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!
