Description
This has taken about 10 hours so far.its power armor/mecha, its about 15 feet tall so its just a mecha but there is a human pilot in the body.
Its got a long way to go before its finished, I'm interested to hear weapon Ideas, and stuff like that thanks.

An anti-personnel version would be cool.

Looks like you took cues from the Tau battlesuit. I'll fave it.

love it! how about giving it a power shield/power sword combo?

I am not so much into "mechs" as I am into powered armor, but there is a large degree of overlap.
In any case, I do like the almost insectoid appearance of this machine. In any case, I have a suggestion.
I think it would be neat if this thing did have the ability to fly, but instead of jets or a jump pack, how about a pair of ducted fans attached to the back that would enable flight? The advantage of rotors is that they would allow for a greater degree of maneuverability than jets and they would not need a separate fuel supply to chemically propel the thing as the main problem with many "jetpacks" in development is that they use up their fuel supply in seconds.
The fans would be held out to the sides extending from the shoulders in taking off, like a VTOL lift system, but then would orient themselves to angle forward once the machine was in flight so it would fly in a forward-facing position. When not in use, the fans would be moved backwards and be folded behind an armored coverplate on the back when the machine is on the ground.
I used the cancelled Solotrek XFV as my inspiration.

Well Here Is My Ideas:
Weapons:
-Laser Gatlin Cannon
-6 " missile launcher
-Cyber Plasma Laser
Power Source:
-In neck area
-Plasma
Shields:
-Eos Phase Shift
Hope that this will help you!
You might wanna rethink the colors too, And it needs more decals,
also it needs a thicker torso to fit a cockpit with controls, a screen for an HUD.

Oohhh man, this style of mech brings me back to the Heavy Gear days. Beautiful!

While hydraulics can work in larger machines, in power armor hydraulics of this size would be incredibly out of place. More weight than actual locomotion. Plus it would move rather slowly. There are people actually working on power armor today who are trying to perfect a substance that works much like our own muscles only stronger. Maybe something like that might be worth looking into.

Yer I know the stuff your referring to, like the Neno suit in Crysis, I might do one like that one day

love it. This one look like Tau Empire Unit so that'a make me love it more. You said there will be a human inside, I can't imagine how to sit in it because the size is just 15 feet...and the hover head gear that's mean it will attach to the pilot head. right?
on the back you should put more armor plate to cover the engine so it will help to keep it unharm from light weapon.
For the weapon idea, I have no idea what you really have to put in but it's heavy armor so it should be the weapon the can blast out the tank or a squad in one shot and should have only one side R or L, maybe plasma blaster? heavy machine gun?
Electric blaster? missile launcher?
or if you use light armor plate with booster on the back so it's gonna be high movement speed unit so I suggest close combat on one hand with a shield, maybe light metal plate or plasma shield...or maybe close combat and one hand gun for small fire power effective with infantry unit.
that's all I can think about right now, love to see when it's finished.
Hope my idea have you some

A railgun, definitely. What program are you using to build this?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm fairly shore its going to have a railgun on each shoulder and I'm building it in 3ds max.

When I first saw this I immediately went 'tau'. Were they an inspiration? Assuming the human pilot is in the core of the body, I'd say maybe put some extra amour plates there to emphasis that, but this is just an opinion. Weapons...everywhere and anywhere seems appropriate. Perhaps add in modular docks so the suit could be kitted out for various roles?

This may come as a surprise but the tau battle suits where not an inspiration for this design, I like the "modular docks" Idea though,
π: 0 β©: 1
well, it is a little surprise but fair enough anyway.

Is that a 40k Tau battle suit? 'Cause colors, the head, and the general shape reminds me of those...

a manual lifting or sampling mech use in recovery or analysis. Drill bits or probes for soil.

as a bit of a tau-crisissuit-vibe to it ... nice

Legs look like the thing could leap quite a distance. Jets on the back to give it more distance on the leap, maybe? Not jets big enough so that it could fly, just leap farther. Claws, swords could work. Retractable blades. Maybe a short range plasma gun. Good concept. I'm interested in seeing where this ends up. Amazing job, so far!

The jet pack your talking about is Known as a (Jump Pack) and yeah that is an awsome idea
π: 0 β©: 0
Weapon Idea (Give it a Long Sniper like cannon on its left arm and a Chain Sword (A sword whith a chain saw Blade) in its right
π: 0 β©: 1
ah the good ol' chain sword, a staple of WH:40K!
π: 0 β©: 0
Give it a GIANT gun mounted to it's wrists. By giant, I mean like something that would be out of place mounted to an AC-130.
π: 0 β©: 0
First of all, this is really awesome!!!
For the weapons...I don't know, give it machine guns welded on both arms. No, better yet, on one arm give it a giant assault rifle/grenade launcher, on the other give it a chain gun, and on the shoulders give it some kind of laser weapon. Maximum firepower for human armory

I am always a fan of shoulder mounted weapons. A large indepent gun barrel on one shoulder and a missile pack on the other
Some form of side arm in a leg holster would also look quite cool

wow this is really good, id love to see it in a game

For small manned mechs like this one, I think it makes sense for them to have some sort of energy sword. They tend to face very well armored, and often nimble, opponents which can be hard to nail with bullets. The right kind of sci-fi sword can pierce armor at close range. Also, having some sort grenade or missile launcher with multiple types of warheads makes it more versatile. In what sort of situations would these be deployed?
π: 0 β©: 1
you could deploy it fairly much anywhere, it would be very versatile.

I've always had the though for palm cannons, similar in principal to Iron Man's. Imagine a large forearm cannon with a large claw for grappling and grabbing.
I'll admit though, a 15 foot tall machine wont be able to hang on the side of a building very well.
Vague? maybe. But ideas tend to be.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yer I get the Idea, But I think I what to give it very modern weapons, every weapon will fire bullets ect... 
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm reminded of a Tau Crisis Suit. Good work!

Same here! They're over due for an update, Maybe GW'll take an interest in these designs and ask Avitus to do some work for em?
π: 0 β©: 0
i would say a close range infantry surpression weapon would be a good idea, as a secondary weapon, so your not wasting high caliber rounds on small targets
π: 0 β©: 0
consider two tau railguns on the back/shoulders, or maybe railgun on the one side, and missile pod on the other
and OF COURSE Miniguns on the hands
π: 0 β©: 0
Depends on application:
Riot/Crowd Control: Grenade Launcher and Barrier/Tower Shield
Anti-Mech: Long Barreled Sniper Rifle
City Combat: Bullpup/Carbine & Flame Thrower
All with Smoke dispensers
Good design btw.

Thanks for the input man

Looks amazing!
A combat shield and machine gun might look good.
Keep up the fantastic work!

I like this, the soft colours really work visually. If you're continuing with that colour go for a desert design on the weapons. Long Range Snipers and Pistols.
π: 0 β©: 1
good thinking mate I might just have to do that

No worries, glad to add.
