Brainbox Posted June 1, 2008 The second in my All-Star EF series, here's Gate Defender. While Uplink was an '06 small mech grafted onto an '07 small mech, GD is completely different. I decided to come up with an entirely new design. I wanted it to be small and thin, to give the impression of a nimble, swift mech. It was supposed to be smaller than Uplink, but it accidentally ended up a little bigger. Okay, so it doesn't have any controls, but then neither do most sets. The wings at the back fold swing down when not in use. I kept the things on the original hands for this model. I also kept the shoulder pads from the original: Finally, here's a comparison with ASEF Uplink: See, ever so slightly bigger. Gallery ASEF gallery Hope you like. It's Sentry up next, btw.

Asuka Posted June 1, 2008 An elegant design, smooth and cool, with a nice use of these clear hinge plates and a distinct kind of grenade launcher weapon (I guess...) and some good shoulder armoring. Sweet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Batbrick Posted June 2, 2008 Great stuff BB1! I love the nimble looking design, and the shoulder pads and weapons are great. It looks like a very specialised operation mech and I like that, the thicker hands are good too. Thanks for sharing, what's next? Batbrick Away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted June 2, 2008 This is a very sleek design. Reminds me of the mini-stealth hunter. Great! Look forward to the rest of your series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brainbox Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks guys. and a distinct kind of grenade launcher weapon (I guess...) Um... no idea actually. I just used what TLC used. But grenade launcher sounds sensible, so it'll do. Thanks for sharing, what's next? Sentry, then Fire Vulture. There'll be a thread sometime with a few small things in as well, but I'm not sure when that will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zero1312 Posted June 2, 2008 Sentry, then Fire Vulture. There'll be a thread sometime with a few small things in as well, but I'm not sure when that will be. Cool, can't wait to see your take on the sentry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brainbox Posted June 4, 2008 Cool, can't wait to see your take on the sentry. Thanks, I'm glad you're enjoying the project. It shouldn't be too long before it's up either, all the photography's done, so I've just got to wait for some time to upload and post them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
