I’ve been seeing great mecha MOCs on the internet for years (starting with
Marsbase and Pallas Spaceworks) and I’ve finally got some pics of my own to
post.
This is my big dropship:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=79977
I took inspiration from the Talon dropship of the Mechwarrior universe, and the
Pillar of Autumn starship (narrow hexagonal cross-section) from the XBox game
Halo.
It holds either two heavy mechs or one (smallish) assault mech in the center
section and either a medium mech or a light mech plus some power suits in both
the front and back section.
It’s definitely not as cool as some of the craft they’ve got on .space, but
let’s face it, aren’t mech dropships basically the panel-vans of 31st century
combat?

| (...) Nice ship, way bigger than I thought at first glace. Impressive. I really like the engine area. The mecha are also very nice. I don't like the sides as much: I like using plates as walls myself, and I also actually like some bare surfaces, but (...) (20 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Hey Kyle, I like your take on a mecha dropship, I think its an area that hasn't been explored enough, and it combines .mecha and .space nicely...like peanutbutter and chocolate. While I agree with whoever said that its a bit unrefined (ie. might (...) (20 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
