This summer I built a team of power-armor mercenaries, and I wanted to build
them a ship to get to the battlefield with, and here it (finally) is:
Click any pick for the Brickshelf gallery, or click
here for the Mocpage.
I looked at Soren’s “Lying Bastard” a lot while building, and tried to expand on
his Pirate color scheme, also using some of his gun muzzles and greebs.
Mladen’s work influenced the square-barrel gun and missile boxes. The cockpit
bears a resemblance to Trevor Pruden’s Orca dropship, and the “thruster shot” is
reminiscent of Keith Goldman’s “Ghoul”. (There’s a joke in there somewhere, I
just know it.) I also used one of Paul Hartzog’s chair designs. I probably
missed a credit here, so let me know if I used your idea and didn’t mention you.
I never thought I’d use twelve of those AT-AT click hinges in one MOC, but here
you go.

| Stop talking about my thrusters, Kyle, I'm sensitive about that ;) Although there have been only a handlful of mecha-style dropships this is clearly one of the best. As I mentioned on my MOCpages review, I like the salad-bar approach you took to the (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) This is pretty darn good Kyle. I was looking forward to this dropship since a while ago you mentioned you were working on one. You did not disappoint. I most say you have done a great job with the “rugged, let’s get these boys down” look. The (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Kyle, I like the color scheme, the lifting doors, the weapons array, and the engine are neat, but I've got a few issues, and they have nothing to do with your building style or how it looks--it's more of a few technical/physics/science-based (...)

| (...) This thing is pretty nice. It bothers me that it doesn't have any thruster pods or engines at the front, but your techsplanation for that is acceptable. It strikes me as a sort of space-only vessel, and looks pretty good for that. Missiles are (...) (20 years ago, 18-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| Wow, Kyle. That's rather amazing. I'd have to say my favorite part would be the top gun turret. I've always been partial to Mladen's square barrel. I do agree with Daniel that it needs more front boosters. But, then again, who am I to talk? I can't (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Kyle this is magnificent! I love the overall shape and the weapons/detailing. Along with Mark N.'s dropship, this is one of the few ships that looks cool and carries huge cargo. As always, I'm very impressed and somewhat humbled by your work. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) <snip> (...) I think it's righteous. It's hard to make something like this that doesn't look blah. You did a good job creating the look of a functional and not boring to look at, drop ship. Right on man. The colors didn't desturb me, I always (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| Hey man. Cool ship. Gotta question though. Is the drop bay one continous walk through section or 3 walled off individual ones? I can't tell by the pictures. I noticed some people think the suits are too small for the bays but it seems spacious (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Couple of Comments: Love the forward section, looks like it could detach and connect on to other vehicles. The detailing and curviture to the front gives it a smooth connection to the hanger portion. I don't think the mechs are too small. (...)
