Introduction:

After seeing the post about more SHOCKING skins found here, it just reminded me of a cool concept idea I wanted to share.

To give credit where it is due, the inspiration of this idea all belongs to this amazing Artstation creator Adrien Cams who submitted a Red Force Twitch Concept for the Riot Polycount Illustration Contest and its all focused on the theme of Power Rangers (a huge fan of the series as a child). While he is the main credit for the ideas, I'm expanding it further by pointing out the different champions' abilities, effects, and also Legendary/Epic skin pricing.

The difference between this and the SUPER GALAXY skins are mainly due to aesthetics featuring champions covered in FULL-BODY COLORED Armor rather than the type you see in the Super Galaxy skin-line. Not to mention, all of these skins would have visual and sound effects focused on Thunder and Lightning and the assigned color changes for each champion.

Another unique trait that all of these champions share are the fact that they are NON-HUMAN, which makes these perfect choices for the skin-line (Note: If you have better champions than what the artist listed, then go ahead). The next few sections will point out all the different champions, pricing, and overview of their abilities and visual/sound effects.

I'm slowly adding more details to the other rangers, but so far just wanted to put this out there and expand further. I also love feedback from others and ideas from them too. :)

The entire skin-line is pretty much summarized as follows and their colors

  1. Thunder Force Twitch - RED Legendary Skin (1820 RP)

  2. Thunder Force Alistar - BLUE Standard Skin (975 RP)

  3. Thunder Force Anivia - PINK Epic Skin (1350 RP)

  4. Thunder Force Rengar - YELLOW Epic Skin (1350 RP)

  5. Thunder Force Renekton - GREEN Standard Skin (975 RP)

  6. Thunder Force Renekton - Prestige Edition - BLACK AND GOLD (2000 Thunder Power Coins)


Red Thunder Force Twitch

  • Splash Art : Credit goes to Adrien Cams on ArtStation.

  • Skin Tier: Legendary (1820 RP)

  • Appearance: His entire body is covered in a RED suit, with his ears and tail being more of a holographic BLUE color. His belt is gold with an icon of the RAT on it.

  • Summoner Icon: Rat Icon on a Golden Coin (similar to the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Power Coins) with Red Lightning background.

  • Loading Screen Border: Lightning Border with the Rat Icon (in the color of Red)

  • Voice-Line: Twitch gets a huge voice revamp with this skin to make him more fitting to fit the Thunder Force skin-line making him more of a heroic figure rather than a villainous, filthy rat depicted in his biography. One of the main reasons why he gets the Legendary-tier option. He also gets gets a an additional new line when he goes into stealth mode.

  • SFX/VFX: Effects involve mostly involve with his long-range attacks shoot lightning in the color of RED and also replaces some of the abilities to add more lightning effects and sounds to match them. His Q Ability: Ambush is somewhat basic as he pushes a button on his suit and RED electricity surrounds him and stealths him. When he gets unstealthed, that same red electricity surges (showcasing his increased Attack Speed and Movement Speed buff). His W Ability: Venom Cask gets replaced with a thunder grenade and when it lands on the ground, RED electricity surrounds the area. His E Ability: Contaminate makes the electricity effects from his W visually appear "stronger" showcasing the additional damage inflicted on his opponents. His Ultimate Ability: Spray and Pray makes him shoot with his crossbow/suit more "sharpened" lightning bolts at his opponents.

  • Animations: Thunder Force Twitch gets new animations to his dance emote, featuring a unique "Go Go Thunder Force" music. When he recalls, he summons a "Megazord", aka more robotic version of him in the color of BLACK with RED accents. If he recalls with his entire team within a certain radius, there is a SPECIAL group recall animation putting all the megazords together.


Blue Thunder Force Alistar

  • Skin Tier: Standard (975 RP)

  • Appearance: His entire body is covered in a BLUE suit, with his Horns and Hooves being more of a holographic PINK color. His belt is gold with an icon of the Bull on it.

  • Summoner Icon: Bull Icon on a Golden Coin (similar to the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Power Coins) with Blue Lightning background.

  • Loading Screen Border: Lightning Border with the Bull Icon (in the color of Blue)

  • Voice Line: He gets minimal voice-line changes themed to the Thunder Force team (think of talking to a transmitter to your entire team).

  • SFX/VFX: His Passive: Triumphant Roar gets more of an arcade-like healing effect. His Q Ability: Pulverize gets Blue electricity to spark from his suit (no actual effect other than visual) when he slams the ground beneath him. His W Ability: Headbutt leaves a trail of blue electricity when he dashes to his target and when the enemy is stunned, they are surrounded by electricity. His E Ability: Trample gives blue electricity to his legs (Increased movement speed buff) and hits enemies with the electricity he produces around him when active. His Ultimate Ability: Unbreakable Will surrounds his entire body with electricity, acting like a shield. Because there isn't much of a huge visual and sound effect change, he is of the standard tier of skins compared to others.

  • Animations: Thunder Force Alistar gets new animations to his dance emote, featuring a unique "Go Go Thunder Force" music. When he recalls, he summons a "Megazord", aka more robotic version of him in the color of BLACK with GREEN accents. If he recalls with his entire team within a certain radius, there is a SPECIAL group recall animation putting all the megazords together.


Pink Thunder Force Anivia

  • Skin Tier: Epic (1350 RP)

  • Appearance: Her entire body is covered in a PINK suit, with her feathers and beak being a holographic YELLOW color. Her belt is gold with an icon of the Phoenix on it.

  • Summoner Icon: Phoenix Icon on a Golden Coin (similar to the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Power Coins) with Pink Lightning background.

  • Loading Screen Border: Lightning Border with the Phoenix Icon (in the color of Pink).

  • Voice Line: Her voice gets adjusted to make her more of a justice-seeking bird (somewhat of a dominant and aggressive character).

  • SFX/VFX: Ooooo man, this will be a fun one as she's one of my favorite champions to play and possibly one of my mains. Everything gets changed to match the theme such as her egg being surrounded by PINK electricity and her visuals.... ughhhhhh just lightning in general. Her Passive: Rebirth has her egg be more of an electrical pink hologram design with electricity appearing when she is reborn. Her Q Ability: Flash Frost shoots a ball of pink electricity at her opponent and when it hits them, they are surrounded by that electricity. Her W Ability: Crystallize summons two coiled pillars that create a wall of of pink electricity and a "shield hologram", preventing the opponent to pass. Her E Ability: Frostbite shoots a more precise pink thunderbolt at her opponents. Her Ultimate Ability: Glacial Storm summons a electrical storm that summons pink electricity from the sky. All her "ice-like" sound effects get replaced with electrical surge sounds instead.

  • Animations: Thunder Force Anivia gets new animations to her dance emote, featuring a unique "Go Go Thunder Force" music. When she recalls, she summons a "Megazord", aka more robotic version of her in the color of BLACK with PINK accents. If she recalls with her entire team within a certain radius, there is a SPECIAL group recall animation putting all the megazords together.


Yellow Thunder Force Rengar

  • Skin Tier: Epic (1350 RP)

  • Appearance: His entire body is covered in a YELLOW suit, with his Claws, Tail and Hair being a holographic GREEN color. His belt is gold with an icon of the Lion on it.

  • Summoner Icon: Lion Icon on a Golden Coin (similar to the Mighty Morphin Power Ranger Power Coins) with Yellow Lightning background.

  • Loading Screen Border: Lightning Border with the Lion Icon (in the color of Yellow).

  • Voice Line: Makes Rengar sound more heroic rather than a jungle predator (unsure if that will ruin the skin tbh, so debating on that).

  • SFX/VFX: Like all the other skins, he gets electrical sound effects with his abilities and similar to twitch in terms of stealth. His Passive: Unseen Predator surrounds his legs with yellow electricity (which allows him to "leap" to his opponents). When he gains 4 ferocity, his claws get more defined and sharper in color. His "Bonetooth Necklace" is replaced with a more fitting "Thunder Force Necklace". His Q Ability: Savagery also gives his claws electricity (Attack Speed bonus). His W Ability: Battle Roar changes his sound effect to more "heroic" and surges yellow electricity at his opponents and gets the arcade-like healing effect. His E Ability: Bola Strike makes him throw an electrical bola and when his enemies get caught in an electrical net. His Ultimate Ability: Thrill of the Hunt summons a megazord and camoflauges him and surges with electricity.

  • Animations: Thunder Force Rengar gets new animations to his dance emote, featuring a unique "Go Go Thunder Force" music. When he recalls, he summons a "Megazord", aka more robotic version of him in the color of BLACK with YELLOW accents. If he recalls with his entire team within a certain radius, there is a SPECIAL group recall animation putting all the megazords together.


Green Thunder Force Renekton

  • Skin Tier: Standard (975 RP) + Prestige Edition (Currency of Thunder Coins)

  • Standard Appearance: His entire body is covered in a GREEN suit, with his Tail and Weapon (and additional horns) being a holographic RED color. His belt is gold with an icon of the Alligator on it.

  • Loading Screen Border: Lightning Border with the Alligator Icon (in the color of Green). Prestige Edition will be a combination of Black and Gold.

  • Voice Line: Entire voice is overhauled in the Prestige Edition (with the standard skin having no voice changes).

  • SFX/VFX: Similar to all the others, most of his abilities will have electrical aspects surrounding them. Only the Prestige edition gets a more defined visual and sound effect (hence why the non-prestige is Standard). His Passive: Reign of Anger and Q Ability: Cull of the Meek gives him Green or Black (Prestige) electrical surges when he gains fury. His W Ability: Ruthless Predator gives his weapon a more sharpened solid color, with the Prestige Edition adding more GREEN electricity to his weapon. The stuns on his opponents give Green electrical surges. His E Ability: Slice/Dice gives shows electricity surging to his legs and similar effects when gaining fury or dealing damage. His Ultimate Ability: Dominus empowers him with electricity (Standard) while in the Prestige Edition summons a Megazord instead.

  • Animations: Thunder Force Renekton gets new animations to his dance emote, featuring a unique "Go Go Thunder Force" music. When he recalls, he summons a "Megazord", aka more robotic version of him in the color of BLACK with GREEN accents. If he recalls with his entire team within a certain radius, there is a SPECIAL group recall animation putting all the megazords together. For his Prestige Edition Skin, he gets more of a GOLDEN Megazord with BLACK accents. When he recalls in his prestige skin with the group, it actually recolors the entire teams' megazord a Golden color rather than the black color.

Hiya, y'all~

I'm the Producer on the Thematic Development Team for PIE (Player Immersion and Expression aka "Personalization") on League, where we source new thematic ideas and develop them through narrative and visual exploration.

I love how you took the Shocking skins post and merged it with the Red Force skin concept! The thought you put into each skin here is so admirable. The Pink Ranger was always my favorite, so I'm especially excited about the Pink Thunder Force Anivia idea you got here. I'm just imagining what it would look like for her to get reborn in a thunderous crack of pink lightning or to decimate a team fight with a pink electrical storm (R). Ugh, I want!

I've personally been noodling on how to execute on a thematic that draws from Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and other similar inspirations, so I really appreciate this post. <3

May I ask what about this kind of thematic particularly excites y'all?
