So the idea for this one is to base it off the original concept for Hydreigon, which was allegedly going for something more tank-like.
In this case? Making the excuse that the RRRP tampered with its body, modifying it into an actual weapon of war. BUT WELL UHH…I feel like maybe the tank is a tad too realistic? Dunno, whaddo you guys think? How might you approach making a more tank-like Hydreigon?
———————————
P.S. also need me some more Fire-Type Pokemon for Russo, because there aren’t that many. Just like stinkin’ Sinnoh…

I would Shorten barrels especially the arms something like this tank more.
To make it less tank like i think removing the treads and maybe make the tank part more resemble a shell
Hope i was able to help. I enjoy your stuff a lot.

I like deino’s wheel legs, kind of prefer them to the treads.
Something about Hydreigon’s design feels off compared to the other two, but I can’t place what.
You ever watch Hero 108? I don’t know why but these reminded me of the turtles.
VacuumMeHead
starting with zweilous, making one of the heads kinda blend in with the tank, and pls do simplify the tank a bit
maybe add the wing elements from the og design as backup fuel reserves
AveBalaBrava
Cute, it reminds me of advanced wars

If you’re an ultraman fan you can look up dino-tank it’s a Dinosaur tank fusion and maybe you could go off from there? It came to me since this reminded of that

Well the tank parts feel very unnatural, but hear me out :
Regional Iron Jugulis? just make the heads more robot-like. Plus if any Paradox needs a redesign it’s him.

I like the helmet Deino has on. But I feel like maybe the body should be changed a bit for all stages; it looks like someone just shoved em into a tank.
Maybe break up the armour? There could be a barrel (or whatever the end of the tanks called) over the top of Hydreigon’s head?

Maybe don’t have the tail as a barrel as well but more mini gun or something

Maybe draw inspiration from the Beta versions of Octillery and Remoraid? Cause they seem like a better mix of weapon and organic creature. On that note, maybe you could draw some inspiration from the Yuuzhan Vong biots from Star Wars, as their idea is that an organic monster behaves like a weapon, not looks like one. Also, OP, wanted to ask, can two fossils not on the theoretical Apex Crossil list made before make an Apex?

Maybe try to be more subtle I guess.
Regunes
Not a fan. I’d keep something similar for first evolution.
Then as it evolves, it’s true form start breaking out of the tank frame, maybe in a display of “real power”. Maybe make the 2nd a 3rd head dominant this Time
No wheels

I think you should split the difference between a hydra and a tank more. Dont make their necks straight, let them curve. Dont have them roll around on treads, let them walk around on dark rubbery feet that resemble treads. Dont literally give them military helmets, rework a helmet shape to be a part of their head shape. Basically reduce how mechanical it looks and make it look more biological

make it less mechanical idk

Being a literal tank is too on the nose. Clever abstraction is the key to good Pokemon designs (usually). Hydreigon already has a tank motif in its design, so you need to find a way to rework that with a new twist. Maybe a high-defense Hydreigon adapting to some kind of environmental change. An aspect of Hydreigon’s design that could be cool to elaborate on would be the wing tendrils, for example

I think you should redesign it all together. Instead of it being a literal tank, give it a more animal like body and give it tank elements and designs, especially for the final.

I think you could get some really good inspiration from the Roman testudo, a military formation that resembles a tortoise shell.
