Phase: Alpha Sketch

Medium: Blue, Black, and Gray Inks

Chronostamp: September 2014

Designer Notes:
This multi legged main battle tank was something that I sketched at KumoriCon 2014 in the art room surrounded by other artists drawing and conversing =^^= I've been intending to integrate small arms defense systems into the spider tank concept and finally got it done. These are heavy barreled 7.62mm rotary guns with under slung drum mags. These weapon systems are purely for prototype testing and in reality would not be a very effective part of the combat system because of their exposure and vulnerability to IED and anti tank telemetry mines (drone mines capable of attacking specific areas of armor such as tracks, defense systems, etc).
Something else I forgot to integrate were the active defense systems. The next sketch will include ADS and upgraded small arms defense systems (forearm hardpoints) with better armor, agility, and modular capabilities.
This prototype model had additional modular armor attached to the lower legs (protecting the lower actuator drive) and foot tracks. One of the elements that I need to work on is the leg armor design =^^=
