HVT-S BUZZARD series

This is the High Versatility Triped-Sentient Buzzard minimech.
the buzzard is a new addition to my mechaforces it is powered by an internal fusionreactor capable of sustained operation for centuries before needing refueling (the fuel is simply destilled water) the Buzzard has several variants consisting of the standardversion, a heavyversion and a sniperversion

Image

In the foreground is a standard version

Image
this is the standard version featuring arms and hands capable of using most weapons.
as well as a jetpack which enables the standard version to fly.
Image
The grey little thingy on its back is the jetpack

Image
All varints of buzzards are capable of grabbing and using weapons.
The left Buzzard i using a plasma carbine and the right is using an
AP-65C anti tank rifle whichis basically a light railgun that fires depleted uranium slugs.
Image
The Buzzard features a self aware sentient AI as well as jetpacks and hands. the AI enables the buzzard to act outside programming and even have genuine personalities essentialy a mind not unlike human minds.
Image
here is a closeup of the AP65C Rifle

Image
this is the heavy variant it is equipped with two gauss cannons and a pair of miniguns mounted on its "shoulders"

Image
The heavy variant has just like the other buzzard variants a unique personality that can be described as cheerful and curious outside of combat and tactical and coldblooded during combat.
Image
here is a comparison between the heavy and a standard
Image

this is a sniper variant it is equipped with a rear mounted XM7 LRSR(Long range sniper rifle) the XM7 is capable of destroying targets from several miles away. And is even capable of adjusting power to the bullet propulsion so the bullet arcs over a hill for example and onto a target.
Image
ready to fire.
Image
here is all the buzzards gathered for a group photo
Image
I love this photo for some reason.
Image
here is a pair of standards which is usually the main assault group in a battle while getting longrange support from a heavy or a sniper. since the buzzard variants are designed for hit and run attacks with little to no support they are equipped with weak shields to increase battlefield survivability and to increase speed since they don't have any extra armour to lug around (of course the heavy and the sniper arent as fast as standards.

Image
this picture is really nice according to me it makes the heavy look so...well...heavy
Image


[Walloftext] the buzzards are quite talkative and usually initiates conversations with their human companions and with other buzzards regarding varying matters they have been shown to be quite nice companions for the human soldiers as their company have increased battlefield morale(the buzzard isn't only a highly effective killing machine it is also a enjoyable killing machine). this is also another reason to why the buzzard was developed since many humans found most mech models to be arrogant and even mean which of course influenced human morale altough it is unclear whether or not the old models even understood why humans suddenly despised them.
but after extensive development the buzzards AI was born which was a nice break from the usual AI personailities and complete with a new body that provided extensive combat upgrades and poof perfect little mech!

in this picture a buzzard helps a human load a skiff with energy cells.

A buzzard standard going for a morning walk/roll? (wheel feet equals smooth morning strolls and problems describing them)

thats all folks!

Holy fucking jesus those things are awesome, I adore the heavy - that thing has some serious Tau Broadside qualities to it. :twisted:

Ever thought of doing something along these lines, but on a larger scale fredde?

Very nice, although you may want to program some Pyromania and Ax-Kraziness into the 'bots, or else that personality might not cope well with shooting pplz.

These things are so cute and yet so intimidating at the same time. Amazing.

Super heavy version sounds good, but make a version with more powerful jet packs, and twin swords. The swords will eliminate the weight of the guns and will allow for faster travel, they'll be like robot ninjas! :D

Must see moar. 8)

Very impressive and very scary, I am most afraid of the sniper because it is a heavy hitter that can out-range my missile vehicle

Just out of curiosity, do you have any regular infantry, because all I've seen so far is your mechs, and that alone scares me

Heroism is not the ability to kick ass. It is the willingness to use this ability on any poor bastard who so much as looks at you funny.

well i have a few combat android(like the one in the zise comparison and i have a bunch of human soldiers (latest clone body white helmet black visor yellow head nothing fancy) and a few space ninjas!

but my forces rely mostly on few heavily armed attackmechs to make and hit and run tactics since resources are scarce (until we get the blackhole extraction rig up :twisted: )the AN can't afford many cheap cannonfodder units

Wow! :shock:
Awesome, you should add a "Love them All!" option on the pool, they all look great, and the best part is that you built 3 of them!
Great work, adding personality is an original idea
