    New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style —Geordan Ballantree
    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. The moment I saw the latest one I went nuts and started building my own right (...) (23 years ago, 31-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

         Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style —Mladen Pejic
     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 (...)

     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> (...)

         Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style —Geordan Ballantree
     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 —Mladen Pejic
     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 —Mladen Pejic
     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)
   
        Re: New Six legged mecha!!!!! MAP!! Mladen style —Todd Trotter
   (...) Geordan and Mladen, Your MAPs are cool. Are they based on something that I don't know about?

   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.
