Although I figured Sektor would be in this game, I assumed his appearance would be revamped. After all, he's come such a long way since he was the mindless tool of the Lin Kuei. Now's the souless heir of the former Lin Kuei's corruption, infecting the modern earth realm with synethetic darkness.

And since he's now a leader of Tekunin, I assumed he would look like... I don't know... a freakin leader maybe? Now I know I'm not being fair since I've only seen his shoulders and head, but unless he's wearing cargo pants and a belt-buckle, I can't imagine the change being that drastic.

Now I'm sure he looks a little different. I mean, he has to. They're not just going to give us a red MKDA Cyrax, are they? I think it would be wrong to not make him distinctive from his thousands of red followers.

Any thoughts?

*EDIT* After studying his pic a little closer. Do I see... cloth garments? This maybe more interesting than I imagine. Headmaster Sektor, heh. Perhaps it's just me, but I see some sort of non-metal wavy material on his shoulders. What do you guys see? We're probably all seeing something different, but I just want your interpretation.

I agree, plus I thought Cyrax looked very cartoonish in the game, and I tought it made him look week.

I didn't like Cyrax that much at all in that game actually, though I still think he's cool.

I think he should maybe have a black/red scheme going on. Like. maybe some of his red armor should be black now. Not all of it, just some, and change the armor design somewhat. I think the head should remain the same though. It is a trademark for them, and the dreads rule. However, I want some better dread animation.

I saw his face in the the new select screen. Although it's dark, one can see a cyborg through the shadow tint.

veinz: I agree that the black/red color scheme should be ellaborated on. I think the symbollism of it helps reveal who he truly is.

he has seen sektor in the character select screen, one of the shadowy shapes you see, i think it's the one to the right of Shujinko. Well i think sektor should be somewhat like cyrax's second outfit form DA, not exactlu the sane, i hope he has some cyborg still in him. Of course i agree he should still have his red helmet with the dread locks. although i would like to see his face too. Good Thread Temperary

Sektor has been confirmed by insiders. Do I have proof? No, and therefore you have no obligation to believe me. Anyway...

From what I've been told, Smoke is neither cyborg or human in his main form. Although I'm sure both versions of him will be available as alts, this therefore leads us to believe the cyborg is either Sektor or Cyrax. I've already stated why I believe it's Sektor.

Hell yeah they should give Sektor an upgraded look. He's the leader of a whole army for hell's sake! I hope they revamp him quite a bit, make him look more dangerous.

I do hope they put Cyrax in the game as well. I mean, how cool would it be to see a good ol' fashion Ketchup and Mustard fight?

It would be cool if sektor has a laser cannon on his shoulder like in the predator. Could be used as a special move or a finisher. He needs to look different and more evil.

Wait... Umm.. the MKTE stuff was all cannon?

Well.. if Sektor is able to bring about having a chunk of Japan turned into robots.. we're all screwed. And, remember, in the MK world not all of the endings are cannon, yo.

..dude, that is a KICK ASS LINE.

...Sorry.

Anyway, I see some cloth, too; you're not alone. I think it would be great to have Sektor done a modified version of the grandmaster's robe we saw previously in MKM:SZ. Not as baggy, though.

I have the feeling that if he's in, Sektor's going to be one of the characters who gets the most development by being present in MK:D. He was nothing more than a soldier for two games, but now he's changed. Honestly, I think he's the only seriously mentally unbalanced individual in the MK universe (I'm not counting the megalomenia that all the villains suffer from), and now he's got delusions of grandeur, and an entire nation of Tekunin available for his command. An assload of potential here.

I hope honestly that his weapon will not be a pulse blade, rather as I said in another topic, something like Darth Maul's double-lightsaber from SW: Episode I would fit him nicely. Or maybe two long light blades.

As for alternate costume possibilities....that's what intrigues me the most. We don't know a damn thing about what he used to look like.

Will we see his older, human form? Something halfway, like Cyrax's MKDA alternate? Time will tell...

I don't think that it is Sektor. There's no room for him, There's 24 confirmed characters and there's 24 on that screen.

Actually, it's been stated that there will be more than just the 24 on the select screen. There will be some you can't see, similar to Blaze and Mokap.

Yeah, But Blaze and Mokap were "Hidden" characters. All 24 characters were confirmed and there's 24 of them on that screen. So if Sektor is in the game, He'll be hidden with the others.

If Sektor is in the game, he could look absolutely sick. Think like a Cyborg Skab, Have parts of his body exposed and show the human parts being connected to the cyborg parts, and some sort of grandmaster robes like someone mentioned early. And unliked cyrax's secondary costume, do not expose his face, or if they do, have it be pretty mangled, very cybernetic.

Until I see proof otherwise, this cyborg is Smoke. he's the only confirmed cyborg in the game. Whatever rumors about him being a cloud of smoke are circulating have remained unproven. Until I see proof on the contrary, Smoke is the cyborg, and Sektor isn't in the game.

It could be Smoke. But I strongly doubt it. Even though I believe his main form will be neither human/cyborg, I'm sure he'll have his cyber form as an alt. But still, I'm leaning towards Sektor. Although I can't prove Sektor's confirmation, I can prove that there are users on this board who are never wrong about their info.... wink. smile I'll defend these guys till the final release day in October if I have to.

Thanks for all the replies, people. There are some very good responses, and unfortunately, I have time to ellaborate on them(I need to wake up hella early tomorrow). Keep them coming, peeps. smile I'll post again tomorrow.

i agree TemperaryUserName, smoke is probly going to come back neither as cyborg nor human. but i still think sektor is going to be one of the hidden characters and come with whole new look.

And in case you haven't noticed MK:TE's storyline, Sektor's also gone insane. He could very well don the mantle of a grandmaster, thinking he deserves it, or he could modify and upgrade himself, altering his physical appearance.

And yes, Smoke's not just a Cyborg anymore. thing is, we don't know what he is now.

There's no reason the three of them have to stay the same, just because they once looked the same.
