As for this in subs. Yeah Ballistamon is pretty accurate with that cheer. A bit too enthusiastic about Xros Hearts lack of brain cells.

Ok, quick question. Or rather, quick poll.

If you don't recognize anything I wrote from a fandom tagged here, then you can check on ffnet or AO3. I'm Higuchimon on both of those. Or you can ask me.

Yuu stop egging on him, of course he wouldn't know what Xros Heart means

All Tagiru sees is some awesome guy who he looks up to, not a war general

Oh my goodness; new DigiXros content!? Did my birthday come early this year?

For a little context, the user "Ray Chan" on Behance posted a bunch of concept art from a game they worked on in 2013 under the developer The Playforge for a Digimon Fusions game commissioned by Saban. I'll leave a link [HERE] if you want to go read the full thing and see some of the mock-ups.

But I'm a big fan of DigiXroses (or in this case Fusions), having designed quite a few myself, so I thought it would be fun to go through all of them and give my thoughts. I know these are more in the style of things like DonShoutmon and BalliBastemon than the toyetic stuff I design, but a DigiXros is a DigiXros, and some of these are really cool.

Let's start with the Shoutmon stuff. Ray Chan mentions that they chose to fuse random Digimon together as an exercise, and all of the Shoutmon Xroses feel like that. Which, honestly, I think is a fun idea, and one I might try doing myself some day.

As for the Shoutmon X Shadramon design, I dig it. We have three versions here. The very superhero, uncolored design is probably my least favorite, if only because it's trying too hard to be cool. I much prefer the smaller version of the design. It does a good job of merging the already existing segmentation in Shoutmon's design with the Courage Armor aesthetic. The flame details on the mask are also very sharp. The lankier version is ok, but I think it suffers from the same issue I had with the uncolored one where it's trying very hard to be cooler than it needs to be. Those proportions feel closer to an Armor Evolved Shoutmon than a DigiXros.

Then there are these two, the last of the new Shoutmon X2s. The first Pharaohmon Xros is very fun, and I like the additional red. This one also feels very superhero, but Pharaohmon already has that silhouette naturally, so it works. The second design feels more like how the show would blend them, similar to things like PawnShoutmon or JijiShoutmon. It's not as visually appealing as the first, but small touches like the new shoulders really help it stand out.

I really appreciate that they did a Revolmon/Deputymon Xros, since he was a member of Xros Heart. As for the design, it's pretty great. There's a more subtle V incorporated into the poncho, Shoutmon's face is well incorporated into the bandana and horns. It really blends the two ideas to make something new yet reminiscent. However, it doesn't feel very DigiXros; if you used Shoutmon King instead, you could easily call this a Jogress in the same vein as Paildramon.

And we have a new X4! It's such a weird combination of Digimon, but that's part of why I like it so much. I like the humanoid design more, personally; Shoutmon, Lunamon, and Revolmon all have those general proportions, so it makes sense that a Xros of them would maintain that. The gun arms I also feel work in this case. Of all the versions they did of it, the one with the hat is my favorite, as it's obviously Revolmon's hat, but also blends Shoutmon and Lunamon into it. The one issue I have is Togemogumon isn't very incorporated apart from the feet and a few colors; this could have been a X3 with a little tweak.

The less humanoid design I don't like as much, but I also really appreciate it. Not every Xros should be cool; some of them should be weird or goofy. This version has a unique silhouette, and blends Togemogumon a lot more than the other, even if Revolmon is less apparent apart from the chest cannon (and even then, it's very generic). And there's nothing to say the same four Digimon can't Xros in multiple ways, something SkullKnightmon and DeadlyAxemon did in the show, and something I've been working with with Himemon XAT and XSR.

Now we move onto what is personally my favorite of all the revealed concepts, Sparrowmon X Guardromon. It stands out to me because, with a few tweaks, I could easily imagine this as a toy, where Guardromon's head flips into the torso, and its forearms open up and swap the hands for the drills. On the rare chance I get around to kitbashing a Shoutmon X5, I'd definitely want to try doing a Guardromon so I could do this form as well.

As for the design itself, the fact that its forms are so visibly separated is what probably appeals to me to most. The drills are most likely inspired by Sparrowmon's ray guns. The only thing stopping this from being a near-perfect toyetic DigiXros is the feet, but I understand the want for a visual shake-up.

And now we get to talk about the most interesting through-line in this series of concept arts; Dracomon. It seems like the designers had the idea that, to match Shoutmon from Xros Heart, they could use Dracomon as a similar-sized mascot character and center point for Blue Flare. Dracomon's combinations are much more Fusion than DigiXros, but I really like the idea of re-imagining the Blue Flare team with Dracomon as the center.

As for Dracomon X BlueMeramon, it's a neat design. I like the general shape and flaming wings, but it doesn't really feel like either of its components. The face is too different, and the armor shapes and core come from nowhere. It feels like a Lv5 evolution of Dracomon, like Wingdramon or Groundramon (do we have a Flardramon?). A really cool Digimon design, but a pretty bad DigiXros, sadly. Really glad they didn't go with the superhero shaped one.

And then, like Shoutmon, we have this random X4 using Yasyamon, MetalMamemon, and Catsuramon. Despite its appearance, having two Lv5s in there would mean it's probably pretty powerful. Unlike the previous one, this one actually incorporates all the elements of the component Digimon quite well, having Dracomon as a base, and various armor parts from everyone else dotted throughout in a slightly better way than Shoutmon's. I also really like the uncolored concepts as well, even if they feel less like DigiXroses than the one they went with. (Wonder if I could convince Poyo to draw #2?)

But I think the set of designs that will grab most peoples' attention are the Dracomon and Blue Flare Xroses. These feel like the only designs that were made for the game as a forethought, rather than being a fun experiment.

Dracomon X MailBirdramon is a pretty good Xros, borrowing quite a bit from MetalGreymon in the claws, tail, and wings, but the smaller nature and head design do make it feel more its own. I do wish it differentiated itself a bit more, maybe brought in a bit more green, reduced the armor a bit, but think it's a good start. I also really like how the changed the horns.

Then we get our Shoutmon X4 equivalent. I suppose this would be Dracomon X3? It definitely pulls a lot from it, with the heads on the shoulders and the humanoid silhouette. That being said, and knowing that's what it's trying to accomplish, I think it pulls it off really well (with the caveat of it being a Fusion and not a DigiXros). It does a good job of pulling in elements from all three Digimon. It also has a similar vibe to the WayGreymon design I did a bit ago, so I wonder if I can use some of these ideas as inspiration in the future? Still, I think this is a fun design, and accomplishes what the designers seemed to be setting out to do.

And the last design we have to look at for today is Dracomon X4. Funnily enough, this feels very show Xros, essentially being Dracomon X3 with elements of Cyberdramon added onto it. It definitely feels very final form, but maybe not hero final form? Though I suppose that works for Blue Flare.

At the end of the day, I'm just pumped to see more DigiXros content, even if it isn't the toyetic stuff I'm more fond of. It's also the first new DigiXros content we've gotten since Boy Hunters ended over 10 years ago, even if it isn't "official." Like I've said about my own content, I hope these inspire a few people to try designing a DigiXros. I'd love to see other peoples' takes. I'd also love to be not the only person who draws this stuff.

So thanks to The Playforge for designing these, and to Ray Chan for sharing them. It really made my week.

glove is cut like a drawing glove leaving pointer finger + thumb exposed, still has burn marks from when demimeramon would beg to be carried everywhere

poncho clips to the side!!

green xros loader, clipped on the right side for easy access

has a massive fuck-you sized hat, wears it outdoors when around desert areas

Ghostmon (Pimienta "Pimi")

In control of her ghost tail length, chooses to keep it long, finds being a nuisance funny

top of her hat is long or short based off her emotions, almost always loops with a heart shape at the end

Wears a friendship bracelet, doesn't remember where it came from, it was on top of her egg when she was found. Eye scar is longer under her hat but she chooses to keep it covered, the stitches on her mouth have also been cut open

Wizardmon (Canela)

skull on his hat is capable of mimicking his emotions (both of these 2 idiots are an open book)

not many design notes on him?? He's going for a more superhero, yet relaxed fit these days (something about trying to study water magic)

Another AU idea lol

In this AU, the world is sort of similar to that of Xros Hunters/Ghost Game, where there is a space that Digimon can occupy where they effect the real world but aren't seen clearly by people. Most appear as ghosts or some other sort of urban legend. The Vandals didn't leave for the Digital World, instead remaining in Urlvista. Some of them decide to investigate into the rumors, unaware of what knowledge they'll unlock by doing so.

Little Blurb about it:

The three of them stared down at the floor, where a badly made pentagram was spray-painted on the floor.

"Hey, E.R.?" Riot piped up.

"Yeah?"

"Wanna lay on the pentagram?"

The boy considered it for a moment, then shrugged and grinned. "Sure!"

Grayson shook his head, watching as his friend laid down on top of the pentagram. "You're out of your mind."

Riot snickered, pointing the flashlight over at a nearby light switch. "Hey, ghosts or demons! If you wanna eat E.R.'s heart, turn on that light."

"And if you wanna eat Grayson's heart, turn on the light!" E.R. added, grinning as Grayson sputtered. "S-Stop putting me in your shit!"

"Our good friend Grayson McKnight."

"Dude, I swear-"

The switch flipped, the lights flickering on. The three paused, looking at one another. E.R. sat up.

"...Light's on?"

~~~~

"Monodramon!" Flamemon hissed, ducking away as the light flashed towards them. The beam wouldn't show them, but it could show their shadows. Which would not be good. "What are you doing?"

"He said turn on the lights!"

"Yeah, if we wanted to eat them," Terriermon reminded, sitting on top of Flamemon's head. "Which, we don't. Right?"

"No, we do not want to do that," the monkey-child grumbled.

"Hey, uh, ghosts? Demons? Whatever is there...?" one of the humans asked. Looked like the one with the flashlight. "If that was you, and not like a fluke or anything, uh... flip the switch again?"

"Okay, just don't touch it-"

Monodramon flipped the switch.

"MONODRAMON!"

"What, he said-!"

How would Shoutmon, Dorulumon and Cutemon (and Zengirou and Ballistamon) react when, in a future moment, Taiki and Akari had a baby and the Digimon and the little one met for the first time?

Extremely happy would be an understatement^^' It would be a GREAT event for all the digimon of Xros Heart, which would excite them, but also scare them, because none of them know how to act in front of a human baby. And there's the fact that they would become extremely overprotective with the little baby. It wouldn't be abnormal to see the little one sleeping in the fur of an overprotective Dorulumon^^'
