I’ve just completed my first mecha build ever. It is the OTOMech Model TK-MM
and is the brainchild of the industrial design unit of ToT-LUG Industries and it
is the first mech to come out of the up-and-coming design house. Weighing in at
roughly 100 tons, it is designed as a mid-sized walker designed to support a
ground attack. The walker stands roughly 35 feet high and can achieve ground
speeds of up to 24 km/hr in transit mode. In primary attack mode, speeds are
slightly lower due to diversion of power from the main drive unit to the
auxiliary weapons and countermeasures systems.
I have never built a mech before, but I got assigned the category in the first
round of the 2009 MOCOlympics. As I was sketching out various ideas for this, I
felt I needed to try something that nobody else had ever done. It needed to be
something that would defy the traditional mech genre. The OTOMech Model TK-MM
represents my “girlish” side that enjoys things like fashion, shopping, and
Shojo manga. Thanks to Mark Larson for the Fabuland Armored Guard Lab and
Unit-design Group “power brick”.
