>disagree on novelty wearing off; those unique designs are still some of my favorites.

both things don´t have to be mutually exclusive at all (that´s assuming we are talking about polar opposites in an extremely hypothetical scenario). Quite the opposite in fact.

Although one detail of most seaponified designs come to mind: many of the characters do NOT actually have an official design beyond the main characters of each gen (Ocellus and the CMC included). Beyond them, the rest are up to approximations from the fans and thus: they take certain freedoms in their bodies, rightfully so.

I mean, the fascination may come from the fascination of such transformation in itself anyway. However, some standouts that are brought up to qualify them as more special come from pictures of Luna, Celestia, Chrysalis or the one you´ve posted: Tempest.

However, I imagine that Gameloft will eventually release some vectors with the expanded cast so that we get "official" versions of them, just like nightmare, changeling, kirin or bat transformations have shown so far.
