Finally! This mecha took way too long to complete. I started it after Christmas, and only got it done yesterday. I guess age slows you down. Heh. :-p

Anyways, this mobile platform is similar in some ways to my MTP, which I did all the way back in 2003. However, there are references to my other mobile platforms, as well.

I should also mention that this mecha is quite stable. In fact, after the MDP and MWP, it is one of the most stable MPs I’ve ever built. Even on slick surfaces it does not collapse. Ironically however, if I lift it up, the middle leg joints pull themselves apart and the legs dangle. Oh well. :-)

Enjoy!

That is really something. As its’ been said, very utilitarian looking. To be honest I didn’t like the look of it at first, but the more I looked it over the more it grew on me. I esepecially like the inclusion of the knee-joint armor plates; something that’s lacking in a lot of Mechs of all kinds. The rail guns are too skinny for my tastes, but I’m the kind of guy that likes big, fat guns that bark as mean as their bite.

Thanks Anthony!

I get what you’re saying about the guns. I would love to make long, round-barrelled guns, but LEGO only makes 1x1 or 2x2 rounded tubes. 1x1 is IMO too skinny for the primary cannons, and 2x2 is too fat. I really wish there was a 1.5x1.5 stud version of those Technic tubes. :-)

  
I can just imagine this thing lumbering over a battlefield, the earth shuddering with each foot fall. It fires off both rail guns, one after the other; takes another step and sprays the ground with its’ gatling gun. Ooh what a great stop motion scene that would make.

Yeah, that would be cool!

I really want to experiment with stop-motion LEGO photography in the future. Of course, not with a model the size of the MMP, but definitely some kind of small or medium size mecha.
