Hey'all! It's been awhile since I posted a new mecha, but here it is, the Byzantine Tiger, (yes it's the same one as in my story) I don't really like giving a explanation for my mecha anymore, but this one sort of begs it so here goes, My (...)

Hey, wow G-Meist that's really good. Whoa what a shlong missle rack, Ha! way to go! Man, you get credit just for that part alone! I like the chest how you angled the slopes on their sides.
