For quite a while I’ve wanted to build an smaller-scale battlesuit/mech, and
I’ve finally come up with something. I can’t actually put a minifig inside,
due to the constraints of the shoulder and hip joints, but I still kind of
like it.
I present the Landshark powered battlesuit, tasked with support of
ground-based infantry and vehicles. The weapon on the right arm is an
over/under double-barreled slug-thrower, while the assembly on the left arm
is a high-density plasma flamer.
The suit is also supposed to have a shoulder-mounted cannon, but I managed to
omit that from the rendering. Whoops. I’ll post a followup when I get it
put together.
Meantime, here you go. Effusive praise is welcome, as is acrimonious
derision:

Thanks for looking!

My review of the Landshark is thusly:
First off, I’m not hip enough to even know the meaning of “jonesing,” but that
aside, I like this AMOC you have created here, Dave! The proportions are
pleasingly cute, like a Pixar character, which may actually serve its operators
on the battlefield. The enemy may be emboldened by a sense of superiority over
the toyish appearance of the Landshark, and be lulled into a sense of
complacency, which would give the advantage to the Landshark. America loves the
underdog, and you have sewn up this role nicely. Well done, Dave!
Now, I have to say that I am more than a bit disappointed given the fact that I
cannot put a minifig into this suit. This destroys playability in my view, and
is bordering on a deal-breaker for me. Get thee back to MLCAD and rectify this
cringeworthy shortcoming. Your sons will thank you later.
The armament seems sufficient, although I am a little worried about the short
legs-- will the Landshark be able to keep up with vehicles on convoys?
All in all, I give your AMOC 4 supernovas out of 5: ****
Thanks for posting, Dave!
