Multi Ordnance Armor-Bipedal (MOAB)

After Mladen posted his Stalwart,
I wanted to do a mech design inspired by the Wanzers from the Front Mission
series of games. I’ve never played the game, but I have a Wanzer toy that I
posed with the two MOABs so you can get the idea.
This is the first time I’ve done a mech with arms, hands and a head. I used
Todd Amacher’s hand design, and the head was inspired by Moko’s Gundam heads.
Something of Soren’s always works itself in, and this time it’s his muzzle-brake
cannon barrel.
My second objective was to build something larger than a power armor that can
carry an entire fig and still fit in my dropship. One of the guys in the
Classic Space forum basically said, “what’s with all the wasted space in
there?”, and he was right. It was a tight squeeze, but I can get both MOABs and
all their weapons into the Aggressor.
I’ll acknowledge that the color schemes aren’t as tight as I’d like, due to
parts availability, but otherwise I’m happy with how these turned out.
Enjoy, comments welcome!

| Kyle! I must say a week ago I ventured in to check out the newest Vrieze creation and was quite sorely disappointed. Upon initial inspection it looked like you had ditched completely the perfect, refined form that you had achieved with the spider (...) (19 years ago, 26-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| What strikes me is the immediate anime look to them. Like the more cartoony style, which BTW I consider to be very cool. beefy and well armed, no surprise that I'm liking that. The dropship shot with stores is very cool. I completely forgive the (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
