AT-18a Saracen

The AT-18a Saracen is a fast, highly mobile platform. It can carry a wide variety of weapons systems, either handguns or shoulder-mounted modules, and can run over 40 mph on level ground. The sealed cockpit allows operation in any environment, including short periods in a vacuum.

 

This design has been around the block a few times. It started off when p_o_s_t_y built a hardsuit for Lex Luthor. Rixbrix rebuilt it in LDD, then redesigned it to the LX-01 "Lexi" exo-suit. Then he redesigned it again to a stealth variant. I redesigned it again, rebuilding as I went along, with a focus on slimming up the cockpit area (it's rather bulky on Rix's version).

 

I wanted to make the name follow the trend so far, since Lex Luthor and Lexi both come from the name Alexander, but I liked Saracen too much. Other options included Bucephalas, Wizard, or Rattlesnake.

 

And more renders are coming ;)
