I apologize if all of my Ratchet and Clank fanart is deep cuts like this, but Elaris is real tired of this Lombax calling her the name of an ex-colleague.

Anyways, I've seen the "what if Elaris was the one that turned into a bullied supervillain robot instead of Dr. Nefarious" idea floated around but no surviving art of it so...

Behold, The Iron Empress herself, Dr. Elaris! In this universe, Dr. Nefarious is just a mildly neurotic nerd with a weird name that’s still working with the Galactic Rangers and later befriends Ratchet and Clank while his ex-colleague is building biobliterators and occasionally freezing up and playing video game OSTs out of her glass horns.

She also has a butler in this universe, a lovely lady robot who happens to married to some middle school history teacher named "Lawrence".
