Black Wolf - Dominance War II

[novoAlias]

Mechanical evolution, long known as a far more efficient process than mere organic evolution. Through dozens of earth-decades the natural silicate supercomputers buried deep in the asteriods have been seeking a solution. The purpose: efficiently wiping out specific members of the organic groups of un-neccessaries. The age long processes are nearing their completion. The great mining droids are spinning up their great isodiamond drills in preparation for production. The end of chaos is near. The ultimate solution is here.

My major weakness is pseudo-neccessary components. That is why this will probably one of the more thought through designs in these competitions. Here goes.


Ideas

Power Source
Every robot needs a source of power, It needs to be available in large quantities, be non-volatile, never run out and look awesome.

Fusion + Capacitor
Universal Background Radiation
Anti-matter Generator
Battery
Chemical


Weapons
A Shadow Warrior needs to be able to take out a target from several miles away, or go for the personal touch with poison or a simple blade. A robot will always choose the most logical option, but choice is nice for any race.

Highly Customisable Rail Gun
Blade (High tech, extendible, physical?)
Poison vials
Assorted concealed tools


Communication
What would be the point of completing a kill if the hive-mind doesn't know about it? From flashy to simple, here are some options.

Entangled photon communicator
Holo Banner
Multi Spectrum Transmitter (For communication with organics)


Senses
Multi Spectrum Analyser
Vibration Analyser
High Definition distance calculator
Communicator
Power Level Indicator
Process Completion Level


Armour and other protection
The additional weight of additional armour is a complex consideration. While the loss of one unit is insignificant, the loss of a Shadow Warrior means the waste of precious highly refined metals. The risk of giving the enemy a highly evolved design also demands particular priority.

Diamond-Fiber Composite Shell
Liquid Armour (over joints)
Active Extended Combat Armour
Context Energy Release


Movement
Both highly accurate and incredibly fast, the sophisticated design of a robots 'muscles' demands the most efficient solution.

Piston Function
Gyroscopic Stabilising
Generated Muscle Fiber


Enemy Weaknesses
Each enemy will have its own weakness, a common weakness may hold an interesting solution.

They are all organic!
Robots move REALLY fast


EDIT: Additional Details Based on Rules

Proficiencies
This Shadow Warrior has an emphasis on stealth, so its proficiencies are as follows.

Penetration
Assassination,
Sharp Shooting,
Hand to Hand Combat Specialist
Stealth
Spying
Deception (isnt that spying?)
Searching
Tactician (Ala that movie with the two snipers facing off. This would be the guy that won)
Weapon Specialist (If you have it, it can use it)


Race
Highly Evolved Robot. Ie: It is a robot but it moves like a highly evolved animal

Vehicle
A Pet/Steed is allowed, how does a small reconaissance bot sound? Ala Tau bot.

Wow, illustrator is kinda complicated. Might stick to photoshop from now on.

[shadowbreeze]

wow i like the way your thinking, keep it up

[novoAlias]

Simple sketch, proportions are little off. Basically here trying to get a design that can be effective on four legs, good for moving quickly under cover.

[novoAlias]

'nother sketch, similar design.

[novoAlias]

Basic shape finalised I think :evil:

Quick Reply
Sick ref, Blackwolf. Looks like a great starting point!

[plasma3d]

;) amazing

[Opul]

Ace, is this going to be more robot based or Cyborg based? Cause to me the texture of the thing looks like its almost going to be lizzard like, if that makes sense. Sooo i'm thinking it's more cyborgey? Or maybe even a bit of both :P

Anyways, good to see thoughts going through your head :)

[mim]

Awsome! you're fast man! ;)
Goodluck wolf! :evil:

[Kalango]

looking nice! keep it up!

[novoAlias]

Thanks all!
Opul:I like to see thoughts going through my head aswell ;P . About lizardness, it is going to perhaps look reptillian, and it will of-course have snake like speed. But when running I want a long loping stride more like a wolf or a big cat. Maybe I should look up some reptiles :D

So little is known about the stealth drones utilised by the Warrior Elite of 3D Total that records are few and far between, here was one document recovered from a recently decimated outpost of Polycount's that may or may not be an accurate representation.

[novoAlias]

High Speed Reconaissance Drone sighting, undecided as to whether its a little too high speed...

[gridlinked]

VI kinda looks too similar to a Tau Drone, but i like VII. Those fins on the back look cool, they could be some sort of heat venting equipment, or solar power energy gatherers, besides their aerodinamic stabilization role.

[novoAlias]

The idea of this weapon is that it can do anything, it can be anything from a sniper rifle to a close combat pistol to a rocket launcher. Although that last one may be tricky. The knife and ammo give an idea of what i'm thinking of. although I think I will go with a sniper rifle and probably a separate blade. Another idea is the sniper rifle can be attached vertically to the warriors back so it can be fired while it is moving if necessary.
