What about an authentic Red Ryder BB gun for sets that use guns?

To bAss: This is an amazingly convincing pair of pictures you have there. When I first saw them, I thought I was looking at actual screenshots you'd gotten out of some press release I just haven't seen. You have the background colour, as well as the hilt and guard colour spot on. Hell, if I hadn't read the rest of your post, I'd have assumed this was already done!
Major props from me. I'd love to see that in-game.

Far too dense with polygons on the hilt, but I only made it quickly for concept purposes.

Very disappointed.
I want to smash people with a huge weapon that has an eye on it, so they can see that they are seen while I beat them with the eyed weapon.
No, that's not supposed to make sense, be logical or connected to a realistic interpretation of my desires to play the set.

I get the high polygon count on the hilt and guard, but why all the polygons on the blade? Why not just made the thing out of one rectangle/trapezoid and attach the horn protrusions to the end? Granted, the last 3D modelling I did was ten years ago, so I may be missing something.|

Still, cool weapon and I hope it ends up in the game.

Even simple flat shapes still need some polygons for texturing and lighting reasons. I'm more animator than a modeler, but I really want a Vanguard Titan Weapon when the set is released so I thought I'd put in a small amount of effort to give a little nudge to the developers.|

I'm going to guess that its like that because it was rendered with the outside elements of the blade emitting light and the interior elements translucent, or something similar that accounts for the way the blade is illuminated.|

Although I'd like it if we had those 'small variations' available, would add some more diversity.
I'd love an energy blade like that too! Just not as a Vanguard weapon.
With this concept model I tried to keep it in line with how the other Vanguard weapons look. Should they ever decide to make a Vanguard Titan Weapon, I believe they should stay as close to the Vanguard look as possible.

The critical difference is with the concept the blade is held from the emitters that clasp onto the flat of the blade. A guard that tries to hold a Vanguard blade from the sides would be sliced through the first time anyone makes a swing, since the Vanguard blades are a nanometer in sharpness.|

I really like the weapon on that figurine, mostly for the scale of the thing. It's big, yeah - wider in the grip than she is at the shoulders, but what I really like about it is how the weapon itself is proportioned, specifically the very long hilt and the elongated, almost stretched-out design. Almost all of the weapons we have in City of Heroes are kind of short and fat, which means they describe very small arcs when they swing. I really, REALLY want to see long weapons like this one in-game.

THAT's gonna leave a mark.

Well said. If they just look like regular swords, I'll pass. If they're ridiculously scaled, like the action figure that needs a separate standee for its sword, I'm in.

There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
On the bright side. Figure Vanguard Blade/Energy Blades would likely have no weight to them except for the hilt of the sword. So all those realist can go "Just have to lift the hilt" and don't have to be superstrong to weild it.

That thing needs flashing red lights on the end and horn that sounds when you back up with it.
Gads Zooks! That's horrible! Pleasepleasepleaseplease say it ain't anything like what the Titan Weapons are *really* going to be like.
I'm aprehensive enough about this new power set looking extremely "compensative" without it also looking absurdly impossible to actually use!
Bad enough having to tryand share space and maneuver around the MM pets that are running around, now we're going to have to maneuver around weapons too?!
YUCK! 
Hahah!
