I think they wanted it to look like a bird or a bee, kinda. Because I opted for more standard biped legs on my Zero, it's sort of a different effect. The V2 doesn't have the stubby "arm" cannons anymore, though. So we'll see what you make of it when I post it.

Why thank you! I totally get that, though the V1 was never intended to have arms. The triplicannons are just gun attachments. I was always basing the Zero off the design of the Zero fighter from Jupiter Ascending, which is a FAR MORE intricate armless attack vehicle. Observe this concept art: http://lookbook.jupiterascending.com/intl/uk/images/assets/Zero-07.jpg Can't get anywhere NEAR that but armlessness is part of the deal. The V1 had better "fused" legs than the V2 but I don't mind compromising on that.

So I couldn't quite stay away from this version of the Zero even though I'm fairly unhappy with certain flaws in its design. It's too big, too awkward, and breaks too easily to see the kind of MOCing use I wanted to do. That said, I took more pictures that fully showcased the Zero, which was too hard to do in an action scene. Enjoy! I have since redesigned and rebuilt it, so get excited because V2 is smaller, better, and sturdier! I owe Orange Leader for the idea. And his asteroids are WAY better than mine. :P Thanks narbilu-sama. The Zero is truly a formidable weapon, but if only it weren't so big and fragile... Thanks OL. You inspired a big chunk of this one. Thanks Mike! That's really kind, Robuko. I actually think a better view of the mech would be much... better. I'm gonna remedy that. Awesome, another fitting haiku. Thanks a lot Pombe! Thanks Goliath. These pirates may not be what they seem... Koro will find out. There was definitely something odd about them! Thanks guys! Well, in Koro's defense... KG sorta owns 90% of his body. I'm glad you like the mech. You're about to be happier.

Very cool idea. Has a neat industrial feel and I love your use of scifi heads with medieval helms. Been trying to do that a bit too!
-
Is that a.... companion cube in the boot? Hahahaha. Awesome either way. This is a great vehicle and a cool unusual base to go with it.
-
Very cool prefab shelter!
-
Neat vehicle. The writing accompanying it is a great effort too.
-
Hahaha a dowsing rod. That's awesome.

Sector 7 The Hamilton Belt - 3185 It was Koro's first time piloting his Zero in such tight conditions. The asteroids of the Belt flew past him, pinging his HUD with collision warnings. He manoeuvred through them, wishing repeatedly that Kawashita would get busy designing a single-pilot combat capable space-mech with better miniaturization. Some of the asteroids were the size of hail, and those were the dangerous ones. He was far from an ace pilot, and it was all he could do to keep the Zero intact as he closed in on the opportunist pirates that had taken up operations in the sector. He finally spotted a gun platform, its cleats lodged deep into the crust of a small asteroid. Most of the rocks in The Belt were the size of large boulders, and many of them had Awesomnium crystals visibly jutting from otherwise unremarkable balls of old rock and useless minerals. The pirates lacked the technology and know-how to extract the real wealth from those rocks, and waited to prey on mining expeditions or trade caravans just as pirates had done as far back as the nautical age. The gun platform spotted him and opened fire and, just like that, it was on. He blasted through dozens of asteroids, gun platforms, and highly-manoeuvrable spacewalker units. The Zero was more than a match for them, but Koro was troubled anyway. He noticed their discipline, the sophistication and uniformity of their equipment... something was wrong here. Very wrong. But he filed the information, and the feelings, away in some corner of his hardware. He focused on the mission, blasting the asteroids where the pirates had set up, dispersing them with judicious bursts of plasma from the Zero's triplicannons. He took on the aspect of an angry angel, delivering wrath to the darkest kind of space. Alternate Shots:

Such a cool design for the mobile lab. I love the shot with your character exploring in front of it. Really captures that "exploring a new world" feel.
-
Great work, great humor, and great creatures!
-
Very cool presentation. Love the way those asteroids look, and the Octo Mini is an extremely cool vehicle. For its size, it has a lot of really neat details like the lightsaber handle greebling behind the pilot seat.
-
I really like the Asian lander with flag.
-
Rock formations are very cool!
-
Love the asteroid design here. And great bike!
-
I really like the heavy-set "gorilla" look of this mech. My favorite part are the thruster "wings" on the shoulders.
-
Great build. I like the trans purple for Awesomnium too!
-
I see what you did there, haha!
-
That is just amazing. I love the look of it, I love that it's not a closed hull, and I love what you did with that lava landscape. Holy moley!
-
It's like GoH, Goliath. You can only have the one sigfig, sure, but you can create other characters! GoH is pretty lax compared to other role-building games, actually. I haven't used my sigfig over there since like my third build. I think the way the rules will work is that any upgrades you buy would be just for your sigfig, as leader of whatever group of companions make up your squad.
-
This is a very cool idea for a challenge! Thanks, Bob! Congratulations, by the way, on how well AG has taken off. I think it's one of the most exciting things happening in role-building right now!
-
Awesome, rough-looking crew!
-
Must be pretty heavy. Is it fairly sturdy too? Poseable?

Nice to see some more adventuring-type builds amid all the warfare! -
This is awesome. Those tankers are sleek, elegant, and aesthetically arresting just like Kawashita designs should be!
