While we're on Overwatch, I rediscovered this powered armor design for Gadget that I was working on a year or two ago. It's not -actually- Pharah but it looks kind of like her doesn't it?
I always liked how the tech in Rescue Rangers was improvised from found human objects, so I wanted to see if I could craft a powered armor suit for Gadget. There are a few pieces that would have to be custom-made, but I'm pretty happy with how many found objects I managed to integrate. I'd love to see someone better at mechanical drawing than I am take a crack at this.
The undersuit is made from medical stents; the chest armor is from a linked metal watch band. The leg armor is made from bicycle chain links, with carved eraser treads. The armpieces are mechanical pencil tips, and the arm-mounted weapon is an electrified pen clip, powered by a cell phone battery on the back. The verniers are are from a folding wine opener. (The thrusters, comms, and internal systems are pure cartoon.)
