As threatened around 2 months ago in
this post, I finally present my
newest mech, the MAAP-210.

I shudder in fear, I think it would take the combined firepower of every mech
I’ve ever built to bring this monstrosity down.
You’ve really accomplished a lot of the Mladen cues on the MAAP-210, like the
studlessness, the tight color scheme, cramped cockpit, interchangeable weapons,
and glaring tactical vulnerability to aerial assault.
I really love the fact that you can pose it with the front and/or rear legs
elevated, that gives it a lot of potential, more similar to one of Eric’s
mid-sized mechs. I’d love to see it crawling over the wall of the Iron Reich’s
Ministry of Information Retrieval. I also like the slope combinations on the
“shin” portion of the leg.
Despite its deadly-serious military purpose, I still somehow get the feel of the
Allister “whimsy” (prime examples being the Roo mech, puppymech, and EB mech).
My one criticism is that I would have omitted the control sticks, or perhaps
used just the bases.
