Told ya I would make something
It's supposed to be a heavy variant of Flea, in about the same weight class as the Dragon (55-60). The added weight comes from the added hardpoints, larger armor, and well...arms. I don't know if that's really acceptable.
Doesn't really look all that different from the original otherwise.

Thank you for editing your post, I'm glad you understand. :-). At least for me, sharing my art is a move that makes me feel very vulnerable... I'm baring a part of myself, and I know that I and others will feel more comfortable doing this stuff if we all keep on a good supporting track. So... can we look forward to an Adridos special edition Supersized Mech? We would all love to have another participant!

And speaking of participants... where is Bishop Steiner? I always look forward to seeing his work... even if it does make me insanely jealous.

Sorry, Bishop works retail sales. Black Friday (or in my case Black Thursday-Saturday) has left me a little burned out and behind on getting to this.

Oh, it's totally acceptable, because it's totally awesome! I like it... what weapons did you decide it was loaded with?

Ick, I worked retail one year during the Black Friday madness, and it totally wiped me out. We can be patient.

Been following these Mech of the Week treads for a while and have just been too bussy to join, but not this week.

Introducing the Scarab, a heavy variant of the Cicada. About 70 tons and this variant sports 2 ER PPCs and 2 UAC5s.

I originally intended this as a lighter Command and Controle unit more mobile than your typical Cyclops. it has a shorter profile to reduce it's silhouette and hitbox.

There's something I really like about the angled armor plates at the sides of the mech. I wish the in-game Cicada had those.

I was thinking that the left and right torso mounts would hold medium lasers (4 total). The right arm would hold a larger ballistic weapon such as an AC-10 (maybe even a gauss), and the left arm a smaller AC-5.

The little machine gun like thing in the center torso I'm not too sure about. Alex' design on which I based my own variant had one on it, and I thought it would be characteristic to keep it. I guess a larger mech has uses for a machine gun too.

Am having a creative block on my supersize mech, but the StreetSweeper inspired me to knock out a quick Urbie of my own........

At first I laughed at the idea of a supersized urbs, but then I realized this is actually really cool. The added lights look very nice.

Yes... people find that idea funny until they faced an Imp at some point.
