ICON Class Command Mech

The last of five Dawn Forge builds from the “Zero Hour on Highway 44” collaborative project. FINALLY!

A command mech specifically designed for running the show from the thick of battle. It’s upright stance, made possible by a neural link to the pilot’s own internal balance system, gives it an unmatched view of the battlefield, and more often than not, a tactically superior “high ground” firing position.

Full gallery at MOCpages or brickshelf (when modded).

    Looks great! Neurally controlled, eh? I bet that's a bitch to get used to.

    My freaking favorite. Those weapons are boss. Nice job.

    Did you steal the neural link idea from BattleTech? And awesome work, by the way.

    Very nice!
    I smell a little of MGS4 "Gecko" on this, but I like it!

    Down Fanboys! Down! The mech is not that great. In fact half of it is held together with spackle and whatnot, and it walks on its tippy-tippy toes. Who would ever work with such a hack!

  22. Marc ' (38 months ago | reply)

    Oh Keith; not a fan of bipedals?

  23. J5N (38 months ago | reply)

    Delightful. All the little details really bring this together.

  24. Thomas LMC (38 months ago | reply)

  25. Potatofish (38 months ago | reply)

    Oh. My. Gosh.

  26. нawк (38 months ago | reply)

    Anakin! I have the higher ground! It gives me a tactically superior firing position!
