So I got bored years ago and built this. Its not overly fancy but the chicken-walker legs were particularly tricky to do.
I don't know what mech it resembles. I designed it as I built it, though it does look somewhat familiar to me... maybe a vulture or something, I dont know.

If you have seen a similar mech or one that I unintentionally copied, please tell me.

I honestly am not sure so it is so I just named Minotaur MK-I
Its a medium to heavy mech that sports an missile rack, top turret auto cannons, and medium lasers on the arm
Depending on the varient may have energy based or ballistic main cannon and range can vary as well depending on the type of missiles and arm weapons you arm it with but overall its suppose to be multipurpose and fast for a medium to heavy mech.
But due to its disproportions it has stability issues and will have a tendency to fall down when moving and hit in the lower limbs.
also has ammo issues if you choose to mount ballistic weapons onto its arm.

I hope you enjoy it.

Argus?

Kind reminds me of a Bushwacker. I came up with a variant based on what it looks like. Pretty mean. 55 tons 5/8 10dhs full armor. 1 LRM 20 12 rounds, 1 RAC/5 60 rounds, 2 ER mediums lasers. You could trim down the ammo, cut the LRM to a 15 and add a SRM 6. Neat looking though,

Good job Legomaniac

very much like a Shadowcat. I like it. Also has some Bushwacker parallels.

What would be cool is you build and Atlas that's the size of a human.

[Snowflake Muffin]

Thanks guys! It does look somewhat like an argus but missing the main cannon up top. And full sized atlas?! That would be cool! not nearly enough materials for that tho.

[AceWreckingCrew]

With the current price of legos that might cost as much as a real Atlas!!

With the cockpit looking acute, and having reverse jointed legs that does look like a Bushwacker (my favorite 'mech). What makes this kind of not a bushwacker is how many of the launchers and barrels that are found of the right side (from perspective of looking at it from the front) are on the left.

Neat job man, I love Legos .

[Christos DeSchaine]

With the top mounted cannon, kinda makes me think of a Legionare.

[Sychodemus]

Looks like a wierd mix of a Targe, Bushwacker and Legionnaire.

In other words, it is very different. Nice job.
