Going Big: Prometheus Heavy BattleToad
Behold the Minotaur Heavy Tank. The mightiest piece of military ground hardver fielded by the Department of Defence.
Today that has changed.
Witness the might of our newest design the Prometheus Heavy Battlewalker:
Looking up from the ground at this monstrosity, one can not help but be humbled at the sheer enormity of it:
Stending at 22" tall with two backwards joint legs, supporting a superstructure of 12":
The Walker supports a 3" anti air gatling cannon, an advanced sensors package and microwarpfield generator, to provide protection against lesser threats:
Further equipment consists of a pair of a pair of 4" battlecannons and a Reaction-Propulsion-System (read: jetpack) in the aft:
The chassis supports a spacious interior (which is not yet built):
For close range Anti-Walker combat the design is equipped with an enormous sarissa(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarissa) with an OT infused tip to pierce heavy armour and energy shielding of other units of similar caliber. It gives an incredible advantage at mid range but becomes useless if the enemy gets close enough and the battlewalker is unsopported:
For long range combat the Prometheus carries a modified version of the Atlas' superheavy autocannon. This 8" belt fed device can wreac havoc from afar on multiple targets with frightening accuracy, as it is manned by a crew of six weapons officers acting in unison under the brand new C-councusness (common counciousness) sytem allowing for increased processing power of a minifig's mind:
Of course opinions suggestions or any kind of criticism is encouriged.
A lot of work went into this over many weekends across two months, so I would greatly apperciate some feedback.

I couldn't come up with anything smart, original or funny, so <=THIS=> is what you get.
ENJOY IT!!!

Re: Going Big
ofc, this thing would need some plating around it's limbs. However, this thin, long and skinny look also has quite an interesting vibe into it.
btw, did you have to take anything of your existing lot apart?

Re: Going Big
Nope. That's why it isn't plated. I havn' lt had the plates. Also I'm not sure it could suppiort more weight on its arms. The skeleton is made of three paralell technic girders and they still bend some fifteen degrees when weight is on them. Also I haven't pimped it out yet as much as I would have wanted to, sot currently it's rather rainbowy and a bit fuck ugly.

You can rotate those images ya know.
Go to them on your computer file directory
double click the image
you will see rotation arrows, click that until it looks right.
Done
There is absolutely no reason to have sideways images.

Unless you need a sideways perspective, looking at things a different way can help with creativity.Tzan wrote:You can rotate those images ya know.

Re: Going Big: Prometheus Heavy Battlewalker
This looks pretty sweet, sideways pictures excepted.
Re: Going Big: Prometheus Heavy Battlewalker
Updated design inclodes pimpage, improved hands and cannon.
Now with 100% more shoulder pylons!!!!
And the pylons of course wouldn't be authentic without a progressive knife!
Should it lose it's main weaponry, or come across a wandering angel it now has a fallback option:
The chassis also got some new greeble:
I plan no further changes to the exterior, so if you find it especially hideus speak your mind so I can ignore you faster.

The more I look at it, the more the shape of it reminds me of a frog.
No.
A BATTLETOAD!
In all seriousness though, this thing looks rad.

My suggestion would be to photograph it against a simpler background. Right now the carpet is acting as camouflage.

Part of me wants to kick it, in a good way. Kind of how people say babies are so cute they just want to eat them.
