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!

A lot of influences showed up in the Spartan--certainly the Marauder, but also
the Cauldron Born (arms and missile packs), a little bit of Gundam in the
different slopes on the feet/ankles, and some Metal Gear Rex influence in the
cockpit canopy.

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.
|
I really like the Razorback-style legs for some reason.
| |
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!
|
You should definitely do it.
| |
Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see what’s next!
|
Thanks, Frank!
