I just reckon sticks sound too much like the torches used in the show, Dameg.
The torch designs Hunter's posted look clunky, and I like the design yeah, but a standard Dracon Beam is meant to be more pistol-like, and would have to be small enough to be hidden in someone's pocket or jacket.
Something smaller with a streamline would be more like the Andalites' Shredder. I agree on rossabo's point about the size.
On that note, also, should the type used for Dracon Beams be the same as the ones used for Shredders.
The 'laser-shot' sound we've all come to know and identify is the 'TSEEEWWW!! TSEEEWWW!!'
I think, in The Arrival, Ax mentions how he could spot a distinct difference. And I recall in The Andalite Chronicles the shot sound being something totally different, but still 'electrical-laser' sounding, if you guys know what I mean.
I think it was like a 'TSSSAAAAAP!' or something...
My question for you guys is a technical one: Should we maintain the 'shot' sound effect difference (Tseeeewww! X Tsssaaaaap! [or whatever]) that was stated in the Andalite Chronicles, or drop it, like the Ghostwriters towards the end of the series did?!
