Lucemon... SATAN MODE?!?!?!
I'm sorry, but that one looks horrible. Think of it this way... usually, a mode, from MY perspective, has to resemble the previous form in SOME way or another.
Take Gallantmon and "..." Crimson Mode... BOTH are knights, except Crimson has angelic wings, a double sword, and red armor... but the form and concept are quite recognizable to Gallantmon...
Or Imperialdramon and "..." Fighter Moder... now, I know what you're thinking "They don't look like each other"; well, correct... but Fighter Mode does have wings like Imperialdramon, the dragon's head located on the chest, the cannon located on Fighter Mode's arm, and the color sceme is very much the same.
And look at Myotismon's forms... even though they are not "Modes", they do have resemblances to each other (blonde hair, red mask covering eyes and nose, sharp teeth... even though Malo has MORE sharp teet than the others, and of course, an undead/demonic demeanor).
Now, I look at Lucemon: Satan Mode, and, apart from the wings, I do NOT see one damn shred of Lucemon anywhere!!! They could've at least kept his face a little more like the original (NOT completely like it, but humanoid to the point where it's recognizable), or they could've made him more humanoid in build, or they could've ix-nayed the tail. Tch, to me, he looks like an add-on for the Spirit of Fire's line (dragon-like, after all).
Folks, Bandai has screwededed up on this one (I'm not bad-mouthing Bandai BTW, but this concoction is terrible)
