kbcakir Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 It looks awesome, after this moc I'm in love with the new green tone. Great military creation, I would prefer to see 5 of them together. Quote
DraikNova Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 Love the colors. Seems to have a lot of sharp angles as well, which make it look awesome. Quote
Jackal76 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 kbcakir, I would love to have a star of these little beasties. Definitely would be a scout group I wouldn't want to face. Gerkenz, I picked those colors precisely for that reason. Drakinova, I tried to give it an aggressive look. Quote
TenorPenny Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Great use of a rare colour scheme..! Terrific work. Quote
Only Sinner Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I love this mech, How did you come up with the stats for it? It looks very intimidating anyway. Quote
Jackal76 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks for the praise, Tenor Penny. Thanks, Rook! Only sinner, I actually run Battletech with the mechs I build. I use Heavy Metal Pro to create the record sheets you use to play the game. The stats you see are an abbreviated version of the technical readout that HMP can generate. I'm glad you liked the design ! Quote
Devorath Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Any connection? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takah%C4%93 Quote
Jackal76 Posted March 23, 2013 Author Posted March 23, 2013 Yes, there is Devorath. The problem with working in the Battletech universe, is that there are so many canon mechs and vehicles that you have to get creative with naming. If I draw a blank on a name , then I head to wikipedia After I built this design, it made me think of any number of flightless birds. I found the Takahē , looked at the picture of the bird. I decided it was a good fit. I hope you liked the design. You really didn't say whether or not you did. Quote
