Would love to purchase this awesome helmet on console, but for the last few updates we don’t appear to have received it. Is this helmet coming to console at any point? Please say yes.

Thanks for the compliment @Shredder2025 ! I love mix and matching tennogen :-) -- If it looks good with Graxx, that is awesome! :-) I like using Graxx with prime or Poseidon with Prime on it personally

Need to pick this up soon, looks badass with hydriod grax with prime parts

Thank you D O O F! I'm glad you like it!!!

Thanks for answering Vulb!

Just to clarify further in-case anyone is wondering:
For things like this that will move separately (have cloth physics, essentially), you need to submit them "straight out" so to speak, so that DE can rig them to move / sway / jiggle / bounce / whatever apart from the helmet with wind, gravity, or movement in game.

The way I have them positioned here is just one of the many ways they could lay on the frame, and I posed these myself. Gravity will have it's way with them in game, but they won't stick straight out like they did on the devstream.

In DE's defense, rigging takes time and I don't mind that they showed it like that at all! I'm just over-joyed that this got accepted! In game pictures when you see it up in the marketplace will be the most accurate to what you will get when standing still I'd assume! :-) Thanks for asking though! @D O O F!

I hope this clarifies it completely for anyone who maybe was wondering the same thing! :-)

Tentacles do jiggle, and swooce, and wobble, it just wasn't rigged in time for devstream

Thank you @Eternallypink & @Surprised Synth! :-)

Note: I've updated all the screenshots and the Sketchfab link to reflect the most recent changes (mostly just tint-mask clean-up and making the Emissives a bit softer around the edges / making them stand out a bit more.
Surprised Synth 3 May, 2019 @ 11:25am 
Congratulations! Purchasing as soon as I can!
Eternallypink 27 Apr, 2019 @ 2:00pm 
Fantastic! Love alt helms with longer hair-thingies.
Crackle2012  [author] 5 Apr, 2019 @ 10:49pm 
I'm so glad that you guys like it! I tried really hard to push the "hydroid" tentacle concept as far as I could without breaking "tenno" style. It wasn't easy! This thing has been through quite a few iterations to say the least. I think may have grown a tentacle in real life in the process... LOL!

Anyhow, thanks again for the kind comments and even for any constructive criticism that I've gotten! It means alot! :-)

I love it, hope it gets added

it's a seal hunter,
Crackle2012  [author] 17 Mar, 2019 @ 7:18pm 
Wow, thanks to everyone for the kind comments!
Waterbeacon 16 Mar, 2019 @ 11:05pm 
Now THIS is an alt helm
Terkan 16 Mar, 2019 @ 4:52am 
It looks fantastic, I see no reason for this not to be in the game :D

Not only does it look great, but from what I can see it'll blend perfectly in with his style. I definitely voted yes, can't wait to see it in TennoGen!
biru 16 Mar, 2019 @ 1:44am 
Predator anyone?
Wotan 15 Mar, 2019 @ 10:59pm 
I need this right fucking now.
bettomendes 15 Mar, 2019 @ 9:42am 
Always yes for Hydroid stuff. <3
Chromatic blade 15 Mar, 2019 @ 8:37am 
I really like the helmet but , karkinos ? how did you come up with that name , it mostly refers to cancer in my language (greek) and the zodiac after .... if you want to say crab , you would want to call the helmet Kavouras or kavouri

That's too old-fashioned, isn't it?
SimianAmphibian 14 Mar, 2019 @ 10:49am 
i have a deep need for this squid side note it reminds me of Javik from mass effect
xvimer 13 Mar, 2019 @ 11:20am 
looks good
Keijima 13 Mar, 2019 @ 9:18am 
I need this for my Hydroid Prime. Current head skins just isn't doing it for me.
TheNerdNugget 12 Mar, 2019 @ 10:07pm 
As I clicked I was thinking this looked too much like the Ketos helmet but then I noticed the primey bits. I think this would be a great helmet for Space Davy Jones!
Crackle2012  [author] 12 Mar, 2019 @ 9:42pm 
Thanks so much guys! Really glad you like it!

Yes, I just love the name Karkinos which is Greek for crab and the large carapace type head was inspired by the orb Vallis spiders, but it is admittedly pretty evenly split between Orb Vallis spiders, Predator, crabs, and squids as far as what I used for inspiration.
KronikSempai 12 Mar, 2019 @ 6:07pm 
*applaud* Pretty much gonna revive Hydroid for me.
5 dollar iphone 12 Mar, 2019 @ 3:49pm 
I love this so much, it makes me want to actually play hydroid lmoa
Zenvarix vix Venzakot 12 Mar, 2019 @ 3:29pm 
I have a small bit of trouble seeing the 'crab' in this. I get more of a squid/Tentacruel vibe, with a small dose of ME Prothean and Yujata/Predator- helmet and dreads and four eyes. Maybe I'm just looking at the head wrong... Either way, I still like it. Always happy to have more tentacle heads with Hydroid: it's part of why I like the default helmet if I'm not fashionframing as a pirate/ship-captain. If it gets in, I will buy it!
Crackle2012  [author] 12 Mar, 2019 @ 9:44am 
The metals are tintable and on the accent tint color (same as prime!) :-) @andymous87
@generaldurandal gotta crawl before I walk! Skin + helmet is a goal for the next one I do, but not this one. :-(

Also, thanks to everyone else for the kind criticism, or compliments! I’m stoked that people are getting a Predator vibe from it! (I wanted that, and my initial inspiration was Predator-ish!) - but then I got with Vulbjorn and we made it much larger and wanted to aim more toward a mix of Tenno / Orb Vallis spiders.

Stoked that the Predator vibe remains for some though! :-)
9mm (kissable) 12 Mar, 2019 @ 8:58am 
This looks absolutely wonderful. I'm worried DE will prefer to have the eyes taken out, given it makes it look a little too human.
andymous87 12 Mar, 2019 @ 8:41am 
if those accents are a tintable metallic this is definitely getting my money when put in. It sure has my vote
generaldurandal 12 Mar, 2019 @ 8:35am 
I usually down-vote all alt helms,
since i'm not going to spend 5.99$ on a helmet when I can spend 6.99$ on a helmet and skin,
but this one is pretty nice.
Please make a skin for it, i'd like to use it, but won't if it's just an alt helmet.
BaronMckill 12 Mar, 2019 @ 6:44am 
That is one sexy helmet!
RedCor 12 Mar, 2019 @ 6:13am 
its look like predator's dreds for me...
Butchilas 12 Mar, 2019 @ 5:09am 
This name is cancerous.
Volfie 12 Mar, 2019 @ 3:16am 
Realy cool one nice jobb
Helstiir 12 Mar, 2019 @ 2:58am 
This, is by far the best Hydroid helmet I've seen
Fabbae 12 Mar, 2019 @ 1:40am 
Now that makes Hydroid actually playable.
Drungus 12 Mar, 2019 @ 12:50am 
Amazing! Shut up and take my money!
Konahrik_Kid 12 Mar, 2019 @ 12:26am 
YES. Why do we not have this yet?
Soreg 12 Mar, 2019 @ 12:00am 
Looks really cool actually. Would buy.
Borf 11 Mar, 2019 @ 9:54pm 
looks too close to default helm
