Diceros Bolide, Smash

Sentient Combat Automaton specializing in close quarters brawling. Diceros Bolide is the most aggressive and savage member of the Vanguard. It uses the seismic resonators on arms and legs to cause small earthquakes, staggering targets. It's morning star fists can read and return the resonant frequency of anything they contact, enabling Bolide to rend even the toughest armor. Bolide is also equipped with a small jump jet on its back to compensate for its less agile frame. To calm it's aggressive nature, Bolide is often paired with calmer automatons such as Omen.

 

Build notes: Got another one of these guys. Believe it or not, this guy is nothing like the original concept that I was planning on using. He was originally going to be a ninja, then a sniper (a concept that became Omen). I came up with the idea of the resonator fists, and here we are. The resonator fist concept is something I've been wanting to do since 2016, back when I was making MRL mechs.

 

The actual build of this guy is just a taller variation of the frame I used on Salvo and Phantasm, though obviously the lower sections of the limbs are pretty different.

 

Like the other members of Vanguard, Diceros Bolide is named after an animal genus (a rhino).
