a little i guess, idk i never was into those too much, i'd say most of the inspiration is from AC and phantomcrash

A poor mans version of the Gladiator Destroid. Still acceptable if properly used.

Yes from ROBOTECH. Also FASA used it under the name and designation ARC-2R AERCHER. It was used in the Technical Readout 3025. It is a 70 ton mech with 4 medium laser, 2 rear firing only, and 2 long range missile launcher with 20 missile per launch. Known as LRM 20. if you could check the original book, you will see them, all ROBOTECH mecha in black and white and line detail. Also included is the Calibur from the series DORVACK. It is a jeep that change into robot. Check YouTube to see some of it. Maybe you could finish the design. It must look great.

Keep up the gre3at work man!!!

Wow! Great!
That cockpit looks like a toilet, but its very more pratical than a "robot head", and I guess it can give more protection to the pilot also
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, thats what I was thinking, well not the toilet part >__< but you know!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I like the overall design, but I can't help but to think that it still needs a head.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha nonsense, heads just get blown off. xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Cool design! I like the cockpit design especially.
I agree on the backward facing clip. Unless it's firing some kind of rocket grenades that are larger in front than behind, it makes no sense.
Could I make a suggestion? On the final, think of ammo carriers. How you carry extra ammo on projectile weapon carrying mecha somehow gets overlooked. That clip will only last you so long. You need more to stand up in battle.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah haha, i know i clip failed, as you can see the one he is actually holding doesn't have the clip, so idk. And do you mean like an amo feed system attached to the unit?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Could be that. Like the belt feed mechanism on some full size machine guns that is flexible but allows the rounds to slide through it. That or else a lot of extra clips clamped onto the armor. If it's a projectile weapon and is full auto, you need LOTS of ammo to keep it fed. In a fullbore firefight the average soldier can go through 6 30rd magazines in less than 2 minutes.
For that reason in most of my mecha/armor designs that have hand held weapons I usually have a laser or plasma rifle on top, and a clip fed grenade/rocket launcher on the bottom. Cause unless the guy/gal is festooned with ammo, they'll run out sooner or later. In Viet Nam a lot of American soldiers got killed with empty guns in their hands because they ran out of ammo.
Go thou, and do not likewise.

Hmm yeah, I'll keep it in mind next time. I dont usually draw weapons on my mecha xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand. I tend to go in the opposite direction and have built in weapons on my mecha. (I really like shoulder mounts for energy weapons and missiles. Projectiles I either like hand held or built into the forearms because you can handle a heavier recoil down close to the center of gravity better than at shoulder height.)
But, of course, that's just my preferences. Do as you see best and happy mech building!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I either do a mecha with no weapons, or one, who's arms are basically weapons. But yeah I wil, and you too!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I understand. Most of my armor designs have melee weapons, so a shoulder mount frees the arms to wreak havoc at close range while the shoulder mount takes care of long range threats.
About the only good reason I can see for having a hand held weapon on a mech is so you don't have to give your soldiers extra training. They can use their regular infantry training and tactics. The problem is that this would only be applicable if the machine was slaved to the pilot's body. If you're having to use joysticks, it seems to me you're better off with built in weapons.
I like shoulder mounts because because then you can slave the targeting system to the pilot's head or eye movements. Here's one of my armor designs, if you get time to look you'll see it's got shoulder mounted energy weapons and gauntlet weapons as well.
Have a good one!

I dont see your design?

Was having technical difficulties and trying to do to much at one time. Sorry bout that.
Here's the link

And one to one of my armors with a hand held weapon (a rarity for me)
[link]
As I said, sorry bout that.

Ah cool, yeah I see what you mean by the shoulder thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. By linking the to the head movements all my guy has to do is turn his head and trigger. Kinda like Predator, only armor plated.
(Thanks for taking time to look btw)

Love the overall design, the only thing I don't like is the firearm. The backward clip concept feels kinda tacked on IMO...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah i probably wont go with that one in the final DX

I like the handle, and That gun looks real familiar--I GOT IT. Lost planet 2, it looks like one of the assault rifles.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ehh, not really, the lost planet two assault rifle is like a rip of the Famas
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, look at the gunblade.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i sorta see a resemblance? Idk there aren't mant pics, and I only played the first one
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, well...it's not as triangular and cool looking, but similar.

Backward clips are teh fail
Cool otherwise, leave room for an engine/power pack
