[Challenge 3][Cat B][M-A06] More Action

[EpsilonEta]

Location: A06

This is a remake of my build Finaly some action with Raven working for M.A.N.T.I.S.

In this alternate timeline Raven's daughter was born earlier and was now old enough to come with her mother to Andromeda as well as have a say at what company they should work for.

I couldn't help to include some other of my builds, like the introduction from Arrival and part of the story from More Babysitting but that should not be judged. (I just love this challenge.)

Arrival

One of the massive colony ships arrives at C03 - Torresta.

On board is a military operative only known as “Raven” and her daughter, “Chaos”. They have been hired to make sure M.A.N.T.I.S. dominate Andromeda.

Rivaling companies fear that an agent with her reputation will perform espionage and sabotage but M.A.N.T.I.S. ensure they have even more creative use for an agent with her talent.

Babysitting

The planet Guinevere, a few weeks after their arrival in Andromeda.

The battle for gold against Kawashita have settled down and Raven is instead tasked with guarding an exploration team from any remaining Kawashita troopers or dangerous wildlife.

Mom. This mission suck. We should be out hunting for remaining Kawa scum.

Don’t disrespect your opponents.

What? We can kill them but not trash talk them?

Exactly. They aren't monsters or idiots, only on another side. Most of them are only following orders, just like us.

Sorry Mom. But I still don’t see why our potential should be wasted guarding explorers.

Because we were ordered to. When you are CEO you can decide who to send where.

Yeah, like if that would happen. Besides if I was CEO, I couldn’t fight at all, just going on meetings and parties, bleh.

Then stop your whining and be happy you are a special force agent and not a pilot.

Well, I guess… Hey! What if YOU got CEO! Then you could send me on all the cool missions.

After some long hours of watching explorers collect plants, roots and bugs they come across a strange flower…

Well, you all know what happens next, right?

Finaly some action, or...

More Action

Yeah, touching that "flower" wasn't such a good idea but at least the mission stopped being so boring.

Eat MANTIS™ Death Ray Blaster© you ugly shit!!

After a intense battle they kill the creature and load some bio samples on the transport.

It doesn't take long until...

Mom! Here is another one! I think Sal need more material to study. Let's take this too, please.

Wait! I'm in charge of the security here and I can't risk an accident.

Drive the car so we have the sun in our backs, then deploy the MANTIS canon.

Yes, Mom!

Now we are ready to engage it.

I love you Mom.

I love this challenge.

The reason (one of them at least) why I became a special force agent was to have a reason to build for other companies too. It also made me able to use Ravens daughter who is a lot happier in MANTIS than in Octan.

Unlike some other entries where loyalties are “magical” switched, my cat B and Pombe's cat A are the same Raven, only different circumstances (i.e. time lines). The original version of Raven and her daughter was for a Swedish game and I was in the middle of translating it when I was made CEO and got kind of busy.

Oh, it's getting late. Good thing I sat up my photo lights for the challenge. Now I can take photos the whole day (we don't have many hours of daylight in Sweden this time of year)

Here are a few more pictures:

I thought I made the base so large but their was still tight to fit everything this time too.

And I don't really like the legs on the scorpion. They look pretty good IRL but on the pictures they just look too long and thin. No time to fix now (and it's MANTIS that don't get as good a score anyway)

The empty base with frame.

A comparison of the transport vehicles. (Yeah, I haven't had time to take apart the original)

MANTIS canon deployed.

It's not only named MANTIS, it actually look like a mantis (at least I think so)

I initially meant to have a gun turret on part of the back section but that didn't look to good so I thought, “could I possibly integrate the weapon with the front section” (which I hadn't made yet)

So now two of my challenge builds have hidden weapons.

And finally, a comparison of the scorpions.

The new one have the large “flower”. I thought about using that in the start but the other is more recognizable and now we can imagine what the even larger one look like

That was that. Thank you judges / game masters for a wonderful and interesting challenge. Now I have a lot of parts to get off the floor, take apart and sort. Are there any more double weeks soon

Oh, I love this challenge (have I said that already)

Anyway, I think I will use M.A.N.T.I.S. Raven in my banner for a day or so now

And now my evil MANTIS period is over and I share the alternative time lines equally

(here is a reference picture for when I change back)

First off I like your new banner. The bigger and better scorpion is awesome! Raven is an over protective mom. Is this the first time Raven's daughter has been in a build besides Pombe's build? I think I remember seeing Ravens family on a screen. The truck is great.

Thanks, but an overprotective mom wouldn't let her daughter on a battlefield or fight space monsters She's just careful

Ravens daughter was first seen in Raven's day off (but she's a bit younger in the main time line) and here name (Louise) was first used in Pombe's catA (he got it from me so it's official)

That Scorpion

[Orange Leader]

Very cool builds, I think you have improved a lot since you started AG MOCs. The scorpion is badass as hell!
