As Y'all May Be Aware, I'm An Animator

As y'all may be aware, I'm an animator

So these behind-the-scenes animation videos are super cool to me!

Animation errors, on the otherhand, are super funny-

I'm sorry but this shot reminds me of this patch note from the Sims lol

Drew all the symbols that I noticed in murder drones for the community. I think I drew them correctly.

Anyway this is what I think their functions are. If I made a mistake please tell me.

V calls Uzi "Cyn" here (apologies for the lack of subtitles, they're in Spanish)

Who's that? Is it short for something? Is it a person? A thing?

As I'm pretty sure everyone has noticed by now (you'd have to be blind not to), Uzi's wings and tail seem to have some amount of organic substance to them. We can also see that the joint at the top of the wings looks like a hand.

It's pretty obvious that those that have the Solver aren't just random drones so what if Uzi has been specifically picked by someone else or someone else is pulling the strings somewhere? (Does Cyn have something to do with this?)

There's also 'Zombie Drones', outlined by the JCJenson training video. I'm assuming Uzi is one of those, something similar or is at least relevant to them in some way. But why are they called that? Is it because the drones are zombies or because they use dead humans as material?

It's also interesting to note that Uzi's tail does not include acid like Disassembly Drones do. Is it because she can't generate any, being a Worker Drone (or something else that isn't a DD) or for some other reason?

I'll group these two things together for now:

First off, Solver ceiling. Could be something worth analysing but nothing immediately jumps out at me so I'm shoving it into this post about....

The alt Solver symbol we see on the door (which may be drawn in blood?). My screenshot is a frame that doesn't show the red as much but I can assure you that it's red! Whatever it was drawn in also dripped so my bet's on blood.

I don't think we've seen this version of the symbol elsewhere but it might (and probably will) appear in the future so it's definitely something to look out for!

See y'all on the 9th of June for MD ep5! I'll likely make theories or posts analysing screenshots :)

The rest of my posts about MD ep5 will be tonight (I'm busy today rip) but I can't wait that long to share this one soooo

In the scene where they discover the den of parts in the basement, we see some familiar faces:

On the floor, we can see a head with the teeth from the amalgamation (will be referred to as solver form from now on)

We can also see more solver form heads and a J head in this shot:

And finally, we can see N's entire body with his head next to it in this one:

So clearly, there are multiple of each drone (or at least the one's we're familiar with). This is further backed by Cyn saying that she has "backups" when Tessa says "If that little butler dies for your sake, I swear-"

Either Tessa REALLY likes N, J and V and dresses up multiple drones like them or...

The serial designations could be referring to the model type of each drone, or at the very least different model types exist.

We know there are different models of Disassembly Drones already (there are noticeable differences between N, J and V) so does their model type also determine what wig and clothes they wear?

It's also interesting to note that N, J and V have Worker Drone parts in this episode for the memory sections (V's got WD arms, J has WD legs, N wears a helmet etc). So clearly, they got modifications** before being sent out to disassemble the drones on Copper 9. I'm guessing butlers got recycled into Disassembly Drones rather than making a whole new line of drones.

Also, on the note of there being a dead N in the chair: later on in the episode, Cyn shoves N into the chair, picks up the dead N's head and says "let's reset these memories one more time". N has repetitively discovered something he's not supposed to see (Cyn's solver form*) and had his memories erased.

*Cyn also refers to herself as Solver of the Absolute Fabric (there were other words in there too but I forgot them lol)

We now have Cyn's official (by her standards anyway) title.

**Little note about the modifications that didn't fit elsewhere: they don't have DD headbands here!! Those are their eyes!!! If the digital eyes displayed on their visors are their "real" eyes here, why are they not their real eyes as DDs? Not criticism, just wondering how they see lol
