| | | Greetings to one and all. Well, after a long time of nothing new (except the Drislogan section) I finaly post a MOC. Although it fits into my Mobile Armor Unit line, I consider this to be something completely differant. I give you the Swarm (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| | | | | Very cool Mark! Looks like it has great mobility. The head's pretty sweet too. ;-) Hope to see more, oh, and do you have any real pics? (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks for the kind comments! I designed it to be as mobile as possable. To tell the truth, I'm not sure where I got the inspireation for the head, but I know the rest came from the Shrike from Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion by Dan Simmons. (...)

| | | | | Oh neat! the head is very cool, I like all the angle slopes! Does it take long to make that in the computer? I don't know how to do that CAD stuff. Those parts you used for the feet are cool, some of my fav parts. Good luck! Legomaster (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I worked alot of last night and this morning and completed it this afternoon. (With school breaks, of (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I was actualy planning on releasing one with two LRM-2 missle packs on its shoulders instead of the two spike-pads. (...) Again, thank you. :) -- (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | Re: The Swarm Warriors. —Christopher Snead
|
| | | | | (...) Cool! I like the idea of having large quantities of small mecha that behave in almost a hive-like behavior. I tried mass producing an Insectoid mecha, but those darn hinges w/ the technic pins you have used are notoriously hard to come by. I (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

You can find a bunch those joints there. WAL-MART also has discounted (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

If you kill the queens, all the workers and warriors spawned by them will sort of (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks! Took me a while to get a satisfactory one. At first I was going to use the one that the OMAUs have. (They're in the Exosuits section, if you want to see. It wouldn't have worked well.) Feel free to take any ideas you like. -- Mark (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

|
| | | | | (...) Sorry. Can't help you. Don't have anything bad to say. Like the rest, I like the head and the slope plating-- just makes for a nice, smooth look. And I love the size! Just right for making a bunch, and having them fight everywhere! My one and (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

I didn't want to make them to big, and I thought that the size I got was just right. (...) (...) (22 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | Don't know what to say except that you've done a really good looking mecha. My first impression was, "cool! Ninja." I think the only suggestion I can add is do a hth weapon. Like a sword. Also, what might be interesting is seeing variations of color (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

There would be different colors depending on what Queen they belonged (...) (22 years ago, 6-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
