MGP-5

Post by **Massam** » Mon Jan 19, 2009 11:51 pm

The MGP-5 is a mobile gun platform. Although it has legs, it should not be confused with a standard mecha. Its purpose is to provide mobile fire support for infantry squads. Due to its large feet, it is very stable, but can not move faster than a normal minifig. Designed to be cheap support, it also has low structure level, and minimal cockpit armor.

The left gun is a laser rifle, while the right is a recharging plasma cannon (launcher).

Pics were to large for the forum, sorry.

I liked Robo Force!

Heh, I picked up the robo-raptor for 5 bucks. The pilot makes a pretty cool cyborg guy.
@Silvadream, thanks!

Very acceptable.

Dumb question, but what is acceptable? The price or the walker?

Post by **pesgores** » Tue Jan 20, 2009 3:12 pm

It's not good, but almost, so it's ranked "very acceptable".

Well, thank you. I should note that it was built in about 10 minutes. Half of which I was just staring at my box of briks.

That was an awesome set. $5 is a steal.

I also got the robo-raider for the same price, not quite as cool, but still a steal. Garage sales are awesome.

The feet look too big. Otherwise, it looks like it could do some damage.

My camera wasn't cooperating, so I had to take a bad angle, it looks better in person. And remember, they're supposed to be big!

Yeah, was too impatient to choose something smaller.

pretty cool looks like it would be something to be feared if there were a whole bunch of them, imagine like 10 of them charging at you. scary

I only have enough parts for one, maybe another rainbow one. But that would be awesome!
