Plague Mech: Weta

[ Excerpt from the journal of Prof. J. Hector: ]

 

This wall is all that stands between The Swarm, and the extinction of the human race.

 

With every assault on our final bastion, our numbers dwindle – yet with every day, like cockroaches their numbers increase exponentially.

Morever, for reasons I cannot comprehend;

These colossal constructs of steel and destruction are growing Faster. Stronger. Smarter.

 

Because of me.

Yes, I am the reason these things run amock, intent on wiping us off the face of what’s left of this now ruined planet.

My research - my creation – has doomed me as planet Earth’s Destroyer.

But perhaps... could I also be its Saviour?

 

Yes, I am convinced fighting a plague with another is the only course of action available to us.

 

If we cannot stop them…

… then we must join them.

Entry to Round 3 of the 2018 Bio-Cup, sub-theme being 'Dystopian Future'.

 

When I think of the crappiest possible future, 'Attack On Titan' came to mind.

From there, I then wondered:

'How could that sort of scenario get any worse?'

(jokes)

 

As well as that gateway from the 'Tower of Toa' playset, this utilises the canister lids of Mantax, Atakus, plus the 2004 and 2005 Vladeks from the Knight's Kingdom line.

 

'Plague Mechs' are of course the brilliant brainchild of Jayfa, who happens to be one of my opponents.

 

Good luck to him and Grayson, as well as everyone else who made it this far!
