Armoured Core Construction

Post by **Natalya** » Thu Apr 23, 2009 11:42 am

The AC can fight in space all all right, that's just not what it was meant for. It isn't designed to go up against enemy fighters and cruisers like the Longinus is meant for. But uhh stepping on soldiers makes perfect sense IMO. All that's needed is for a flamethrower crew to come and burn the guts off its feet after the battle.

Also, I don't have pics since I'm at university, but I got some more of the armour plating done around the waist area. Now it's really starting to look like a Japanese killer mecha. It still needs a backpack and shoulder armour though. I've been slow to do the shoulders because for them I will need to come up with a system for attaching weapons to them.

RoC77, what colour will yours be? Also, although the mecha is poseable, it is not very playable since it's so heavy and all the joints are worm screws so they take a while to turn.

@ J+B:
The cockpit only holds one. It'd be hard to add room for more. The core was empty when I posted it when it was just made, but now it's full of gears.

I'm gonna go for my usual blay & dark blay, but it will have black accents. All the weapons are going to be either black or dark blay. Yeah, the screw gears do take time, and I've only built the arms, I don't know how bad the larger joints are at moving yet. But, at the very least it's an awsome model to keep.

What happened to that other mecha you started?

On hold, but I don't think I'm going to scrap what I have done already. (I really like how the legs turned out) After the AC is completed I'm gonna continue with I have left, it's most likely going to be a lighter mech than I originally wanted. I made some weapon systems that I want to use, but it's not going to work with the AC, but I do want to see it in use...
