Mudflap: Dominance War II Mounted Machine God

[Mudflap]

Looks like diplomacy has failed again and off to war we go.

I love the idea that we are the machine GODS. I envision that as the planet was torn apart, machines were made in the image of the weapons, tools, art, and biology that existed on the planet. When the machine consciousness screamed into being it had no knowlege of how all these forms occurred in previous incarnations but used the various peices to design a fighting force that could enstill sufficient terror and produce sufficient destruction to pave the way for the incoming hosts. Such is the story behind my mounted MACHINE GOD.

Three-headed sickle-bearing automoton mounted on a cross between a tank and baby, with butterfly wings of course.

Hope I finish this.

Here is my concept roughed out below:

I really like the three heads. Cool idea
Might be tough to fit all that mount stuff under the 6k roof, but good luck.

we can't make vehicles. You can make a sword that transforms into something, even a bed that transforms. But, we can't make vehicles.

Well, theres nothing wrong with doing tracks or something surely? Or even legs with tracks welded onto them that when he/she/bleh bends down it can utilize the tracks for faster movement or something?

[BiG ToE-3DT]

that is true, MUDFLAP, if you have tracks of some sort built into your robot, go for it. But if your robot jumps onto something that has tracks/wheels/hoovers etc, stop before you start.

I want to see you finish and not get disqualified.

[Mudflap]

I thought the rules said that mounts were OK. What else would a robot have for a mount but another robot? Since the mount is a machine, does that make the mount a vehicle? Are the robots prohibited from have wheels or tank treads?

[Mudflap]

ah some progress

Everything modelled, about 4000 tris:
