The A.12 "Roach" CU Walker
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2010 4:17 pm
The white ops' most common mech, the A.12 Roach is a small bipedal combat/utility walker. It's pretty flexible when it comes to the types of situations it can be put into effectively.
It's been designated the Roach due to its appearance, as well as its surprisingly high resistance for its size.
It is outfitted with two 50 cal machine guns at the front, to deal with infantry as well as some light vehicles.
It also has two self-propelled grenades fitted into the top of the legs, providing heavy fire when needed, such as for taking out heavier vehicles or targeting other dangerous targets.
A shot of the rear. It has a small rocket engine fitted on the rear to keep it from falling backwards, as it doesn't have the ability to right itself in that position. The Roach also has two utility arms for field repairs or other similar tasks. They are folded back when not in use so as to protect them from the hazards of combat.
A shot of the utility arms folded out for use. It has a welding torch for reattaching armour or weapons and a gripping arm for actually handling the parts. In desperate situations, these arms can be used as weapons, although this is usually discouraged as it reduces their effectiveness for their intended purposes.
C&C welcome, but keep in mind this was built out of Exo-Force sets and nothing else, so I was a little limited to parts usage. I'm pretty proud of it though, it's better than some of the stuff I've built with my whole collection at my disposal.
