C-1029 Urban Patrol Drone Originally uploaded by scōtt blānk I am all over this little tracked bot by Scott Blank. A neat little design. It makes me think about rules for different movement types for Mechaton (because I never saw a game I didn’t want to hack). Wheels like these could be something simple like [...]

Ocean Research Probe Originally uploaded by scōtt blānk Last Sub-Apoc post. This little thing is nifty.

Captain Morgan

Captain Morgan Originally uploaded by -Taylor- This is another Sub Apoc Pirate, this time much more “Piratical”. I love the chain and the flag.

Mini Rex Originally uploaded by Tekka Croe Look familiar? Why, it’s the final opposition of everyones favourite bandana wearing, gun toting sociopath, Solid Snake! Another Tekka Croe creation, this little Metal Gear Rex. Cheers Malcolm

Dwarf Spider Droid Originally uploaded by Tekka Croe Second off, this neat spider droid from Tekka Croe. It could easily fit in to Mechaton in various sizes, from something power armour sized, to a giant, city stomping behemoth. Cheers Malcolm
