New Heimerdinger Skin Ideas?

Now that Shen and Aurelion Sol have gotten their skin dues, and Urgot's getting his soon, we still have Riot's previous announcement that Heimerdinger will soon be getting his first skin since 2014. What sort of skin do you guys think he'll get? Although Heimerdinger isn't the sort of champion who readily fits into many skin lines, here are a few of my own ideas:

I personally think the most obvious route to go would be Arcade Heimerdinger. His whole blingy science kit would translate so well into an 8-bit theme, as would his status as a certified genius. Plus, it helps that Corki and Ziggs, two fellow machinery-using Yordles, are already in the Arcade universe.

Another fitting possibility is Professor Heimerdinger, since he's basically already a professor. This would go in with the Academy universe, and I think this one would be particularly funny as a legendary skin.

There's also the possibility of a Candy Kingdom skin, with turrets shooting candy or something. Heimerdinger would fit very well in the universe's underlying creepiness as well...

Lastly, there is a Mecha universe skin, since Heimerdinger, Rumble, and Ziggs were the Mecha's creators (although I doubt the upcoming skin would be for them, since Rumble just got a skin). I imagined that it would be Resistance Heimerdinger, but that name would only work if Riot does finally decide to re-merge the Mecha, Battlecast, and Project universes back together.

Well, those are my ideas. What about yours? What sort of skin do you think Heimerdinger should get after such a long wait?

I've always wanted to see Dragon Trainer Heimer. That's a theme that people have put him in out there and some of the concepts like this one https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/006/390/791/large/vlx-bacescu-1-ingame.jpg

are pretty awesome.

a coach heimer skin where he sets up tennis ball shooters, throws his racket and shoots footballs from his hair. E is a big bouncing medicine ball.

A version of heimer from the void.

His turrets are mini kogmaws.

I would love to see a Creator Viktor-esque skin for the Mecha universe!

BioHazard Heimerdinger Colour scheme/schemes: Black + any of Purple/green/yellow

Primarily inspired by omega squad twitch and his Bio hazard sign on his W His weapons are alive and writhing.

His turrets perhaps resemble spore crawlers from Sc2 (perhaps make them quadrupedal and they fire leeches/acid). When they fully charge a biohazard indicator flashes above them briefly His W fires worm like creatures that rupture on contact (think lampreys) His E is a green projectile that explodes and releases a biohazard sign if it stuns (and every consecutive time it stuns when he R+E) His R he takes the appearance of some infected zombie with the biohazard sign above his head (in a manner similar to hazmat heim) then we go from there

Not very likely but it would be a very original concept take on heimerdinger if he had some kind of hunter or vigilante like skin.

His turrets would be mounted repeating crossbows

His rockets would be a crossbow that pops out of his glorious hair and shoots multiple crossbow bolts at once

His grenade either a bear trap or some kind of ice bomb

And his auto attacks could be him either throwing some kind of flechette (mini throwing arrow) or a small crossbow pistol

A Candydinger skin would be pretty neat! He could have cotton candy hair and peppermint goggle lenses.

As far as sci-fi skins go, I actually see him fitting in Program the best. I feel like they could do some interesting things with that line's general feel.

Doubt we're going to get any piratey skins with the Pyke event behind us, but something along those lines could also be interesting. Especially if it has a name like Swashbucklerdinger. Try saying that five times fast.

IDC what the skin is truthfully I just hope they put real effort into it. It would ne nice if he could have one skin with superior quality. Like not a basic skin over to him amd turrets. Cool new sound effects maybe a voice over. I would like a 15 or 20 dollar skin. One that's just epic or funny IDC I just want a quality skin no matter what theme it may be.

Theres a lot of cool ways you could go with heimer and a lot of them would be great.

The one id like to see the most right now though is Omega Squad because it would basically guarantee a high quality skin (as all of the skins in that line so far are fantastic). If you do one of the other routes you might end up with like mecha asol/high noon urgot where it ends up being a little disappointing for how long we waited.

At the end of the day though pretty much any of them are fine so long as they're well made skins so I look forward to see what riot chooses to do.

I'm gonna say that since he already has a winter skin, and he is more than likely to receive the skin before the end of the year, that it might be a Halloween skin.

Maybe a la Haunted Zyra theme, with little zombie bots and shoot goo, or maybe something a bit more like Slayer Jinx and Pantheon, with scrapped parts forming a kind of survivor outfit for him.

I don't even play Heimer, but the news for a new skin like this is always exciting.

I'm guessing it'll be something post-apocalyptic.

PROJECT Hiemer !!!! he has way to many grimy ugly skins need us a clean skin showing what his inventions look like when they are streamlined all curves and smoothness
