Order & Chaos

Order & Chaos are Hunter Kasai's principal weapons in Mecha War Online.

Design
With the transforming frame as their base, Order and Chaos combine a Katana with a compact energy cannon. Both weapons are essentially the same weapon, just recolored and modified slightly to differentiate them apart. In essence, the sword form takes the design of a Katana with a slightly thickened blade, curved sword tip, and extended hilt. Its guard is at an angle and rectangular in design. The hilt has a trigger where it should be for a gun.

To switch from sword form to gun form, Hunter rotates the blade portion down so that the blade is now aligned with the rectangular portion. Upon locking into alignment, the blade will collapse itself into the rectangular portion; the rectangle will then open up and deploy a gun barrel over the now-rotated blade. With the weapon in gun form, Hunter can now pull the trigger and release a blast of pure energy with Order firing a vermilion red blast while Chaos fires a manganese violet blast. To switch back to sword form, Hunter simply taps a button where the rectangular portion was to retract the barrel, then rotate the shortened blade back to its original sword orientation. Once reset, the blade will extend to its original sword length, and Hunter can go back to hacking and slashing.

There is a hybrid form between the two forms where Hunter activates the gun barrel while the weapons are still in blade mode. Once doing so, Hunter pulls back on the slide that deploys to prime the energy cannon. This form does require manual priming after Hunter has fired six blasts from it, due to the hybrid form only allowing limited access to the cannon form's capabilities.

As for individual cosmetic differences, Order has a shining silver blade; a white, cloth-wrapped hilt, and vermilion flames inscribed into the blade while Chaos has a burnt charcoal blade; a black, leather-bound hilt, and manganese flame details etched into its blade. Order is meant specifically for concentrated, controlled attacks. As such, Hunter has made Order blast its energy in a more condensed, beam-like burst. Chaos is the opposite of that, and has a larger, wider-spread blast more akin to a shotgun than anything.

Trivia

 * Order & Chaos will be joined by a few more weapons in Hunter's arsenal, but these two serve as his principal weapons.
 * Hunter personifies the two weapons as twin brothers, with Order having a more noble and conserved tone while Chaos is more instinctual and wild.
 * The picture shows an uncolored version of the weapons, since I was too lazy to color them and I drew them during school hours. I didn't wanna use the colored pencils and stuff from school since I couldn't really find them nor did I want to use them.
