My dear Riot, is this Mecha Shyvana? The Ultimate skin in Mecha Aatrox' splash art?

As probably everyone knows or is aware of the updates in PBE, there was a tease or unknown character in one of the summoner icons.

If we can see very well, it is a Mecha skin that's not either, Mecha Kha'Zix, Mecha Malphite or Mecha Aatrox. The eye is different, the head design is different, and this one has scales. ...scales? As far as we know, there are only two champions that currently have scales. (Rammus excluded as his design is totally irrelevant to this) Shyvana and Renekton. The design of the head looks fierce, more of a reptile kind of subject than anything else. Both do possess scales, but Renekton's eyes are absolutely inaccurate to this Mecha summoner icon. Though, Shyvana has a dragon form, and so, the entire shape of the face in such an icon, does make sense for a dragon of sorts. The eye might be merely adopted from the human form of her's.

Now, enough of that summoner icon. Have you seen the Mecha Aatrox' splash art? Well, there's something strange. If you focus in the background in Mecha Malphite's, you can see Mecha Aatrox about to move. In Mecha Aatrox, you can see in the very dark background, that a figure of sorts is there. It's not a bridge. This one has particular lights or LEDs that actually got me wondering.

Its design, or such odd figure, has LEDs to give a special shape to something, which may look... like a jet, or a propulsor to make something fly, right? Well, if you focus even more, you can see that at the top, or above this strange jet of sorts, there's actually the shape of wings. It has a very typical wing shape, so, it's pretty obvious that it would look like wings instead of something else. Curvy shape, etc. As well, to add more, there's a large tail that comes from the bottom to the top. It has LEDs or something around this piece as well.

When the summoner icon was released, Moobeat, person in charge of surrender@20, said:

A mysterious new summoner icon popped up in today's update.

It is obvious that when someone says 'mysterious' it means something very important such as a teaser/skin/champion. In this case, skin.

The funny thing, is that there was someone who actually told the idea back in December. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2900798

Please, Riot. Do respond before I go crazy and my mother will possibly slap me if I continue wearing this tinfoil hat. Also, sorry if my English is terrible. I'm currently from LAS and I had to register to na.leagueoflegends.com to actually make a topic and discuss about this!

I'm so into this that I even made a little explication on why it is not Ultimate Kha'Zix skin or Battlecast Skarner. http://i.imgur.com/lCBcqfd.png

it's unlikely that icon is for the next ultimate skin because they put it in the shop on the PBE during the 4.12 patch cycle, so probably it's going to be released with the Mecha Ward and the other two skins. http://i.imgur.com/PuojUELl.jpg

Actually I noticed something that supports your theory so much it kinda scares me.

Mecha Aatrox was aatrox's 2nd, so there's a 2 hidden in the splash art: http://i.imgur.com/dvtEbfPl.png

Mecha Malphite was Malphite's 6th skin, so they put a 6 in the splash: http://i.imgur.com/T2XM8Kvl.png

If you look on the warehouse Mecha aatrox is coming out of in his splash art there is a** 5 **clearly printed there (right next to the tail thing or whatever): http://i.imgur.com/CWWqfHEl.png Along with Ironscale, Boneclaw, Darkflame, and Ice Drake, another shyvanna skin would be her 5th skin...

Half life 3 confirmed?

I'm imagining a Mecha Shyvana using her ult and transforming like a Transformer to become the dragon... daaaang that would be nice

Doubt it. Most likely just an icon being released with the mecha ward and skins. Like how pentakill icon released with the pentakill album or that doom ziggs icon that was released with doombots. I think its just to go with the theme like the other icons

you really put a lot of thought into this didn't you?

What if they are making a Mecha vs. Battlecast theme?

Hey guys was wondering, if u remember a couple of months ago Riot had a champion preview for a dragon like champion that was suppose to come out in a couple of months. Knowing that could it be possible this is a clue this champion is going to come out kinda like in the winter wonderland lulu skin the poro with the mustache hints braum is coming out?

Shyv already has so many skins though...

ok i may just be going insane after reading all the posts (more then likely) but in the back of mecha mal skin that does not look like atrox to me it looks like galio im probably wrong but they look way to much like his wings to me and horns Edit this is also Galio 5th skin if you count his classic

if it is a mecha shyvana skin, which I would instantly buy no matter the price, I hope they dont give her high heels. Ice drake is my favorite current skin for her but the heels just dont make sense with her lore or personality.
