I'm guessing this was part of an idea for a multi-functional portable weapon and analysis device that Tech may have carried around with him frequently. It explains what the two green port holes on his suit sleeve were originally meant for. What do you think of this little detail that was apparently dropped in the final series product? What do you think Tech's arm device was for? It would have been cool if they had left that device on Tech's arm in the series i think!
Hmm... I don't know. It sure looks cool on him. On the other hand, that would be a little unfair to the rest of the Loonatics not having one. We all know that he uses more of his intellect and inventions than his powers but I guess that could be a combination of some sort.
I think they dropped the gauntlet in favor of giving Tech more power. He would have probably have been just like Batman in JL except with regenerative powers so he couldn't die. His gauntlet would have been his utility belt. I guess last second they decided that that would have been too obvious a reference so they opted to give him magnetic powers instead, which would have freed him up so that his different inventions would be ones needed to help the whole team and not just supply him with ammo because he lacked firepower like the others. That's just my take on it anyway.

Interesting idea Martiangirl. Swap the gauntlet for magnetic powers. Personally i thought the gauntlet was meant to be a similar idea to Razor's glove-a-trix in Swat Kats and Tanya's Omnitool in Mighty Ducks. A few superhero cartoons like to give the team geek a nifty arm device of sorts to help them with their analyses of things and provide multiple offensive attack functions. I'm kinda sad that we never got to see Tech use this gauntlet thing, it looks like something that would have come in real 'handy' for him (get it? 'Handy', 'hand' armour? He! He! OK, that wasn't that funny.), and it would have given him a cool piece of machinery to operate! *Ponders at the many cool possibilities of Tech's techno-gauntlet.*
Yeah, that gauntlet looks uber-cool-- too bad it never saw the light of day in animation (or maybe it will someday-- you never know). Well, thank god for fanfiction! XP

Oh i hope so! *Prays to WB to let Tech's early design gauntlet appear in future and serve a useful purpose.* Please give Tech back his cool techno-gauntlet! Although i did make one for him in my fan season ep stories!
Tech did invent that DNA descrmabler metal arm pulse-emitter device in "The World is My Circus", which unfortunately got crushed under Ringmaster's giant mutated foot. I'm thinking perhaps that device was based off Tech's first gauntlet idea partially. But this earlier gauntlet design looks way cooler!
Right now, I`m a little awestruck by the design of the characters in that pic. While it is obviously is based off the actual design, it looks...just awesome. So much more detail, not to mention muscle! Holy heck, Slam looked huge! And I notice the characters had less thin bodies than they do now. While it`s overall familiar, at the same time it`s cooler in a way. And yeah, the Techno-Gauntlet`s kinda cool.
It kinda looks like a prosthetc limb,'cause of the wires that are hooked up to his arm... perhaps it was meant to be one, but then WB scrapped the idea because it defeated the whole purpose of having regeneration powers ;D

And did anyone else notice that everyone gets their tails colored except for Ace in that pic? His stays black...

Egads! You're right! Duck has orange tail feathers!
And the prosthetic limb idea is interesting, tho' i still think it was meant to be an external arm armoured gauntlet device.

I thought that too. This group picture actually features in the ending credits of season 1, and i always thought all the Loonatics looked more defined and well shaped in it. In the show, they do have a tendency to look quite thin and straight-lined in most of their bodies. I think the more detailed illustrations of the Looantics are reserved for official art and stuff like that.
Check out this pic of Ace (with Lexi and Tech at the back):

Oh my... Ace IS so defined!
*doodles more "defined" art* Hee hee!
And Lexi has some serious curves...ahem, sorry, that`ll be enough gawking from me.
I like Lexi's pose. She looks so feminine, yet she looks like she's ready to jump into some form of action. Also, I think Duck's and Rev's pose are almost exactly the same if you noticed.
Good spotting of details there LexiHex! Slam has an obvious animalistic snout in the first pic, and protruding lower teeth! I think those details were lost in the final show product. And yes, Tech's techno-gauntlet is very cool! If only they'd give it back to him!

Exactly what i thought. Ace has a super fit body here! And Lexi, as Crossfire says, boasts a really curvacious body!
Black Oracle wrote: *Jumps back up.* No don't stop kaejae! More fanart! More fanart! *Passes out at the thought of a defined Tech again.* What a vicious cycle!
*Suddenly starts gasping for air as Crossfire's bear hug squeezes the life out of her.* ACK! I'm conscious! I'm conscious! Put me down before i suffocate already!
I think he wore it in The World Is My Circus, where he reconstructed it and I think it's called the Genetic Descrambler. I also saw him wearing it in the ending credits. It's weird, I don't know why, does anyone know why Tech wore it on his hand?

I think I agree when people think that it was like a prosthetic arm, which kinda doesn't make sense because of his regenerative abilites..*scratches head*

Yes welcome Cheri! *Sigh* Another Rev fan, and so begins the rise of the Rev Empire...But the Techie rebels will free the world from their madness! For truth, justice and the Tech way! LOL!

Don`t you al understand? Kaejae marks the beginning of a new age, the age of the Ace fangirls. They`ll just wait on the sidelines, until their time to strike is at hand...Me, I`m a Lexi fanboy, but not to the extent that I dream of dating her or anything. I fantasize Ace/Lexi ^^

Egads! Crossfire is right! The real threat is the rise of Ace fangirls!
-dies laughing- I don't think you meant for that to be funny, but it is!
But for now, Tech fangirls control the field... muhahahahaha
Rev: With the Revvies right behind the Techies! March, my fangirls, march!
Tech: To battle!
TFG: TO BATTLE!
-both sides charge in at once-
Lexi: -steps in the path, boths sides stop- Don't make me break my foot off in your ass! Tech, Rev, back to work! Fangirls, back to worshipping!
Duck: Haha, this time *I* didn't get the worst of it!
Lexi: No gloating!
Duck: Yesm.

Leader of the Rev army (the original Rev,) sneaks up behind Lexi and gives her a good kick in the behind. The pink rabbit goes flying.
Duck: Um, I don't think she's coming back. Ace: You know what Duck, for once; I agree with you. (Turns to Rev) Gee, I knew you were super fast, but I didn't know you could make her go that far. To be honest, that was actually amazing.

I know of another "Acer" on Deviant art! Heehee! So make that 2 Acers on the list! ^__^

Well, what are you waiting, for, Ace? Go get your future girlfriend back!
*picks up Ace and hurls him after Lexi*
Duck: Two things: I never thought I`d see someone who can throw as far as Rev can kick, and I can`t believe you just threw your own favorite Loonatic.
Crossfire: Hmmm...why don`t you go catch them, Duck?
Duck: Ummm...what are you doing? Hey, stop! What are you-
*throws Duck after Ace and Lexi*
Crossfire: You`d better come back with them both in one piece, or else I`ll de-power you and let the oddity have you all to herself! And without your quacking, you`ll never get away from her! Wait a second...
*grabs Rev by the collar*
Crossfire: If you hadn`t kicked her, they wouldn`t be flying through the air in the first place. Since I get the feeling Duck`s not going to save Ace and Lexi, I`ll leave it to you to catch them and bring them back safe, while I go find Duck and deliver him to the oddity on a silver platter. And you don`t wanna know what will happen if you fail to bring `em back
*throws Rev after Duck, Ace, and Lexi*
Tech: *slowly sidles away* I`ll just stay out of your arm`s reach, thank you very much.
Slam: (Hey! That looks like fun!)
*Slam grabs Tech and throws him after Rev, Duck, Ace, and Lexi*
Crossfire: Well, I guess it`s all up in the air now (sorry, someone had to say it). Um...nice shot, Slam I hope Rev can catch him too, though, or else Black Oracle will kill me for showing you a bad example.
Ace: -falls through the bathroom window- Oy! Remind me never to tick off Crossfire...
(several hundred miles away)
Ace: -crashes through a window of the LUO boards- Okay...remind me never to let Rev kick Lexi again...and to kill Crossfire for tossing me into a bathroom while a girl was taking a shower...ugh. -passes out-
*grabs Rev again, after setting Lexi on the ground, and throws him in a random direction*
Crossfire: No time, Rev. Go find Ace too. And tell him not to kill me, k?
Lexi: Don`t worry, Cross, Ace won`t kill you, because I`ll be killing him for not running after me in the first place. *cracks knuckles*
Crossfire:...Um, maybe Rev should bring Ace back to the tower instead. Lexi, you go find Tech, and I`ll go find Duck. There`s a certain lady I need to deliver him to, in powerless state of course. Uh, Slam? You go make sure Rev and Ace safely get back to the tower. Alright, Loonatics, let`s...wait, that`s Ace`s line. Sorry. By the way, Lex, what happened to Rev while he was saving you?
Lexi: For one, Ace is the only one allowed to call me Lex. Ever. And two, I made sure he regretted the toes-to-the-tush manuever he pulled earlier.
Cross: I would`ve said he should`ve gone for Ace first, but you`re standing right next to me, currently ticked off at Ace`s lack of concern and Rev`s foot to the fanny, not to mention I just inadvertantly offended you by calling you by a name reserved for Ace`s vocalization only, so I`ll just keep my yap shut.
Crossfire: Okay, Rev; go get Ace. Rev: Sure-thing-I-won't-let-you-down!
Rev salutes, then speeds off
Lexi: Where's Ace? I'm going to get him for not saving me, and I'm going to get Rev, too.
Runs off too
RevRunner: No, not Rev; I have to go save him. Duck: Y'know, it's getting late, I'm just going to head back home. Tech: No, Duck; you go out and make sure they're okay. Duck: Where are they, then bigshot? Tech: I don't know. Duck: What?? Can't you do your nerdy stuff to find out where they are? Tech: Too lazy, well bye.
Meanwhile...
Rev: Hi-Ace! Ace: Rev? Rev: You-bet! Lexi: Okay, Ace; get over here, right now!!! Rev, you're next!!! Rev: Lexi-your-ears-are-untied!! Lexi: What, where?
Ace and Rev run away
Ace: Nice one, Rev.

Wait a minute, I thought Lexi was going to go find Tech? And where`s Duck? I`m still out to deliver his lazy, good-for-nothing butt to the oddity.
Lexi: I happened to find Ace and Rev on my way. And, thanks to your directions, Cross, I was able to find them both at once! For that, I`d kiss you, if I wasn`t already holding out for Ace. (Crossfire: No, people, I don`t fantasize Lexi kissing me. I`m not that obsessed)
Duck: Lazy!? I`m sorry, I was flying terrified though the air at the moment, soaring towards eventual death! Of course, if Rev hadn`t pulled the bunions-to-the-buns stunt, you`d never have thrown any of use in the first place!
Ace: Yeah, come to think of it, it is all his fault!
Tech: Not to mention Slam wouldn`t have gotten the idea to throw me in the first place!
Crossfire: Tech? I thought you were somewhere on the other side of the city.
Tech: I had to walk back, thanks to Lexi`s drive for revenge. But that`s still Rev`s fault.
Lexi: True enough! I`ve got the aching cheeks to prove it!
Crossfire: Well, Rev, it looks like the only Loonatic you haven`t ticked off is Slam.
Slam: Blahrahblahrahbah! Ha-ha! *cracks knuckles*
Rev: What!? What-does-he-have-against-me!?
Crossfie: Umm...he said he`ll chase you for fun. I`d get running if I were you; good thing you`re the fastest of the `Tics. As for me...I`ll just sit back and watch the fun.
Oh, come on, Ace, you`re not that stupid, are you? Why would lexi say you`re slow? And besides...if Rev got close enough to speak to you, why didn`t you pound him while he was within your reach!?
Lexi: Never mind, Cross, I`ll get him. And Crossfire`s right, Ace, why would I say that? Last thing I want is to disrupt your chances of catching keester-kicker there.
