Description Not much to say about these; just some bipedal armored suits I've been working on. Still trying to get back into the mech thing, intermittently. These would go nicely with a dry white wine and some rice pilaf during any era of the Flea War.

Heh, awesome! How large are these in comparison to their pilots?

Oh wow, good question...Well, on the top one you can actually see the pilot's helmeted head within the cockpit canopy bubble, so that should give some idea of scale. The bottom two are both larger but approximately the same scale relative to one another, and if you look closely at the one on the right you can see the canopy bubble in the center of the machine, protected by that rollbar. (It has breakaway seams down the center to fragment easily in case of pilot ejection.) The bottom one is about the same size, though the pilot relies on video pickups for environmental data and therefore the machine lacks a cockpit for scale.

Ahhh, I see!

Also, another almost unrelated question that I just thought of.

You know those guardians on Mars and Venus? Well mostly Venus, are there any flying types? Or would air pick-up be a good way to get out of dodge if they happen to stir up one of those hell-mouths?

Oh wow, that's a good question but it has kind of a lengthy answer. I'll note you!
