Hear me out before you go "BUT PEOPLE WANTED THESE SINCE TTK" I didn't even know about these weapons or the video until a couple of months ago and I had no desire for a reskin/different element version of another exotic. I actually honestly feel like these are wasted potentials of weapons that, while similar, could have been unique in their own right. As it stands, these were supposedly prototypes of the finished product which is the Thunderlord. It would have been nice to see some actual changes from each lord mainly in the changing of Archetypes. It would have been nice to see them take the rolls of the other 2 archetypes of machineguns (High-Rof, Low impact and Medium-RoF, Medium Impact). It just seems a waste that there wasn't some difference between the 3 in some way other than "Lol here's a different element".
