MFZ:RA "Mercury's Heralds"
Another Mobile Frame Zero frame company commission for a friend. Six Twanks, with slight modified legs, and three stations.
The biggest requirement was for a very modular company, something easily modifiable, so I made sure there were plenty of hardpoints (3 top and side studs, and 3 top handles). The armor panel can attach to the front or sides, the spot and SSRs to the handles (the SSRs are configurable with 1x2 and 2x2 L bricks for multi SSRs on one clip), the directs top or sides, the arty and H2H systems are a little more limited in how they attach but still leave plenty of other hardpoints. The jumpjets for movement have an exclusive attachment point on the rear legs.
Systems count:
4x hand to hand (flamethrower)
8x direct (gun turret)
4x artillery (mortars)
6x spot (sensor/comm's antena)
6x move (jumpjets)
6x defense (armor panel)
For stations, the request was "a transmat, a generator, and an alien artifact".
Orange is a surprisingly pricy color. The whole project is 879 pcs which ran ~$120US (incl shipping) over 7 bricklink orders.
Initial back story idea:
"After all, it's the Mercury's Heralds mission to retrieve all artifacts left behind by the alien race that once inhabited Mercury... They know that by researching these artifacts, they'll be able to re-establish communication with their homeworld, and through their domination here, will have established their worthiness."
