A メカ is waiting in sleep mode hanging up on a building's facade under a heavy rain.
メカ is a fighting mecha driven by an artificial intelligent software developped by the Japan Self-Defense Forces 自衛隊.
In desperate time, desperate mesures, Japanese governement has given huge amounts of money to a controversial and brilliant scientist. After one year of accelerated developpement they have released the first protoype on the battlefied. Neo Tokyo has not been fully evacuated, plenty of civilians are still living in the war zone.
メカ is a fully autonomous 6-legged walker tank, equiped with a huge fully rotating anti heavy armored laser gun, 8 grenade launchers, 2 machine guns on the front legs for close range combat. This is a very agile beast designed to fight on both horizontal and vertical zones. It is moving at an incredible speed, every leg of its body is made to kill, to the point where it is trying to avoid as much as possible to open fire.
This incredible mecha has been built by Cole Blaq, a very talented MOCer. I have contacted him with this project in mind and have sent him some inspirotional pictures to achieve something between Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid bestiary and Masamune Shirow's famous Ghost in the shell mecha.
I invite you to discover the building process detailed in Cole Blaq's last article ->

At first I had 3 main pictures in mind, this fourth one has been shot at the end because I had the opportunity and little time to do it. I made it very fast compared to the others, that is probably why it is my less favorite. Nevertheless I think it still have its place in the series.
Please let us know what you think of it in the comments !
