Hey Li, if that’s who I’m speaking to,

My name is Santiago, and just like you, I have been a fan of Dragon Booster for many, many years.

I just wanted to say thank you, truly, thank you. It is due to die-hard fans like The Furox and you that we have gotten a bit more information about the future of the franchise in recent years. Thanks to the collaborative fanzine and the questions answered by Rob you guys have provided, we have a sliver of hope for the future of this great story.

For that, this humble Colombian (and voice-over artist) is truly grateful to you.

I wish you a wonderful week, to you and your team.

Muchas gracias 😁🇨🇴 and of course,

Release the Dragon, or as it was dubbed in Latin America:

¡¡¡REVELA AL DRAGÓN 🐉!!!

Ohhh this was such a sweet message!!! 😭😭😭 Thank you so much for the kind words and for checking out everything! I'm glad you enjoyed it all, hope you have an amazing week yourself!

It definitely sounds like a "Word kind of thing" to do to frankenstein different coloured draconium together into gear composition to make it usable for all dragon types. In a business perspective, it makes a whole lot of sense to make it as accessible to the masses and sell as many units as possible. Maybe the higher the purity, the better and more powerful but limiting the gear is (Eg. bluer = finer balancing, but less dragons can use it), so there's some inherent quality/grading of gear for the different types as is.

Off topic but I wouldn't put it past Word to try and mix and attempt to artificially create gold draconium gear as he did with the bonemark used on Brutaris. Who knows what cool junk this man has in his big secret evil weapon vaults that Zulay saw and fell in love with

What if some gear that dragons typically can't mag have hybrid versions for other dragons? So Pure White Gear a Black Dragon can't mag, but because of how important White Gear can be in some races there are hybrid versions, which are mostly White so that they can be functional, but have a mag spot of another color for the dragon to mag? Probably grey, since it's the generic color.

This is a very interesting idea, and I'm very glad you put it forward.

I will say, though, that Black Dragons can mag white gear. I only remember one example off the top of my head right here, but it is something they can do.

But you still present an interesting idea! And you make an excellent point about the disguised Wraith gear. In fact, it's not even just the gear that Word specifically made for Beau.

If you look at every instance of the Wrath Dragons, it's the same exact gear for them across the board.

This very much lends to your point that gear can either be given a separate function, seeing as how Word was able to adjust the operations of the ramming gear's head piece to do something else. Cuz normally the cranial aspect of Ramming Gear normally forms a sort of shield that the dragon can then use to safely bash into stuff with their faces with both minimal damage, and maximum effectiveness.

Word was able to alter that completely to mix with Black Draconium, and thus function as the mind control gear.

I do kind of wonder if what Word actually did wasn't so much using Black Draconium to perform Green functions. Seeing as how the cranial segment is what performs the Black Draconium function, while the lower half still retains the Green Draconium function, it’s more like he Frankensteined two different gears together. Green provides the armor and projectile, while Black provides the mind control. Both the natural functions inherent in the respective draconium colors.

The whole point of the different draconium colors is that certain ones can only do certain things, and that’s why mankind bred away from gold in the first place. Different colors have unique specialties that the others can’t perform anywhere near as effectively. One couldn’t expect orange gear to be as effective as balancing a dragon’s movements as blue gear is.

And there’s a common misconception with the dragon colors that “best gear matches” means that’s all a dragon can mag. This is actually not true, and it goes beyond just the fact that Black Dragons can in fact mag white gear. Brown dragons only have green, light green, and blue listed as best matches. And yet we’ve seen Rumbull, my dear Lonely Mountain of the series, having magged both red and white gear in the final episode’s drag-ball match.

I do think that how your concept would best work is if Grey Draconium could be used to augment gear certain colors can’t use to make it maggable. I can’t recall after midnight while finishing this post in bed on my phone, but I’m pretty sure Grey Draconium is maggable by everyone. Assuming that is correct, one could make blue gear mixed with grey, that would makeup for any lack of power output and then be safely magged by a green dragon.

This has all honestly got me wanting to make a master post listing gear we have seen dragons mag in the show. That way as comprehensive of a list we can get could be out there, to recall which gears we know they can and to ponder which ones they can’t. I’m pretty sure only “green can’t mag blue” has been clearly stated. We do know that one rando was surprised to see Beau having red, blue, AND white gear all magged at once, after which he magged on green and then a second red gear. It’s also worth noting though that all gear has levels as well as colors, and the rando was shocked by all the high level gear Beau had on. So maybe “best gear matches” just means “can mag higher levels of these over any other color”?

All right, ya got several paragraphs out of me and that’s all I’ve got for now! I feel like I tangented a bit here and there. But this is a very interesting idea you’ve brought up, and it does bear more consideration. Thank you very much for sharing it with me, it was very fun to ponder!

#rambles #i didnt ask the question haha #i just like musing about paynn Inc's contribution to the worldbuilding of db on a socioeconomic/cultural environment level #zulay mention for funsies #girlie who loves guns and big weapons #no more kind mom zulay only I choose violence zulay but not u moordy u r my sweetie pie here have a gun #sigh i miss them #apologies for the unhinged tags lol #carry on

Abandonn, from bean to beast. Giant doggo! Honestly I only remembered Dragon Booster because of him, and got back to it last year because I adore his design.

[paynnincorporated]

omg i forgot I drew the babies all together once 😭😭😭😭

The whole gang! Mostly for my own Mafia AU (where Zulay lives), but works for canon too I suppose. The parents when they were younger and their kids too! Reposted so I can keep track of what else I need to draw lol.

I feel like colouring in these few characters, maybe designing Kitt’s moms… potentially Parmon’s parents and maybeeeee Cain’s other dad :V

Wulph got a revisit and he now has tinted sunglasses ✨

[paynnincorporated]

Hello there! ☺️ Just wanna say I’m so glad to find someone that’s also an enjoyer of dragon booster despite it being almost a decade old!! It’s the peak of my childhood tbh

I’m still in s1 right now, but hopefully I can catch up with it all soon 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

So happy I found you’re account ✨✨

I have news for you, DB is actually 2 decades old already! 😂Hell yeah 20 years since it first aired!

Glad you're getting back into it, have fun!

Moordryd gets an affectionate family at the cost of seeing his family actually succeed in conquering dragon city and him being all torn up about his parents being the authoritarian leaders of it all lol

Desire to write a oneshot fic of Moordryd being isekai-ed into a universe where his mom is alive and his dad is actually nice and him having panic attacks about things being different but so much better and also worse 🤣

Wonder if anyone wants to read it tho lmao

it's basically me dumping all my word and Zulay headcanons and punching canon Moordryd in the gut with it

someone please yell about dragon booster with me especially all the paynn family drama and angst and development

it is singlehandedly the thing that keeps drawing me back to this silly dragon show

#dragon booster #i love the paynns lol #love me some complex characters and even more complicated relationships #THE POTENTIAL #Kills me everytime #do y'all see my vision #going insane with this

[paynnincorporated]

They make me so!!!!! HHHHHHH.

Holding my head in my hands

I miss Word and Zulay

[paynnincorporated]

WIP thing for a tarot card design (guess what card :^) )

I love evil mad scientists x evil gang lord lol (In the POV that Word is a nerd about gear and Zulay was the leader of the Dragon Eye crew) And yes, that's Zulay's dragon Addyr, who's meant to be Decepshun's relative/parent idk haha.

#dragon booster #word paynn #zulay paynn #they make me go insane over them #ugh the chemistry the lore the vibes the aesthetics the angst #love them to bits #what we could have had #a dead genuinely evil lady whose death looms and haunts over the plot

[paynnincorporated]

Me on DB: dragons cool, but have you considered. Dragons in situ of this fascinating world. Plus weird character fashion and interesting backstories and arcs. MASH it all together ✨👌🥰

AKA I thoroughly enjoy pulling all aspects of this show together, and love when I draw cohesive snapshots of dragon and human life in Dragon City:

Just genuinely adore drawing a Dragon City teeming with life lmao, it's so vivid in my head. Part of the reason why I like Word and Zulay is cuz I get to brainstorm their lives at every level of Dragon City, it's so so so much fun. From rags to riches, from the streets to the beautiful vistas, from the race tracks to war battlefield ahhhh.

I do feel like odd one out of the general fanbase, with this adoration for the characters and environment over dragon lore 🙈 but whatever lmao, I love enriching these scenes and just think the dragons look even cooler next to their human counterparts and the weird af city they live in

[paynnincorporated]

A commission for @wyrdle ✨ Dragon Booster was one of my favourite childhood shows, and Word was my favourite character (I think that explains a lot really).

#look at them serving cunt #ugh
