEMON

[Image ID: The official render of QueenBeemon /End IDs.]

... That's just a human woman in a costume... Are y'all sure this is a Digimon?... Well, I mean, it still has absolute power over the hive, so I guess yeah, that's their queen, but... Huh.

Well QueenBeemon gets a badass army and a badass mech chair with venom shot arms and laser turrets at least. Surely that's the end of them and that's all that needs to be s-

HERE COMES A- OK JUST GET IT OVER WITH - VESPAMON AND TIGER VESPAMON

[Image IDs: The official renders of Vespamon and Tiger Vespamon /End IDs.]

Alright, more guys in suits. Human status is less clear given the fact they have no skin showing, but they're definitely humanoid... I can at least comment on the fact they seem to be designed to be male, which, if they're meant to be soldiers/workers too (Where are the drones??) that wouldn't be the case, as the vast majority of male social wasps (including bees) do not have defensive capabilities and don't leave the hive nearly as often as the females.

But that HAS to be it? Right? RIGH-

OH COME ON - HONEYBEEMON, FLYBEEMON, JEWELBEEMON, AND DINOBEEMON

[Image IDs: The official renders of HoneyBeemon, FlyBeemon, JewelBeemon, and DinoBeemon /End IDs.]

... I'm not even gonna bother.

I have been seeing the digigirl zine all over twitter and I have been inspired to make a magical girl series for digimon.

The series would have the humans having a partner digimon that they have bonded with to gain superhuman powers on top of the same powers as their digimon. They are like Marcus from Data Savers where they can fight the evil digimon too alongside their partners.

Digimon evolve the more they fight with their partner. They protect the people from digimon trying to steal their dreams. Digimon have a need to evolve, but without a person's dream, it is not possible. Most digimon are a person's forgotten dream.

A lot of digimon are able to eat bad dreams too. Many are there to protect the humans from these nightmares and prevent more digimon spawning from it.

I think on top of the main digimon like palmon, biyomon, renamon, gatomon, and lunamon, there could be a very new ones for fun.

Morphomon, Mikemon, Quetzalmon, Bulucomon, Waspmon, and Lepoardmon

Some opposing digimon could be Bearmon, Lopmon, Blossomon, Rabbitmon, Butterflymon, and Darcmon

Another part to my explanation of digimon partners for my twst x digimon AU! Part: Ace

So, when I was scrolling through Wikimon, looking for digimon that I could choose for everyone’s partner, when I got to deciding that I was looking for Ace’s partner, I realized. None of them were good for air travel! So I decided that Ace would be the guy with the partner that could fly.

I came across Fun/FanBeemon and thought that it could work. There’s nothing that FunBeemon’s really referencing, honestly, unless you count that FunBeemon’s reference book says that it gets along well with plant like digimon like Palmon and Lilimon. Now this AU would mainly focus on the Freshman, but if Riddle had a digimon, it would definitely be a plant digimon like Palmon, Alraumon or Floramon, so it’s funny to imagine:

Funbeemon and Pal/Alrau/Floramon: chatting happily

Ace and Riddle: Arguing, Ace punching Riddle

So yeah, fun (heh) with that. After that I just decided to give him the full line because it was both easy, and kinda gets what I wanted. Like, Waspmon isn’t really the best for travel, but I do kinda imagine Ace riding her kinda like this:

Of course, that’s not the best way of drawing it, but it is the basic idea.

CannonBeemon is fine though. Very easy air travel. Probably very big though, so wouldn’t be able to fit in tight spaces, but oh well.

I don’t feel like TigerVespamon needs much explanation, so yeah

[hazelplaysgames]

if you want Mega tier Digimon like i, then the ABI stat needs to be increased. the most practical way to do this is by digivolving and de-digivolving, particularly after leveling up at least a little bit. there’s also the Miracle Meat item, but that’s just way too rare and expensive to be reliable. so i figured, “you know what’d be fun? letting my team digivolve into two separate lines and keeping track of all of that.”

i did not do this for Hacker’s Memory. just the one, there.

so here’s everyone’s line 2, up to Ultimate. still not quite enough to hit Mega on these lines, but when they go back to their original lines, they’ll get there. as usual, details beneath the second Keep Reading.

Gearson goes from Motimon to Gotsumon, then Golemon and Volcanomon.

Punio goes from Nyaromon to Salamon, then Gatomon and Angewomon.

Botob goes from Wanyamon to Dorumon, then Cyclonemon and Dorugreymon.

Hestu goes from Koromon to Dracomon, then Coredramon Blue and Wingdramon.

Rafflesia goes from Tanemon to FanBeemon, then Waspmon and CannonBeemon.

lastly, Bubbles goes from Tokomon to Sistemon Blanc, then Sistermon Ciel and LadyDevimon.

Archetype: Royal Base

Debuts: BT-18

Last updated: BT-19

Boss monster: QueenBeemon, TigerVespamon

Main tamer: Winr/Saikiyo

Additional tamers: Kisakata Kousuke, Xu Yulin, Musha Yuuji

Fun thing about the bees: they have like five traits. They're Cyborg, they're X-Antibody, they're Royal Base, half of them are LIBERATOR, and then they're all Rule: Treated as [Insectoid]. What this means is that, even though there's only one in-archetype level 3 right now, you can stock up on searchers. Kokuwamon X-Antibody will hit two out of three on a search. Kokabuterimon will hit one out of four. Never will you hurt for draw power!

The big thing the bees bring to the table as an archetype is the concept of face-up security cards. Previously, your security was always a private area, but the bees can set shields face-up, and many of them have a new type of Security effect that triggers while they're face-up instead of when they're checked.

Tamer Winr/Saikiyo (BT19-084): Gains you a memory at start of main if you have a face-up shield. By suspending him, you can evolve one of your digimon into a face-up shield, then place another bee face-up in security.

Level 2 Puroromon (BT18-004): At the start of your main, you can place a bee face-up to take your top security to the hand (thus gradually accumulating face-up shields while your total security remains the same). Since this triggers no matter what the egg was evolved into, one might consider running Ukkomons to speed up egg usage.

Level 3 FunBeemon (BT18-044): Same effect as Puroromon but as an on-play instead of start of main. Gives a flat +1k on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get +1k.

Level 4 Waspmon (BT18-046): None of your opponent's digimon with less DP than the wasp can swing at security. Gives a flat +1k on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get +1k.

Level 4 ForgeBeemon (BT19-048): When either player's effect would take one of your bees out of the battle area, prevent it by placing this digimon as a face-up shield (without taking your top security to the hand). Gives a flat +1k on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get +1k.

Level 5 CannonBeemon (BT18-052): When evolving or on play, de-evolve one of your opponent's digimon by 1 card for each of your face-up shields. Gives "trash your opponent's top security when you delete an opponent's digimon in battle and survive" on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get Blocker.

Level 5 Vespamon (BT19-052): When evolving or on play, delete one of your opponent's digimon with a play cost of 2+2n or less where you have n face-up shields. Gives "trash your opponent's top security when you delete an opponent's digimon in battle and survive" on inherited. While it's a face-up shield, all your bees get Blocker.

Level 6 TigerVespamon (BT18-056): Piercing and Reboot face effects. When evolving, suspend as many opponent digimon as you have face-up shields, then none of their digimon can unsuspend. When another digimon is deleted, unsuspend.

Level 6 QueenBeemon (BT19-053): Alliance face effect. When attacking, play a bee from your face-up shields with its play cost reduced by 8. Whenever one of your bees would leave the battle area outside of battle, place it as a face-up shield instead.

If you have a TigerVespamon with sources, and Yulin mindlinked for the alliance, you can potentially knock out five security at once (alliance check piercing into an enemy digimon, level 5 inherit trashes top security, TigerVespamon unsuspends when a digimon is deleted, do another alliance check) then hybrid for game or something.

Build Advice

As this archetype is literally brand-new, the community is still experimenting with deckbuilding. Here's a basic, no-frills example:

["BT18-004","BT18-004","BT18-004","BT18-004","P-106","P-106","P-106","ST15-16","ST15-16","ST15-16","ST17-12","ST17-12","BT15-087","BT15-087","BT19-084","BT19-084","BT19-084","BT19-084","BT16-082","BT16-082","BT18-044","BT18-044","BT18-044","BT18-044","BT9-046","BT9-046","P-118","P-118","P-118","P-123","ST17-02","ST17-02","BT18-046","BT18-046","BT18-046","BT18-046","BT19-048","BT19-048","BT19-048","BT19-048","BT18-052","BT18-052","BT18-052","BT18-052","BT19-052","BT19-052","BT19-052","BT19-052","BT18-056","BT18-056","BT18-056","BT19-053","BT19-053","BT19-053"]

Notice the lack of a Quartzmon, unusual in green decks. For one thing, Quartzmon isn't an X-Antibody, and for another, I mean, who needs level 7s when your top end and mindlink tamer have Alliance? (also your friends will probably hate you if you quartz for game)

Due to the [Insectoid] trait, many people opt to include one or two of Motimon to get extra swings off. I personally have found that I need to get as much face-up security as possible early on, so I prefer to max out on Puroromon instead. For the same reason, the classic RhinoKabuterimon might find a home here, but I'd personally feel apprehensive about including cards without the X-Antibody trait.

glad to see those spreading the truth

[breserker]

there was a kid i used to hang out with every other summer or so at a camp-like function (not exactly but sure close enough) that really liked flymon and it opened my eyes to what a cool design it was too. i think of him from time to time because i remember designing an evolution for flymon called thorbeemon with him or for him or something like that. i like the waspmon line, i like tigervespamon, and banchostingmon of course. part of me still wants a dedicated line for flymon specifically tho, because of that brief friendship

[citrus-cactus]

Curious if you have any headcanons regarding Amy, the girl Wallace talked to on the phone?

I imagine her as Wallace’s younger sister and a bit of a deadpan snarker. Her dream is to become a game developer, and her (eventual) partner is FanBeemon -> Waspmon. Though it’s been a minute since I’ve seen HT, so I don’t know if this fits with canon.

Aah, apologies for letting this get lost in my inbox! This is a GREAT question! I think the only thought I had about her was (in keeping with 02's trend of having its main characters being youngest siblings or only children), she might be his older sister... maybe one who's old enough to have moved out and live on her own (perhaps she was the reason Wallace's mom moved herself and Wallace to New York in the first place?), or still lives with them but is completely absorbed in her own life, and really can't be bothered with whatever her younger brother and his weird dog-bunny thing get up to now that they can basically take care of themselves.

I had never considered her as being younger, but I like your headcanon for her!

ayo yuzuru + 🔮 (aaa digimon, my other childhood fav alongside pokemon 💕) — @xoteajays

YES I've been meaning to revisit my digimon OCs!

So one future scene I really wanna develop more is when Ayo's Digimon partner digivolve into their Ultimate form via the crest of compassion.

The idea at the moment is to have Ayo try to protect a Digimon who wasn't as nice as he should have been. Resulting in Waspmon evolving into Waspmon. And epic battle then happens.

Send me OC + 🔮 and I will write or share a future scene from their story. It doesn’t have to be connected to anything specific, I don’t need to have written anything before that point. Just something I have in my mind and want to share desperately.
