Crash BandiReboot 3 - N. Trance

My reimagining of the Master of Mind Control, N. Trance.
In his new history, Trance is Lord N. Tropy's right hand man and serves as a "mind rehabilitator" for the Tropy Empire and has most of the world's population under N. Tropy's control. Trance used to be a normal human until his mind control device malfunctioned and exploded taking most of his body with it, all that was left was his brain. Using future technology, Trance is transformed into a mutant brain and given a hover vehicle with robotic magnet arms. Trance isn't as loyal as he appears to be which is a lot considering people call him a world class brown noiser, in reality Trance is miserable serving under Tropy and is waiting for his moment to strike and usurp Tropy as Lord of the Future. Trance travels back in time with Tropy to fix their future and recruits many villains the Bandicoots have faced and are each sent into a different era of time. Trance is sent to the 17th century America during the Wild West and is given a mech suit to use should anyone oppose him or interfere in Tropy's plans.
For his normal look I wanted to stay true to his initial design but give it a more futuristic appearance to match his new story. His regular design was inspired by The Kraang from TMNT and character designs from Invader Zim. For his Wild West disguise I got major inspiration for it from the Cyborg Gunslinger from Doctor Who, but with a big change, instead of a arm cannon, Trance has a six barrel turrent gun that shoots out disintegration bullets.

N. Trance: The one known as "Crash Bandicoot", I hear by say "stick'em up"!
Well, Thomas, this design inspired my own design of Kraang. Thanks. Also, what does his N stand for, just wondering?
His N is for Neuro.
How would the boss fight be?
I honestly don't know, level layout and boss battles have never been my forte, though I think it would take place on an abandoned street in an old western town like where you see western showdowns take place.
Do I hear any "Kraang" in this guy? Or perhaps something else.
Yup, there's a little bit Kraang in N Trance.
The one called Crash Bandicoot and his sister Coco Bandicoot... must be destroyed!
Prepare for showdown! Draw!

Lol
Holy shiiieeeet this is awesome D:
I normally dislike N-Trance redesigns, but this one is awesome. I liked how you developed and fleshed him out more, it always made me sad how under developed a character he was when he was just so interesting, but you did great. Wonderful work ^^

Yeah I get what you're saying with how little his character is developed. He's
kinda a one note villain that was used poorly. But I do have to say that I am
thankful for this in a way because with hardly a story to him, I was free to mold
and shape his story into how ever I wanted without be restricted to staying true
to certain things like I have with other characters.

you're welcome.
yeah, it makes more rather sad since he's one of my favourite characters in the franchise even tho he has like nothing going for him in ways of story.

Cool ^^
Thanks ^^
No prob zig! ^^
if you do the third installment of Crash Bandireboot, I can give suggestions of villains and titans?
I'm already doing the third installment, but I'm open to hearing
new ideas for it.
new ideas for it.
im gonna send you a note with the ideas
Ok
A brand new version of N Trance! He really does resemble Krang. And the disguise, totally rockin'! 
Thanks!
You're welcome! 
I always thought N. Trance resembled Krang a bit.
And, I love his outlaw disguise. Hope he doesn't have a run-in with Sheriff Annie Katswell.

Same here!
I hope not for her sake. He's a futuristic brain mutant with a mech suit and
disintegrator turrent gun. That's one tough hombre.
