Description When it came to my ideas for my steampunk MLP:FIM OCs, this is one I drew out a while back, but only gained ideas to complete recently. (Rather than a straight up villain this time - he's more like a loyal follower of a Big Bad, but I wouldn't call him evil. )

Simply known as his codename Alloy, Alloy is one of the most valued guards under the command of Unity Fusion. With her mysteriously gained magical abilities, Unity fused together suits of gear based armour to make for her followers to improve their abilities and show her prowess, and her prototype is worn by her closest confidant (after making her faux alicorn armour for herself, she's started making them for other earth ponies.... this is where some of my inspiration from Syndrome from The Incredibles comes in - especially the 'when everyone's super, no one will be' line when Syndrome plans to make superheroes redundant with his technology. )
No one has ever seen Alloy's face before (he never takes off the helmet in public), but he has made it clear that he feels he owes Unity for giving him this opportunity - regardless of the constant steam coming out of the neckbrace, he says it's most comfortable to wear - almost like a second skin. When it comes to his time outside of work, he's an erratic yet surprisingly affable pony, acting kind of like a spokespony for Unity's inventions, but taking interest in what strengths his employer's inventions have brought out in others (there will be a story reason for this I may reveal in the future. ) But he's adamant that Unity's vision is for the best, and feels completely compelled to carry out her orders to research the above world and discover weaknesses of unicorns and pegasi that they can avoid to perfect Unity's technology.....

The Songbird was actually one of my inspirations for the suit design here.

The idea of Alloy never revealing his face reminds me of this early scrapped idea for the MLP movie where Tempest wore some sort of dragon suit, and never revealed her face until the very end of the movie.

Huh, interesting.
In Alloy's case, I've got some ideas for why he'd always be wearing the mask.
