I hearby propose a thread of mech art! In this thread we can display and critique mecha which we, the common (wo)man, have designed.

Post'em with or without a short description and we'll show the MAN our creative prowess!!!

P.S. keep the critiques tasteful and no bashing! This isn't a contest to see who's better!


I'll start with an oldie, for I have left my camera cable at home...

The WT 141 "Rounder" was an early concept at weaponizing a construction mecha. The Rounder was designed to utilize as many "off the shelf" components as possible, and incorporates many systems from venerable AFV's such as the T-72 and Leopard 1. These include FCS and Rolled homgenous steel armor.

Sorry for blurriness. Title edited for broader selections!

The Ground Command and Control Unit (GCCU) is designed for
orbital deployment.
It needs a very hard ground an is normally deployed into
cities, mountains and such like. From there it will control the units
it is responsible for.
After the mission is completed the unit can ascend back to orbit on its own,

THATSFREAKINSWEET! Seriously, I must now change my pants.

I love the detail, and the descriptions to back it all up, cool beans.

I just finished this mech after about a week of on and off attention.



The "Avenger" is the next step in a fully militarized construction mech. Incorporating the latest in next generation armored vehicle technology, the Avenger will reign supreme in future conflicts!

Time for another!

The harrier is a light defense robot, programmable for independant patrol and surveillance.

No offense, but a guy with a baseball bat coming up behind it could *so* totally bitchslap it...

yeah, I could see that. Such are the limitations of unmanned security drones.

Here we have a WT141 A, caught during a malfunction in the gyro stabilizers, causing the machine to "dance" and swagger like a drunk in a disco...

Anybody else gonna display some mechs? How about some tanks?

More mechs, I think you'll see a recurring theme in these designs (a not good one! hah!).



This is the Krauss-Maffei-Weggmann prototype entry into mecha arena combat. The Sturmgechutz was the product of too many espressos and a pencil one night in Germany!

the problems at least for me good tanks look rather boring.

Also you might want to link or tumbnail that dancing mech before the mods do it for you.

Linked! Hmm, lets see some fantastcic tanks, or ones that approach implausibility. Oh well, I was hoping to share some inspiration to do so. I guess I'm off to the drawing board...

I could try something when I have time.


a tank I made (rather quickly though).

Dont ask for tanks



Main battle tank of my scifi race Third Wave.
Actually it is a Anti-grav tank and the tracks are just for backup/stealth.



Tactical Ground Support Vehicle (TGSV) of Third Wave.
It is carrying ammunition for this unit:








Modular tank design. Inspired by FCS

Here's some avengers colored in photoshop.

Enjoy! I'm working on some more.

Well I have 'sort'uva' a Mech... BEHOLD BISHOTRON



Realism? BAH! Who needs Realism! This is Fantasy Anime Mech at it's finist baby!

Honda Tadakatsu class Power armor with Tiger Slayer anti-tank weapon. I do not vouche for quality.

The good old walking tank, a source of debate for generations, before treads finally won out!

I forgot the mech dragon!

"Synth" soldiers as they are known make up the bulk of Combine expeditionary forces, and although well armed and armored, were made easy prey to geurilla tactics employed by the resistance.





This is a little concept art I did for the combineassault mod.

The last one looks good
Very creative work.
But somehow it reminds me of Final Fantasy the movie

Nevertheless, it's a very nice drawing and
TheMuffinKing shows that he got some skills

The mech dragon was quite an effort, right?
How long did it take to finish it?

Thanks! Yeah it does look like that, but I was trying to combine the synths from the raising the bar book with othe mechanical combine tech.

No offense taken. I was trying to draw heavy gears but I gues you could draw parralells with an APU...


Thanks for the positive feedback!

The dragon was a pain in the arse! It took me about five days on and off to do the line work (I did it on a deployment.). I'll eventually give it the photoshop treatment.

Behold, the literal deus ex machina!
