Dannylonglegs Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) On Farmolis's Famous Octan Olympic Arena, where all the best and brightest athletes have come to train! Including none other than Dr. Danielle Long, who was surprised to wake up to a holo-mail from CEO Pombe, requesting her presence at the games... on penalty of forfeiture of shares... Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr Engineer: "Well, madam, as you can see, the core and engine are fully functional. She's operating at 95% Target output." Dr. Long: "Hmm... That's unacceptable. Tighten that nozzle, adjust the location of that fuel pump, and reconfigure the wiring. Bring it up to 100% Target Output, or I will find someone who can." Engineer: "If only... Triple H were here..." Dr. Long: "He is not here. Do what must be done." Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr Dr. Long: "Why are these not assembled? Engineer: "Well, you see, there's a real funny story about that..." Dr. Long: "I did not come here to listen to funny stories. I came here to assess your craftsmanship, and right now, I'd say it's certainly lacking." Engineer: "I'm waiting on Pneumatics to supply me with the gas repressurizer! I can't do final assembly until they get me that pressurizer!" Dr. Long: "Stop looking for excuses. I'll deal with Pneumatics... And as for you... pack your things. I'll add finding a suitable replacement to my agenda. That shouldn't be too hard, I don't think." Engineer: "No, please! I've got a wife and three kids!" Dr. Long: "No you don't. In your file it says you're "Single and ready to mingle." Engineer: "Well, I want a wife and three kids eventually..." Dr. Long: "Get out." Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr Dr. Long: "And what seems to be the holdup here!" Software Specialist: "I'm giving her all she's got, Doctor, but I can't access tha damn file to download!" Dr. Long: "Honestly, the incompetence I have to put up with on a daily basis. Clappy, access file Zoology_AI_Bullfrog.exe. This is Doctor Long, code blue entry, pass 98765. "You got it, boss!" Dr. Long: "Finally, someone who follows my orders." Later...... Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr "Finally, I have my competition entry assembled. When I designed these schematics, I modeled her after the robots I use to collect samples underwater... and then I gave her legs because that was an entry requirement. Honestly I just want to get this over with so that I can continue doing science, but perhaps I can bring glory to the great Octan Corporation by performing above average in this contest. After all, I am a perfectionist. No one will stand my way when I set my mind to something. Now, Let's get this baby started. Lil' Longlegs, please initiate Start Sequence." Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr "Perfect." Note: This was hard to photograph in a way that demonstrated that the mech falls 100% within the confines of the square. If you feel I have inadequately demonstrated that it conforms to the Rules, I'll construct a box. I'd like to know, though, as soon as possible, so that I can use the parts of the mech for future builds. I appreciate your adjudication! Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr Octan Olympics! by Danny-Longlegs, on Flickr About the Mech: In professional Mech Wrestling contests, Mechs of this nature (long legs, hunched torso) are frowned upon, but not outruled. Typically they are seen used by "Heel" Performers, as their use is considered... underhanded. The long legs are seen as an unfair advantage, since they add to the balance and leverage of the robot when wrestling... but as they say, the higher they stand, the harder they fall... Dr. Long knows none of this, though, as she only read the exact rules, and has never actually watched or participated in a mech contest. She didn't think to overview any of the ... unspoken rules... after all. Rules are made to be spoken. That said, Dr. Long wouldn't particularly care if she found out. If it's in the rules, it's legal, and if it gives her an advantage, well... too bad.

av_bossk Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 (edited) Wahou, very nice entry ! Lucky for you, snowspeeder cables are not allowed ! Edited August 6, 2016 by av_bossk Quote
Professor Thaum Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 Very nice... seems to be... hem... vintage but I like it Thaum : come on Lil Longlegs, here's seed for you Lil longlegs : cluck cluck cluck This is Doctor Long, code blue entry, pass 98765. pleased to help you Quote
EpsilonEta Posted August 7, 2016 Posted August 7, 2016 I don't know if it have the best body form for wresteling (we'll see soon enough) but at least it look really nice. Good luck in the contest!

I do trust Dr. Long to follow the rules and it look to be the right size so you can go ahead and smash it now. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 8, 2016 Author Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) Wahou, very nice entry ! Lucky for you, snowspeeder cables are not allowed ! Lucky indeed! While I didn't consciously model this off of the ATSTs, I guess it resembles an imperial walker more than a little. And hey, if your Mech can trip her up, that's your prerogative! Thanks! Very nice... seems to be... hem... vintage but I like it Thaum : come on Lil Longlegs, here's seed for you Lil longlegs : cluck cluck cluck pleased to help you Lol, yeah, it does have a bit of a chicken vibe to it! Thanks for the complement! And yes, that was a reference to your build! My title does not lie. I am a history expert. I remember everything.. everything... I don't know if it have the best body form for wresteling (we'll see soon enough) but at least it look really nice. Good luck in the contest! Dr. Long doesn't know much about wrestling... and neither do I.... But I imagine it'll be very good at souplexing, and not being lifted or moved by anything else. But who knows. Certainly not I. I do trust Dr. Long to follow the rules and it look to be the right size so you can go ahead and smash it now. It's a good thing that Dr. Long's reputation precedes her! I decided to leave it around until my brother builds his so we can get a fighting shot!... if he builds one. So it'll be around for a week if you change your mind. ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited August 8, 2016 by Dannylonglegs Quote
Mr Greeble Posted August 10, 2016 Posted August 10, 2016 I like all the big round parts on there. Those legs look incredibly powerful. Kickboxing! Quote
Mesabi Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Great build. Is it going to see additional use against the Oni Ren? Quote

If worst comes to worst, It can use unexpected tactics! Great build. Is it going to see additional use against the Oni Ren? That depends on how big your pocket book is.
