Description Another upgrade to the "Marauder" line of mechs. This one is the third in the line of the highly mobile, space-based type. This model has been stripped of some of the weapons it originally carried: now it is armed with a pair of plasma beam cannons and beam sabers mounted in the palm of the hand and a beam shield mounted on each lower arm.

This all started out with the model having a huge Link-hat-styled head and it eventually became a feathery model designed for extremely high speed. It follows the logic, "Graceful, but deadly; like a butterfly with a gatling gun."

Hmm... Now... is this supposed to be a space-based mech? because I don't see that arm type working at all on the ground.

Otherwise... much better than any Mech I try to draw. I just can't draw mecha...

Yes, this is supposed to be a space mech. The arms use engines which utilize gravity to move at high speeds, hence, all the mechs in the "Marauder" line are space mechs, with the exception of the Marauder Ground Type.

Yes... which still has that funky arm.

Looking towards Gundam Seed, the only unit that has anything similar are gundams with the Dragoon system, mentally controlled, wire-guided gun pods. Which are only used in space.

Even utilizing gravity, those arms would have to consume massive amounts of fuel to stay up.

First of all, I don't particularly care about similarities and differences with other series.

Second, and, more importantly, it must be noted that it is a science fiction piece. However, by the time humanity would have created a large mech that fires beam weapons and has mentally-controlled wire arms it can be assumed that we would have mastered nuclear fusion. In truth, that is the only way any of these mechs would function anyway.

First off, In can't get the mecha look down right.

Maybe I could draw the mecha I create with LEGO...

Or just post pictures of the lego Mecha that I make. oo

That would work.

Thanks, for both the comment and the suggestion on the head that through strange, inverted means reached me to this.

Is the head finally long enough for you?

Yes, the head is long enough.
