   The chain-guns were a late addition, mainly to fulfill the Mladenist requirement for multiple weapons loadouts - missile launchers may follow later.


I liked the chain guns, if not a tad oversized, (if the body were to match those guns it’d work, but then wieght is always an issue isn’t it?) I thought the big gun on the back might be better served if replaced with a head. Especially when I looked at the pick from front on, a head up top might be kind of cool. The gun was a tad too oversized and looks cartoony.


   p.s. and yes, true to form, on a slippery surface it does fall over at a fly’s fart, hence the baseplate.

That’s why I started trying to work in rubber on mechs’ feet. If I can sneak it yea, if not, oh well. But with this design it probably wouldn’t fit.

I dig it though. Big and menacing. Great addition. Welcome to the I use worm gears for my mechs club!

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) !
