When Allister McLaren built his name this mech , Rick Hallman suggested he name it the Spartan, because it
had green on it, and Rick is from “MSU country”, meaning he lives nearby
Michigan State University. Well, I graduated from Michigan State U, and this
inspired me to build a Spartan of my own design. But the Spartan mech was
only half the fun, I also had to build a smaller mech for the Spartan to beat
up on, in the “maize” and blue (okay, yellow and blue) colors of our
archrivals, the University of Michigan Wolverines. So, here we see the
Wolverine medium mech facing off against the Spartan assault mech...

Damn you, damn you straight to hell! You are making the rest of us bulky mech
builders look bad! Jealousy aside, i REALLY like the spartan. The legs are
massive! It looks kinda like a marauder, with horrible leg fat. The color scheme
is downright awesome, i love it!
The wolverine is also quite cool. Like alot of your other mechs, it reminds me
of the razorback from battletech. Although that may be because primus bus did
his in the same color scheme. I really like the angles on the torso of the
wolverine as well.
It’s also good to see the face behind the builder. I think i might do some sort
of “lenny shot” for my next mech as well, all the cool kids are doing it!
Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see what’s next!
