Hi guys. This is the other mecha I've been working on. The MSM-01, missile
support mecha was developed to add a longer range, hardhitting punch for other
mecha in combat such as UPMs. The dual missile pods are each capable of firing
laser guided barrages of up to 4 missiles. A second round is then reloaded
giving a total complement of 16 missiles. What appears to be a head-like
structure is actually an advanced radar and fire control system. The ordnance
can be mixed for non-combat roles such as fire suspression and crowd control.
Due to the missile payload size, a of pair machine guns were added for
self-defense. These units were meant to operate in conjunction with other mecha
in teams to offset its inherent tactical weaknesses.
Well enough techno-backstory. And yeah, this one had some Macross/Robotech
enfluences. I've thrown in some pics of the MSM alongside a UPM for size
comparison and niftyness.

I like the way you hinged the front of the mech, it not only allows access, but the hinge joints break up squared corners in the torso. I just wish the top set of hinges were light gray (...)
