Robotic and Skeletal animated tails?

With GR going live, I finally got around to updating the costumes for one of my robotic characters that I hadn't played much recently. I had fun mixing and matching the new clockwork, resistance, and alpha sets in with the original robotic and steampunk costume pieces I'd used. While I was updating the look, I remembered that I'd originally wanted to give this character a robotic tail, which unfortunately doesn't exist in the costume creator. On top of that, I remembered I had also wanted a skelatal tail for another toon I'd recently created.

My question is this, how many folks would like to see animated robotic and/or skeletal tails?

I drew a cyborg girl with a robotic tail at one point, but dropped it halfway through because I didn't like the way it was looking.

It was like a disconnected "chain" of parts, though, floating in the air. Like she had a train of little drones following along behind her. That might look cool ingame...

You could probably get the rat tail to look like a linked-metal tail with the right coloring. Though it wouldn't look robotic animated...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll assume for the moment that the answer to my question for the most part is "meh".

This is what immediately comes to mind for robotic tails:



More metallic than robotic really, but I could see using it.

I am very much for this. We already got tech wings despite the very concept not making much sense, I dare say it's about time we got a tech tail or two. If I were an artist, I'd draw what I mean, but failing that, I can google a few pics, such as:



and



It would certainly help pull together a few concepts for me, and probably give birth to a few more.

More parts, especially robotic ones, are a good thing

You know what just occurred to me?

Boat Anchor Tail!

The concept is entirely very simple. The entire tail consists of a length of chain with a boat anchor at the end, swinging around like a regular tail. It can meet the body via a half-link welded to a metal plate that's flush against the base of the spine.

I know it's out there, but wouldn't it be COOL?

*edit*
Man, I SO wish pictures of that existed...

I did a brief search around the web and found a couple of examples for skelatal tails that would help at least with that concept.

The eskeletons.org has quite a few skelatal break downs. I had imagined that a robotic tail would be a variation on this. I'll see if I can find an example of what I was thinking.
