Tenchi Defender

[EXO-CHAMP]

This MOC I made by request.

It's a command Mecha with a heavy calliber grenade launcher, Titanium Electro blade and a seeker-anti-air missile.

And here's my Chief Engineer Roogan:

Nice!I like the SuperNova-ish arms.And the weapons own.But i personally would not attach the lightcord to the gun.What if the TD lets go of its gun?It would hang around the mech.And the fingers would be useless if the gun would just be stuck to the hand forever...

Anyway,great mech.Good job,EX-C.

[JoeMI6]

This is another great MOC. Looks a bit too much like Grand Titan for me. I think another colour scheme would work great. Apart from that, you should keep to this high standard.

[xenologer]

Neat!

I'm not sure why one barrel on the gun is longer than the other's though...

It's a revolver style magazine for grenades right?

Maybe what you could do is... have 6 equal size cylinders based on what's there now...

then cap them with this on top (put a long technic axel through the center)

and have the long barrel attach on top of that.

Then you'd be able to have the 6 magazine cylinders rotate separate from the barrel in front...

That'd be a cool feature...

[EXO-CHAMP]

Yes. It was requested that it had key features that resembled the GT. (cockpit f. ex)

The hands should be like the Silent Strike, and the colours should be red and black.

The longer barrel is the gun-barrel and the rest symbolizes a drum-mag. Like the ones used in action movies.

I'm not too happy about the feet design yet. I wanted it to look somewhat different from the standard types, but this design doesn't support the Mecha well, and breaks too easy.

[xenologer]

I like the feet,

but yeah it does look like those big slopes break off easily.

Maybe you could keep them, but hide some long narrow plates under them to support the real weight?

Or maybe some studless technic beams under each 'toe', those could be pretty solid and not change the appearance much other than making the toes look thicker

[EXO-CHAMP]

Actually the slopes aren't the problem. The feet are attached to the mod-foot-brick only by a bracket. That's the real trouble.

I'm still trying to solve this. Or maybe I shold go Bionicle like the 07 sets?

I think I'll brew some technic re-inforcement together as you suggest. Sounds like a good idea..

Wow, that's sweet. It looks great with black and red. The weaponry is cool, too. Does it fly?

[EXO-CHAMP]

No. It's a land based Mecha.

[EXO-CHAMP]

Ok. I see a lot of good points.

I've changed the following:

Removed the big missile. It looks a bit add-on anyway.

Added a pair of rockets instead of the missile.

Shortened the blade so it doesn't look like a spear.

Turned the shoulder design.

Added more bulk to the upper arms and legs.

Changed the foot design. It was too flimsy and broke to easy.

Here's the result:

Tenchi Defender MK II

Takeshi is testing the Mecha:

The top panels can swing down for more protection to the mecha's rear:

[dillthepill]

Looks a lot better now. Nice work. *y*

[Asuka]

You have really improved your first design. Especially with those foldable top panels....

I love your gun and sword design. Great color scheme.

[dillthepill]

It is better, but I think I liked the missile alot. Sort of think that made it look better.
