Description
The Landslide was originally designed to be faster and lighter than the previous Mechanized Battle ArmorsIts primary design was as a advanced recon vehicle but due to the limitation of needed parts and abundance of others the landslide ended up as more of a mix of heavy armor and speed. although not as mobile as intended it still proved useful, having more armor than either the Annihilator or the Avalanche but also much faster than the Devastator . foregoing any large arm mounted guns SC-77 saved enough weight to use some higher power servos, which didn't have enough torque to run
the heavier LDM's giving it a much higher running speed
Mass: 70 Tons
Height: 40 Feet
Speed: 50 Mph
Armament:
The Landslide is equipped with dual Longbow missile launchers which have an estimated 45Km+ range, and a long-range prototype hardlight cannon. it also has to machine gun batteries on the lower torso and as well as a large repeater gun on the upper right.
extensive view of the cockpit system
The Landslide is equipped with stealth coated materials making it invisible to most tracking systems, also in what some would consider irony the mech was painted lime green due to the fact that the aliens don't see color the same way as perceived by synthetics. SC-77 determined lime green was the farthest out of their color spectrum he could reproduce with the options at hand.
The name Landside came from a testing run for the leg servos. While testing the speed over unstable terrain a sudden stop caused about 100 tons of concrete, metal sheeting and rebar to slide down the street. Amazingly the pilot managed to keep the mech undamaged by "surfing" the urban avalanche to safety. This lead
to SC-77 naming it "Landslide" although many of the pilots have come to call it the "Green Gremlin" for unknown reasons.
NOTES:
originally I was going to remove the power miner stickers from all the parts but then decided it might add something to the design and left most of them on
updated the missile pods with larger cones, which represents there long-range capability
realized there are approximately 0 antennas on this thing....
sigh... welp he's gonna have a score of'em next time!

wait. does this go along with your other two defense robot MOCs? it seems to be slightly smaller, but still... has the duo become a trio?!

yup! though I already had 3 with the annihilator so this make 4!!!!
the LDM folder has all 4 and I should be posting a group shot soon!!
its actually about the same height as the devastator, not including the heli blades

I want to hug it so badly...
Also, not being rude but this is a way different from your usual techniques, so smooth, and so well placed!
Definitely my favourite Mech of the series for now!

thanks mate!!!!
I'm glad you noticed!
I did base this one mostly from system parts instead of technic so the style came out a lot different!!!
cool! the dev still seems to be the most popular for now with all the guns and stuff!!!

Holy Shit DP this is awesome. That's one hell of a chicken walker dude. And ironic indeed. I read that and thought "this thing is stealthy? Are they on a lime green planet? WTH?"
Looking at the other photo of how the cockpit works, that's an ingenious design DP. Its one of those things where I kinda kick myself for not doing/thinking of it myself. But then again I don't work with Minifigs. *should get a T shirt that says that*

thanks a ton man!!!
It probably has to do with with the sun or way their eyes developed!
I wanted to include that design in the avalanche's 2.0 model but it didn't work with the old exo-suits and I hadn't really considered designing them for minifigs specifically at the time
I want a t-shirt that says "I make my own Lightsaber sounds"

You're welcome.
I think when it comes time to rebuild Mechus, I'll have to come back to your MOCs and take notes on the cockpit designs and maybe a few of the launchers to. that'd be cool.

Well I wouldn't really say you need to contribute. But i'll definitely be looking to your MOCs for some inspiration when the time comes.
Tell me about it. Your mechs are pretty much walking missile silos. You should make a joke one where it's just missiles on top of missiles on top of more missiles. Just a ridiculous amount of missiles and guns and shit.

Well that's what I meant,
I'm on the verge of literally making a walking missile pod with a seat on the side

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Deadpool7100 [2014-08-06 11:56:37 +0000 UTC]
Yeah but it should be like missiles on top of missles and a really really big gun just kinda stick out at some odd spot. It'd be an explosion with legs.

Nah man big enough legs, you just can't see them cause they to are covered in missiles.

should the main big gun thing be a giant cannon or a bundled cluster**** of smaller guns?

bundled cluster. This thing should look cluttered and redundant as possible. Just guns and missliles on top of more guns and missiles with a few extra guns and missiles added for good measure.

well its more like a bundle cluster with one giant cannon in the middle now..
