Mine's Corvette.
Little Red Corvette.
That makes zero sense! Let me put it this way - I've always pictured Scizor's crabhammery things perfect for him because they're essentially a mix between punching bags and plasma rifles, depending on the attack:
They're aerodynamic because of the curvature - rather than run around like a dumb boxer, Scizor would fistfight in a very spring-loaded fashion, with a hint of a robotic, mantis-like movement to him. Hell, I even tried slightly depicting that in the wow such toge gif:
It's not aerodynamic in the sense that a boxer or ninja would be - it's got the aerodynamics of a sports car. That's the whole point! The added resilience and points of articulation thanks to the metal coating mean it can reel its claw back, and then lunge using a mix of footwork and short, controlled bursts from the wings (which it uses for temperature control and slight corrections to CQC, rather than flight) to deliver rapid-fire physical attacks and promptly lock up the joints in its arm to extend the duration of the punch or make sure it doesn't reel against a hardy enemy. With an attack like Slash or Knock Off, it can perform a similar vertically-oriented lunge and clock them with a curving, downward motion rather than a beeline as would be the case with, say, Bullet Punch.
On the other hand, let me try and explain why I don't think Mega Scizor would be a sleek fighter design-wise: picture trying to hold a chainsaw with a single hand with barely any muscle in your arm or shoulder. Now, in addition to this, you have to control a hedge trimmer-like mechanism and all of the chainsaw's teeth are on the inside, requiring further precision.
Oh, and you've got to dual-wield these hedge-chainsaws, too. And you've only been doing cardio for months.
