Description I find it odd how easy this machine came out, but I think that was so due to how simple the design it is. How powerful can a simple design go? I think pretty far.

This idea came flowing to me while watching Astro Boy and trying to draw that damn bug monster. Atop that I had a third idea but it never got on paper... Digressing. This idea is indeed only a day old and already I feel I will have to use it in the upcomming Dawn of Monsters event.
But roughly speaking, its just a working machine that is a big fancy bulldozer. It destroys and moves tons of material from point A to Point B; the same power can be easily used for flat out attacking. What else, am I right? Just because a cat(the giant tractor, not the animal) isnt a weapon doesnt mean you can drive down the block, crushing everything in your way.

What I love the most though is how simple this thing is. I took inspiration from Evangelion's angels by a degree, as well as really fancy super futuristic androids, and a little bit of Batman Beyond where some machines like this appeared. There was also a machine from Planet Hulk that partly inspired this idea.

I am so damn happy with this idea, but feel free to express any opinion all the same.

Ooh, I really like it! The pose, the style of the robotic parts, everything...I know it's for construction, but I picture it fighting like General Grievous, using all his limbs for arms and legs interchangeably.

Also, reading the comments...as far as unintentional inspiration goes, nothing came to mind at first, but if I had to make a comparison, he does remind me just a little bit of the robots from Castle in the Sky...

Like Grievous? Grievous is far more agile than this hulking beast. Though I can still see amazing results from physical fighting.

Hmm Castle in The Sky robots.. that may be it. yet I feel it isn't. I may never know..

Oh yeah, I definitely don't see him anywhere near as agile as Grievous, just the way he's very flexible, like walking on limbs, doing a handstand and fighting with his feet, stuff like that...

And I know how you feel. I have a design in mind for a suit but I could swear it's based on something...

I don't know about that either.. Especially the feet part since this things feet are just giant metal pillars at best. Though walking on all limbs... makes me itchy thinking of it.

I wouldn't blame you if you didn't, but that's just the first thing that came to mind when I saw him.

I do like this simple design. And for some reason I like those circular units on the palms/tops of the hands!

Very neat looking mech, Aka. Β Love the ratcheting look to the arms and legs, and the fingers and hads look great.


Also, Doc Oc inspired, maybe? Β His mech arms look a little like that.

Actually of all things, he isnt Doc Oc inspired. Funny thing cause even now I see it.

Yeah, I feel like there's something this reminds me of, but I can't quite place it. Robots don't usually stick in my mind as well as monsters, I guess.

Cool design, though. I think the simplicity works well. What are the circular things on the back and palms of the hands?

You too? as I drew this I felt like I also seen this basic design somewhere. At first I thought I was recalling the Organic Mechamorphs from Ben 10(AKA, Upgrade, Malware and Ship) but elsewise I can't remember what I may be looking at.

the things on the hands are going to be Sonic Pads, which the machine uses to bust apart hard rock with the use of sonic blasts.

Yeah, Ben 10 came to mind too, but idk if that's quite it. Hard to place. The sonic pads are a pretty neat idea.

Yikes, it eludes us both. I honestly feel guilty about that. If I designed this thing after something without intention, then it could come off as a black and white plagiarism.

Which is a cool concept. Hell, I could see him fighting kaiju on the side.

Oh, I am aware. But I do like the fact that it has another use.
