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.

As threatened around 2 months ago in (URL) this post>, I finally present my newest mech, the MAAP-210. (URL) This is my attempt at building something in Mladen's favoured style. It turned out a lot bigger than I originally intended. Eight legs also (...) (20 years ago, 27-Sep-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, FTX) !
