Description Formerly a knock off of the Spartan Destroid from Macross, here's the Archer.

I know I've used the leg pose at least thrice, but the fist-up-about-to-punch-you action was something held over from some drawings of the Spartan, which is my favorite destroid from Macross.

True BTech fans should realize whose machine this is supposed to represent...

I like the take on the launcher doors.
Very practical and probably quick to open yet solid protection when closed.
BT got way too many designs from other franchises and was hurt by that repeatedly.
More original designs early on would have saved them a lot of headaches.
Even now Harmony Gold tries to stop BattleTech and MechWarrior 5 from launching...

Great piece. Like your take on it and especially the sketch/coloring style.

well the Archer is obviously that of Wolf's Dragoons Colonel Jamie Wolf, inspired by the picture from the cover of the novel Wolves on the Border.

excellently done.

Nicely done! A a nice nod to you-know-who's personal 'mech!

That may be, but this isn't a royal guard machine.

So is it a Wolfs Dragoon or a Steiner Royal Guards Archer ?

The insignia on the leg isn't telling?

Yes, yes, yes!!! That is an awesome way to do the doors. Looks like a more nimble and hands on Archer we've been needing!

Well the insignia is Wolf's Dragoons, but I dunno who might be the pilot. Interesting way you have the LRM pods.. the doors are different from both the Btech and Macross versions.

Oook, very good design, your coloring is getting better. He nearly looks like a Marine Dreadnaught from 40K - I guess they all come from a similar stock.
