Update time!

Image
After realizing that mere sabot rounds wouldn't be enough to destroy stronger tanks, a retrofitting kit came out to the tank battalions which included a widened barrel and a coolant jacket for the tank guns, and larger missile pods! The new barrels would allow the tanks to fire HE and incindiary rounds, as well as the trusty ol' sabot rounds. The larger missile pods allowed the tanks to have better survivability, since they could now unleash a storm of missiles in a pinch.

Image
After a few battles fought with smaller, quicker tanks, we realized the Brawler lacked a good amount of armor in the back, meaning the tank commanders of the Brawlers could be taken out easily. In the retrofitting kit was included an armor add-on that would considerably increase the armor in the back of the tank. While it makes the inside of the tank much hotter, the tank commanders love this add-on since lives are more important than comfort.

So, what do you guys think?

'Brawler' - that's a good name for a tank. It seriously looks like its name with those extra missile pods too.

Thanks! When I was building it I didn't want some weak little "light" tank, yet I didn't want something that would eat half of my lego collection, like an STD. Soon, the short, stocky, and deadly Brawler was born.

@Zupponn: Thanks

New unit time!

Image

After raiding a few primitive worlds, the RIN began finding trashed, old minimecha, probably left there by other empires after long battles. The RIN brought these old minimecha in, and began reverse-engineering them. After months of development, the MM-1 "Hunter" Minimecha was born! With an advanced processor, the Hunter is capable of processing information and making tactical decisions within seconds, an it is able to carry out it's plans with dual chainguns and MKII missile launchers.

Image

Image

When it needs fast transport, the Hunter is capable of folding up into a compact mode, where it can be attached to the back of a RIN Dragon helicopter.


Image
After realizing the Dragon helicopters had become less of a cargo machine, as they had been originally intended for, and become more of a war machine, the RIN needed another air-based hauler. The result: The HC-20 "Cutter" Dropship! Capable of traveling very fast, even with a full load of cargo, it can get just about anywhere on the battlefield!

Image
Armed with two front-mounted plasma cannons, (not pictured), as well as two defensive machine guns! The machine guns can fold away so the entirety of the deck can be used to carry troops/cargo, as well as become landing gear when the Cutter lands.

Image
The Cutter is capable of reaching high speeds with this MKIII Fusion Engine, which utilizes the same technology as the Nuclear Fusion Cannons found on Punisher mecha and Omega Doom, but as apposed to creating destructive power, the Fusion Engine creates large amounts of propulsion.


So, what do you guys think?

Actually, I was inspired by fredde's minimecha.

Well, I went to google images and looked up this "Glasgow" mecha, and I think that it's legs and my minimecha's legs are totally different.

Nice adds, liking especially the Cutters concept, I would just protect that MK.III a wee bit better. Also, nice job on the mech

Yea, the Cutter was designed to move fast, so in turn, it suffers in the "armor" department. I might put some light armor plating or something on the MKIII Fusion Engine.
