Marauder round 1.

Done in 30 mins. My goal is to work out a design that does not look like a rip off of Robotech (like changing the top AC5 to hug the body).

Kind of mix it up.

One of the hardest things to do with chickenwalkers is make sure that they actually look like they're able to stand. If we were to draw an imaginary line from the perceived center of gravity of the torso and arms, you must make sure that the machine's feet are adequately related to it to be supporting the mech.

keep it up.

One of my favorite mechs, good job better than i could have done, thats for sure. I actually think it looks like more of a mass-producable design (easier to produce flat surfaces than curved ones.) Looks like a mech that would actually be built too.

And did robotech really come before Mechwarrior?

It's nice and looks quite differently, but Harmony Gold would still not allow it. :)

What even if you rework it by 10% ?

Harmony gold wants the gold?
At least they don't have there hands on my King Crab.

This is the original Shadow Hawk:

And this is his MekTek remake (10% are different for sure):

And yet, they got green from Harmony Gold only because it is a non-profitable mod. :blink:
