  New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
I'm going to apologize at the start Mladen, I used almost 80% of your ideas here please forgive me but your MAP's are soooo coool!!! Inspiration is obviously from Mladen.

Geordan, Great job! I actually thought Mladen had slipped another one in on us. And very cool giving Mladen credit for your inspiration. <little snip here> (...) Clean design on the leg suspension.

  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
Yeah, the "thorax" is where all the legs are connected. The turret is also connected to this place. Anyways, I probably shouldn't use terms like "thorax", but I don't know any other good name for that area. ;-) Maybe turret base, or leg connection (...)

  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
Very nice! It "feels" like a Star Wars AT-AT but this is a much more efficient design. Great work. Bobby (Neo-Oz) (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
thanks for the compliments!!!! Yeah, MAP's probably would have much more manueverability than a at-at and still have a fair amount of armour and firepower. geordan (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
 
  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
(...) Geordan and Mladen, Your MAPs are cool. Are they based on something that I don't know about? I'm not familiar with too many mechs from show, RPGs etc. It sort of reminds me of the Ice Spider Tanks from War Planets/Shadow Raiders. A CGI cartoon (...)

  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
You got it all wrong. An MAP is only one specific mecha, it is not a class. In the anime movie _Appleseed_ Shirow Masumane made a whole new class of mecha called mobile platforms. One MP can be seen near the end. My MAP and MSP are mobile platforms, (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
Everybit of inspiration came from mladen. the only animeish show I watch is Dragonball Z although gundam looks pretty enticing but I don't have the channel that it's on in my area. If you're planning on building one of these things 100% of the (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

  Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style
 
Appleseed is an anime MOVIE, so therefore the only way to watch it is by renting it. And the movie doesn't really explain a whole lot about the mobile platform. Like I said, I was inspired by it, doesn't mean that I exactly followed every "rule" or (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Very sorry!!!!!!!! I didn't mean to infringe on your own stuff that you had come up with. Very sorry indeed. Now that I see what happened it does seem quite stupid of me. So sorry. thanks for the info about the movie. Some of that stuff is pretty (...) (23 years ago, 1-Jun-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
