Sheesh I'm pretty slow, I've been replying to these posts since I got home
from school and I just figured out that maybe I should watch this movie
"appleseed" before I start rambling on about how my mecha works and it's
name etc.
Is it downloadable for free from a website, or will I have to go rent it??

thanks

geordan

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, but they all have different functions.

MAP: Mobile Assault Platform
MSP: Mobile Support Platform

And I will probably build a third one, called a MDP (Mobile Defence Platform).

Your mecha, Geordan, is neither one, because it is not developed by the
Blacktronian mecha manufactures (therefore does not have a weapon of mass
destruction such as MY railgun, which the Blacktronians are only capable of
making) and because it is not a support mecha.

Mladen Pejic, over and out!

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.

Very nice!  It "feels" like a Star Wars AT-AT but this is a much more • efficient
design.  Great work.

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 away nonstop for three days, every
bit of free time I got I built. I took mladen's ideas in most areas and
changed them somewhat but most of the credit goes to Mladen.

each leg has suspension( one of the pictures shows this)
instead of one hatch into the cockpit I made two, upper and lower to add
extra armour from above. the rail can move up and down somewhat.

there are turntables mounted on either side. machine guns can be mounted
here unfortunately I did not take photos of the one I made. I t can stand
very well
but like Mladen's B-05, it starts to slip one slippery surfaces. It has twin
guns mounted below to take care of any advancing troops.

It is not as good as Mladen's but I still like it. Pleeeeeeeese let me know
what you think I'd appreciate it. any constructive critisism is very welcome

thanks a ton(sorry again Mladen!)
I'll let the pictures speak the rest!!!!!

thanx

Geordan

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)
