New stuff! (Most of which can be seen here)
First, here are my new Heavies. They're sort of a combination of what my old Berserkers were plus the armor like a Terrorkhan.
And here's the whole Heavy Division. There are 10 in total and I'm up to 8 GTCs now.
Taking a little bit of inspiration from Silent-sigfig's rendition of his ZMC Iconoclast, I modified my old Heavies into Elites. These guys are the best of the standard infantry and are equipped with better armor and rifles. Oftentimes the Elites are seen traveling with Zupponn himself as his personal bodyguard.
I've been a little disappointed that I've only ever made a single vehicle for the ZMC for a while now and had some treads lying around, so I put this guy together. Introducing the ZMC Whirling Death.
It's armed with 2 cannons, 2 missile racks, and spinning saws of GT death. The cockpit is also rotational.
And here's the backside. Nothing too special, but I did add a small ladder for some reason.
Other than those bigger changes, now both of the hardsuits are armed with shoulder cannons (the one hardsuit's GTC is now with a Heavy) and there are now 3 Heavy Weapons Specialists (up from 2).

I got sick of my old ZMC standard rifle and changed it slightly to both increase the amount of GT used in it and to shorten it so I can allow a couple more minifigs travel in the Bullet Bill Transport Vehicle.
I did not completely abandon the old rifle's design though and added a few extra parts to it for my new Heavy Infantry unit.
The GTC berserker now sports a sweet new facemask.
These changes were all made in my quest to diversify the ZMC's troops a little more. The army now contains 3 GTC berserkers, 4 Heavy Infantry, 8 Standard Infantry, 2 Heavy Weapons Specialists, 2 Hardsuits (one of which is sporting a new big shoulder gun), 1 Robot, 1 Bullet Bill Transport Vehicle (Not shown), and 1 Zupponn.

As you can see, not much has changed from before except for the addition of Green Transparent visors to replace the ugly Black Transparent ones.
Originally, the ZMC was just a bunch of minifigs in Aquaraiders/Aquasharks armor, but after a while, I felt dissatisfied with that and wanted more cohesion as a unit. So, I worked on changing the mercenaries, making a theme based off of mainly black and GT. Storywise, this was all funded by the ZMC being hired by the Immortals. Wanting to look more professional, Zupponn went out and spent some of the money from the contract to get new uniforms.
This is the ZMC as it stands today.
Nothing has changed with the ZMC transport vehicle, except the personnel operating it now sport the new ZMC look.
The same goes for the ZMC drop pod, but I'm thinking about changing the color scheme to better fit the rest of the group.
I might look to build more of these robots in the future. They are also unchanged from the previous iteration.
The ZMC hardsuits have exchanged their drills for GTCs. They also now sport visors.
The ZMC has gained a bit of technology from their business deal with the Immortals. The guy in the front on the left has a modified Immortal heavy weapon, while the rest have just basic ZMC rifles.
The merc on the front on the right sports a new experimental ZMC heavy weapon that tries to draw upon the energies of raw GT crystals for extra firepower. Again, the rest just carry standard rifles.
Zupponn has changed his look a little. He still carries the power mace, but he has swapped visors and now carries a GT shield.
If anyone has any questions, comments, or concerns, let me know. Cheers!

This is a transport vehicle for the Zupponn Mining Co.
I know this one's a bit blurry, but the robot I posted in the Zupponn Mining Co. thread can fold up and fits in the back of the transport.
The transport can hold up to 4 mercenaries.
Sadly, the hardsuits do not fit in the transport unless they are empty.
The transport has a twin cannon on the top that's manned by a gunner.
And the front can open up to expose the driver.
Here is the Zupponn Mining Co. drop pod.
The drop pod can open and fit one mercenary...
...who then is set to be launched where he is needed.
The drop pod can also be launched from land into space at opposing ships. Since the ZMC has no ships currently, its engineers are trying to come up with other space defenses.
Being very tiny, the pod can dodge a lot of radar systems.
The armor of the pod is durable enough to break through most ships' armor...
...and get the party started.
Since my last pictures were terrible, I felt I owed it to you guys to retake some of them.

Zupponn wrote:Hi, I've been lurking here for a few weeks and was inspired to dust off the old Legos again. I've come up with the Zupponn Mining Co., owned and run by Zupponn, a former mercenary-for-hire. Zupponn Mining Co. mines a deep space asteroid belt mainly for Green Transparent and whatever else they can sell. The company also has a group of mercenaries for security, although it is not unheard of for the group to take on the occasional odd job. On these occasions Zupponn himself will lead the mercs... blah blah blah. You probably don't want to read all of that. Here's the pictures(I apologize for the poor quality. I will try to get a better camera and better lighting next time):
Zupponn, the leader of the operations. He is armed with a power mace that can also shoot lasers.
Zupponn Mining Co. is currently experimenting in Hardsuit technology. This model has a drill on the right arm and a cutting laser on the left. Although created for mining, it is surprising how well equipment designed to cut through rock can cut through minifigs.
Originally thought up as precision cutting specialists, these robots quickly found a better use alongside the mercenaries.
And now we get to the mercenaries. The one on the left has a GTC and a laser rifle with rocket attachment. The one on the right has a beam saber and an SMG.
The guy on the left has a nova sword and a machine pistol. The guy on the right has a laser rifle and a katana.
It is odd that the least armored guy carries the rocket launcher(he also has a hatchet). The other dude has an OTC and a sawed-off shotgun.
Our final guy carries a Gatling gun and a katana.
And finally, we have our miners at work.

Just constructive criticism
