"You're coming in clear, but aren't you supposed to be testing the new Executive Class Walker that the engineering division so humorously dubbed "The Pantsuit"?" "I'm multitasking. It's about Operation Silent Silver." "Hmm. What of it? The operation was going flawlessly until recently. Its failure has not been well received by Corporate." "Yeah, I can imagine. But I'm sure we'll get to the bottom of this... guess who just gave me a call?" "Who?" "The Jade Sun's escort, my mentor, Vyken Tyros." "I have him listed as MIA" "I just received a message from him. He claims that he was shot down by an unknown MANTIS agent. A woman with red hair. Her and another more well-known operative by the name of Gnarl Graves, who took him down in a fight afterwards." "Good. We'll have him debriefed to find out what went wrong this time. Operations like his are a crucial aspect of our strategy in the Quarrel. We have much to learn from this if we intend to maintain our presence there. Have you anything else to report?" "He needs a transport." Only the mech is new this week. Didn't get a chance to build so I pulled this one out of my build-reserves. Originally this was part of my Mech contest entry but I remodelled it once I realized it shouldn't be a mecha suit. Might be worth noting, while the mech's name may seem relevant to current news items, I've actually been planning on using that name long before this election cycle. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited October 24, 2016 by Dannylonglegs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mediumsnowman Posted October 24, 2016 The pantsuit... a classic. Next you'll be building a mech called "Crazy hair" I considered doing a build of Jebediah erecting a wall on a desert planet to keep out real aliens... but thought that one might be in poor taste. In all seriousness, I really like the rollcage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucByard Posted October 28, 2016 Interesting use of door pieces here. The cage front was well executed and looks great too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Sal Posted October 29, 2016 Nice choice swapping out the traditional Octan red for pink! I think I'd like to see an official Friends Octan set that did the same thing, just for the outrage it would probably cause Great use of the doors on the back and feet too!
