Oh god, boss ideas. Time to deploy my creativity!

Mecha Master!

The Mechanical Dial (his summon item) is craftable with 1 of all hardmode boss summons, 30 of every soul, 1 Celestial Sigil (Moon Lord summon item), and 30 of all Pillar fragments.

As you summon him, he will be a gigantic orb with a 4-color forcefield: red segment, green segment, blue segment, and yellow segment. Each of the segments have their own health bar: 20000 health each. Once you kill one, a special boss will summon: Retinazer EX (has 25000 HP) will be summoned from the blue segment. It will ALWAYS shoot rapid-fire lasers that deal TONS of damage and ram into you while shooting them. The green segment summons Spazmatism EX (16000 HP), the hardest of the four: it deals TONS of damage, the most of the 4, ALWAYS rams the player, shoots various cursed flame waves when he's near the player and not chasing it. The yellow segment summons The Destroyer EX (140000 HP). It deals the damage of a Crawltipede when you touch him and he's just as aggressive as one. He doesn't need land to burrow and shoots lots of lasers, but he has the lowest damage if you stay away from him. He will not summon Probes and he's vulnerable to Ichor, Cursed Inferno, Firefrost and Poison debuffs. Finally, the red segment summons Skeletron Prime EX (36000 HP) who has 6 arms: cannon, scythe (Everyone loves Pumpking), laser, saw, vice, forcefield. The Scythe will swing repeatedly at the player and summon yellow flames that follow the player, and the Forcefield will occasionally give Skeletron Prime EX a forcefield making him invincible to damage for 10 seconds. All the arms have 13000 HP. He has 1000 defense and once all 6 arms are destroyed, his defense will drop to a more reasonable level. If you read everything up to here you are amazing. By the way, did I mention that the Core of Mecha Master follows you around while battling the others and shoots small lasers that deal very low damage, and you can't hit any other segments while a boss is facing you? Once all segments are destroyed, the Core Orb will break and reveal Mecha Master! He has 230000 HP and has all the stats of the four COMBINED. I haven't decided the drops yet, but this is certainly a hardcore boss. Sorry for the long post!
