Hello comrades. Here’s a WIP of my Iron Mech, the HUA-5c Rock Lobster aka Thundersnatch. It is a heavy assualt hover mech. It was affectionally nicknamed by its operators and ground pounders for the nasty kick the enemy recieves. It may go through another refinement by the end of the contest.

I like the footless legs, definitely make me think they employ some sort of levitation technology when the thing moves. Yes, a hover mech. (The ground pounders know to cover their faces when it hovers by, since without skirts it kicks up a lot of dust.)

The gun is great, particularly in the red color scheme.

The name is 20% of the fun.

Fun breakdown:

Legs: 25%

Gun: 25%

Name: 20%

Missile pod: 10%

Lobstery body details: 10%

Little wings on the back: 10%

Insert comic-book guy’s voice: “Best mecha-name ever”. Although I think it needs a companion mech. The adventures of Thundersnatch and Lightningrod? Oh, and the mech is pretty decent too.
