I am a panther, hear me rawr! by tapewolf

I am a panther, hear me rawr!

This is another PWYW sketch done by ahro and inked/coloured by me.

The subject this time is Renward Wils, who through a bizarre series of events ended up dying and having his soul transferred into a robotic jaguar chassis by Jayhawk labs. This was intended to be a temporary measure until they could build an android replica of his original anthropomorphic body, but Wils liked being a robo-panther and stuck with it, despite obvious problems like having no thumbs.

Originally designed to guard military bases on a futuristic Earth, the Mk8 CyberJag is powered by a small direct-conversion fusion reactor. Armaments are mostly claws, teeth and brute strength, though there are optional energy weapons, typically installed in the nose. W-ILS has no weapons and his claws have been blunted since he's not the brightest spark and the staff at Jayhawk are afraid he'll end up damaging something.

CyberJags are armoured with a special alloy generally referred to as 'blackmetal', which is impervious to most forms of damaged and is only malleable while bathed in a particular type of radiation.
The brain is fully sentient, though the intelligence level varies - on Earth they generally started out as grunts and were upgraded to higher intelligence levels as a reward for exceptional service. W-ILS is fully upgraded, as are most of the panther guards at Jayhawk.
Jakob Pettersohn brought the CyberJags to Furrae via a dimensional gate to use as a basis for his attempts to create an android - the brain technology utilised by Jayhawk was reverse-engineered from the CyberJags, and R-MAC ended up being fully upgraded as an experiment so that Jakob could check that he understood the technology involved.

Anyroad. Ahro's original sketch can be found here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/18508824/
I made a few design changes to the joints - we used several different designs over the life of the comic, partly because they appear irregularly and the artist(s) tend to forget how it was done last time.

Again, pencils were done by her, ink and colour by me.
