soo i've been thinking about how the more "traditional looking" mechs would look like without ruining the alienees that comes from leaning to being vehicles in the game and i kinda came up with this.
two forearms come from the elbow, one is to hold onto the weapons (even improvised ones) and the bottom one is to being able to continue to interact and manipulate their environment.there is no way in hell this would be implemented in the game aside from a lore text. the head wouldn't be an actual head but a sentry (two weapons put on each side of a camera system). (i didn't add the legs since they are so perfect, literally my favorite tetrapod designs ever)
i can continue to detail this design up if you'd be interested. and keep up the good work man!!
Very cool! I like that you put the crew compartment all the way in the rear. Admittedly, I haven't given too much thought as to what a traditional bipedal mecha would look like in the universe, but something smaller in scale intended for light infantry support would probably make the most sense, seeing as most legged and wheeled vehicles would be outpacing them both in firepower and movement speed.

Cheers! Feel free to.
i am really glad you liked it and the praise means a lot to me, as for the purpose of bipedal mechs i'd have a differing idea (though, this design was more of a "mod" on the crawler val uses)
flankers, the main point of the biped mechs would be 3 dimensional combat like a sort of bridge between a tank and a helicopter. the point of the legs in that sort of a design would be not to facilitate walking but to survive the landing by breaking the fall (think of them as more built like ostrich or more generally bird legs). i've been toying around that idea for a long time and i thought about those designs for a long time. i can send you the latest one i am working on trough some sort of a dm, i don't particularly feel comfortable sharing that one to the open.
thank you for your encouragement!, i'll work on this one and post more about the arms :D.
