Atomic Rui Seiken !!

[xwingyoda]

Guys and Gals,

Not to overcrowd the entry thread I present to you my Mech entry: Atomic Rui Seiken !!

A small note on the name: It had to have the term Atomic due to all its heavy weaponry but I wanted to have a more japanese name to it (the Exo sets are way too americanize :-P ). One of my favorite animation of all times is Saint Seiya and I wanted to give that fantastic animation a small hommage, hence the Rui Seiken (which is the BGM of Pegasus - launching Rui Seiken) ;-)

Okie, First I shall start with the MF: nothing too fancy at all but I had to do a sensei, so here it is

Now onto the Mech per se

Its the first Mech I've ever built and I am not a mech fan so don't be too harsh with my MOC :-D

As a general comment, I wanted a 2 legged mech that could transform into a ship+sub and really heavilly equiped with thermo nuclear fire power to take down those bloody robots base !! (4 nukes should do the trick :-P ).

Here are overall shots:

Here is the mech 2 distinctive parts (I fancy that feature hehe):

Now lets look at more detailed shots:

Legs Front & Back:

Ship/sub section Front, Back and Up:

Now a close-up of the engines & Cokpit:

Last pic: the mech without its Big 4 Nukes and 4 smaller nukes:

Hope you guys like this mech and I welcome you comments and criticisms ;-)

Sensei *yoda*

i like the use of the inverted windscreen, very original. i think it would have been better as the front since it reminds me of an airport control tower which fits in nicely with sensei's role being the playmaker/general instead of a front line trooper.

armaments are kinda spot on for me. since he is the quarterback or playmaker, his weapons should reflect that, ie missiles instead of machinegun...tactically taking out key role players or cover important flanks.

the con for me are the legs but it is something which TLG would have done as can be seen from uplink and gate defender. if you made it into chicken legs ala battletech/mechwarrior type it would be perfect since the mech is non-android from the lack of arms. also did you notice? meca one's mech is also chicken leg style. and it also has 2 big gigantic bombs. *sweet*

I really think the big window should be in front....or replaced with a solid door

Having a window in back, means he can't see out of it anyway, so all it does is act as a big vulnerable spot.
