The new Eastern Block T-49 “C.R.U.S.H.” Combat Reflex Unit Surface Hardware is
the recent answer to 3vil and PCS hardware build up. Primarily to compete
against the 3vil Hovertank (both), DEEPFRAH, and the PCS LASER.
It is armed with a heavy combat-version Tesla Coil, similar to the E34/T but
only larger voltage. It also has a compliment of 24 SRMs, and a Twin Frapcannon.
The CRUSHs are piloted by soldiers fallen in battle, who give their bodies to
the State to become a organic processor unit for these machines. It is also
piloted by brainwashed, captured soldiers on some instances.
(obviously inspired by the WH40K Dreadnought, thanks to Sandlin for help along
design.)

Mmmmm, beefy. I would not want to meet this guy in battle, that’s fo’ shurr. As
was said elsewhere, the various angledeverywhereness of this guy rocks. I also
like the finishing touches of the “trophies”. The only suggestion I have would
be to change the Tesla Coil so that it tapers more. I dunno what the Dreadnaught
looks like but I think the effect might be better.

Now, Rick, I could be wrong but that sounds a tad 3vil to me. Where’d you find
your scientists?
Thanks for sharing.

This looks like a major appliance gone horribly wrong...some kind of industrial
washer/dryer with the legs of a Soviet olympic power-lifter. Is it coin
operated? Maybe you should substitute a circular viewing port to complete the
image. I think the Tesla Coil is my favorite detail...very cool and original.
I don’t think I’ve seen such a device on a mech before. You are one of the few
builders who consistently designs for the EB theme well, the mocs are more than
just a color scheme and a Russian sounding name.
Exellent work, Mr. Rick

Inspired by? Uhhh, I’d say “shamelessly ripped off from” I if were a snarky
Canadian, but I’m not. (Truth be told, I think it can be hard to build a
minifig-scale rendition of something that actually captures the essence of said
thing; you were able to do that while improving on the design.) I dig the
thought of a platoon of these guys striding across the battlefield.
Also, the PCS helmet totem is an awesome touch...another 40K homage that is used
brilliantly. The color scheme looks great, too.
Finally, I leave for Russia tomorrow, and while I’m at the military factory in
Votkinsk I’ll keep my eyes out for any T-49s leaving the assembly line. You
know, just in case.

Hey Rick. Best rendition of the WH40K Dreadnought EVER!
I have seen others done on Brickshelf but I have to say this is my
favorite so far.
I enjoyed your changes here and there but you have
captured the Dreadnought really close. I have always been a fan WH40K
so this was a treat for me.
Thanks and regards,
David.
