Mecha Aatrox Sword doesn't fit his theme

It may be just me, but the sword in the mecha skin doesn't feel right. In his base skin it feels.... "alive", it feels organic with every hit, the way it moves, and how it moves and changes it's shape (growing longer, shrinking, bending). That is something that is iconic to Aatrox in my opinion, and in this skin I just don't feel it. The sword seems like a sheet of colored glass being swung around. The one thing that I do like is how it changes color, with the effect it has going down the sword. But still, I think it needs a redesign.

He's a mech/gundam , it's kinda obvious that his sword wouldn't look "alive" since none of the weapons the mechs use are organic.

Well you COULD impliment some Biotech in his sword. I'd say Mecha Aatrox is closer to a Transformer than a Mech/Gundam, since he literally transforms into a jet when he recalls. Transformers have living biotechnology that's hard to replace/close to irreplaceable (much like real Organs), like their Optics (eyes) and their T-Cog, etc. All those Biotech Organs pulse and move so yeah, there's that. It's not Far from the possibility that a robot can be living.

They could always make it look a bit more like a 'transforming' weapon, that can shift its form a bit depending on some of the same factors that adjust the appearance of his regular sword. That might capture the feel you're looking for?
