Hello all,
I submit for your perusal ( and hopefully your approval :)! ) the Tripedal
Assault Unit, or T.A.U. for short.
deep link: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=1312395
The T.A.U. is a long range fire support Mecha equipped with energy weapons
only. It was designed to be able to stay fight capable during protracted
engagements that would have ammunition dependent Mecha drop out of the fight
long before the battle was over.
Again as with all my Mecha designs, the T.A.U. is meant to be used in games of
Battletech. And yes Mark, that means I have made up rules for a Tripod Mech
(I just haven’t finished my record sheet on the computer yet)!
I have not yet sat down and made the Mech on paper, but these are the weapons
it will have.
2- Extended Range Particle Projection Cannons
1- Extended Range Large Laser
2- Extended Range Medium Lasers
The T.A.U. has three modes of activity.
1. Movement mode:

2. Firing mode:

3. Storage Mode:

Enjoy!

Very nice! At first glance I notice a passing structural similarity to the
J-227 Quadwalker, of which I am also quite fond.
I tried my hand at a tripod mech a
while back with, it must be admitted, less success than your design (it’s the
third picture down on the page). Nice job on yours, and thanks for sharing!
Dave!

| (...) snip (...) Actually, Dave, I like your design quite a bit. So, you didn't take pains to get your legs at 270 degrees which I as a glutton for punishment did, big deal!I also think that your design would walk a lot better than mine. Your stuff (...)
