Raven light assault mech (updated)

Post by Bragallot » Sun Nov 13, 2011 3:18 am

The Raven is a light mech in the Neo-Prussian Empire best used for scouting and infantry support due to it's speed. It's inspired by Mechwarrior, as most of you will have realized ;)

Image

First time using this colour scheme for the Prussians, (blue replaced the black so I could build more) I'm not unhappy with it.

Image

The Raven isn't built to shine in 1 particular role (save perhaps scouting) but is adequate at everything instead.

Image

Hence the weaponry: Twin light lasers and a machine gun against infantry, two heavy cannons to take on vehicles and two particle beams that can keep up a constant attack and deal damage over time, also useful against air assaults.

Image

Added leg armour (as advised by Ex Bajir ;)) and thrusters that allow him to make short leaps or jump unto platforms.

Image

The hatch fits a mini snugly. This is why white uniforms aren't allowed in Prussian burger restaurants.

It's also equipped with a light shield generator, forgot the picture for it now but I'll add it later.

Edit:

Image

The Raven evening out a skirmish.

Image

Notice the shields where the Immortal Alliance is trying to shoot it. The coupled armour-shields are enough to keep it safe against most handheld weapons.

No, I wasn't going for that this time around. I make stuff poseable when I want to be able to pose it (like the Gekka), otherwise I'd be using joints I could use elsewhere.

A pretty decent mech, although I find the top hatch a bit ugly. The blue/light blue color scheme fits well. Looking forward for more mech works Brag :)

Brag, just like sit down with your technic and hinge and tap parts and put them together in a random fashion until you find a method of articulation that you like. Then build something out of it if possible. That's how I came up with my Black Knight hardsuit design, and a new arm design that might one day replace it. But yea my experience is that articulated mecha are Over 9000 times cooler than ones which can barely move. I spent a couple of days figuring out the design for the Black Knight, so this stuff takes patience but the reward of a nice mecha is incredibly awesome.
