As the Arcturan government has dealt with several violent uprisings in recent years, there has been a need for weapons and armor that minimize military casualties. So, the Arcturan military and the Provincial Police Forces have commissioned Londinium Defense Industries to design the first-ever Arcturan mechanized armor suit- the MA1 "Orcus" Personal Powered Armor. The MA1 is expected to enter service in early 2064.

Image
I lied it's just a drawing I did.

Height- 4.5 meters at shoulder
Weight- 530 kg
Power source- Londinium N600 petroleum engine
Range- Up to 500 km before refueling
Armament- Standard-issue MA1 models come with (1) 12.7x51mm heavy machine gun; (1) 40mm grenade launcher (equipped with frag, smoke, and/or tear gas grenades), (1) 55mm SAM launcher, (3) defensive countermeasures
Armor- Armor is made up of steel sheets layered with various ceramics and polymers (LDI and the Arcturan military have neglected to share further information). The interior of the cockpit is further protected by thick foam padding, and joints are protected by steel plates.
Other- Despite not officially entering service for another five years, soe have reported seeing MA1 units putting down insurgencies in the Asia Borealis province. The provincial government declined to speak on the matter.

As my country focuses most of its budget on defensive technology, we have highly developed mech and tank squadrons.
Our main battle HDM s is called the Orca.

Sorry, no pictures. This is still is still millitary technology.

Range: about 15 miles at maximum

Height: about 15 feet tall

Weight: 300 tons, more or less, when empty...

Crew: three. Gunner, commander, and driver, arranged in a tank like space.

Armaments: Dual 150mm cannons mounted on each side of a turret on the top. A 20mm Anti aircraft gun on swivel mount for commander's use. 4x anti tank missiles. And a heavy coaxial 50cal machine gun mounted in the front.

Engine: Karma Heavy Industries "Tesla" heavy fission battery with 12 hours when fully charged.

Armor: 53cm thick Tansite steel armor, with extra reactive plate.

Focused on bombarding the enemy into submission, rioter and soldier alike. It armor can withstand heavy blows, but is extremely heavy. Top speed is 51 mph. Has four hydraulic legs on a tank chassis, with tank turret.

Plz criticism, we require more information. (Srry if necropost)

We've managed to plagiarize a couple blueprints off of some scientists back on earth. We haven't built any yet, but when we get around to making them, they're going to look like these:

Standard issue: http://orig00.deviantart.net/512f/f/200 ... akettu.jpg
What we give to the person who commands the people using the standard issue mechs: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/c ... Body09.jpg
Nuclear missile launchers. These are supposed to be used in diplomatic affairs: https://blurppy.files.wordpress.com/201 ... x_4992.jpg
What our ex-british friends call "what we send to the other side when threatened with genocidal violence." For some reason, the original design had a funky-designed cockpit. Not very compatible with humans. Probably not a good sign about the quality, but the weapon specialists told me they were really good at nailing home the message that we don't want to be invaded: http://media.moddb.com/images/mods/1/6/5592/35160.jpg

Hopefully, we'll be finished building them before Hideo Kojima, H. G. Wells, W40K's Emperor or the people who made BattleTech find out their design's been pilfered by a couple of perverted scientists back at on Pluto.

Question, how's a vehicle as small as that supposed to handle the recoil of a 80mm gun, especially a automatic one?

The bigger question might be why its posted in this thread as it is very obviously NOT a mech... So it shouldn't have been posted here in this thread in the first place. It should probably have been posted in the tank thread instead where I'm sure it would have been ripped apart with a viciousness...

He probably actually means it's a .80cal gun ie roughly 20mm which, if the thing was scaled correctly to hold 2 people in the hull, would be an easy fit

Due to the nature of the reactor, being solar-based as well as being able to generate it's own power, the range is as far as it's needed.
They're 62 feet from the feet to the top of the head.
About 69.8 tonnes of fun.
One pilot, hooked up with neural link to the system.
A shield on one arm, a big ol' laser gun on the right
A DR Solar-particle reactor hooked into the back
Armor is made of E-carbon.

The biggest mech of Bedetopia belongs to Destruction, member of the ruling Steak Squad. It can hold 151 soldiers (150 reloaders and 1 pilot which in this case is Destruction).
It posesses two incendiary rocket launchers and one powerful explosive launcher. Also capable of FTL travel to compensate for its slow speed.

Size comparison with a Bedetopian Soldier and a "Gattron".

Mook Commanders also got their own mechs, but the design is kept secret for now.

Dragoon des Chevaliers
(Knights' Dragoon)

Image
Dragoons of the elite Maison de la Grande Reine

The Grand Kingdom of Blancpayne has a feudal army, and mechas called the Dragoons are used exclusively by the nobility, particularly the knights. Unlike the neighboring Empire of Noirerouge, Blancpayne doesn't have standard dragoon models as the every knight customize his/her own dragoon according to one's preference, and as such, no two Blancpayne dragoons are the same. Vast majority of Blancpayne's dragoons bears resemblance to 13th-14th century knights, with decorated great helms and towering kite shields, while dragoons of the elite Maison de la Grande Reine and Ilvane's Réunion Royale bears resemblance to 15th century knights clad in Maximilian armor, but most unique of all the dragoons is Aethel's Lancomes Delphine, with their lamelar armor and Aethelian helmet gives them a resemblance of elven warrior rather than a knight, which makes sense since Aethel used to have an elven majority.

Image
A Blancpayne dragoon

But while each​ and every Blancpayne dragoon is unique on the outside, it is a different story on the inside. Like Noirerouge, Blancpayne also use standardized Dragoon Mainframes (DMF) to bring down cost and streamline logistics.

But unlike Noirerouge​, Blancpayne knights has two options for their DMF:

Nerault NA-17 Nene

Image
The Nene DMF without armor, no fuss and easy to maintain

Model number: NA-17
Code name: Nene
Classification: 3rd-Generation DMF
Manufacturer: Nerault Guild
Operator/s: Grand Kingdom of Blancpayne
Accommodation: 1 pilot only, in non-ejecting torso cockpit
Dimensions: Height 15 meters; Width 9.3 meters
Weight: 60 tons (DMF only), 70 tons (avg armored weight)
DMF material: Dwarven steel
Powerplant: 1x Historia ultracompact reactor
Propulsion: Landspinner propulsion system, Valkyrie MkI plasma thruster system

The mainstay DMF of Blancpayne, designed with economy, simplicity, and durability in mind, the Nerault NA-17 "Nene" lacks the refinement and agility of the Edelhardt, but what it lacks in finesse, it more than makes up in low cost and ruggedness. The Nene is loved by knights due to its ability to take a lot of beating, while needing only minimum maintenance, in contrast to its more brittle counterpart. While outdated compared to the Edelhardt, it is still greatly superior against Orc's "Ersatz Dragoons" and in the hands of a veteran knight, it can bring down an Edelhardt. The Nene DMF makes up the 70% of Blancpayne's dragoons.

Auto Gurren AG4 Edelhardt

Image
The Edelhardt DMF without armor and head cockpit,
It's head cockpit also serves as ejection pod

Model number: AG4
Code name: Edelhardt
Classification: 4th-Generation DMF
Manufacturer: Auto Gurren GmbH
Operator/s: Noirerouge Empire, Grand Kingdom of Blancpayne, Dwarven Republics
Accommodation: 1 pilot (standard)/2 pilots (Dwarven variant), in ejectable head cockpit
Dimensions: Height 14 meters (without head cockpit), 20 meters (with head cockpit); Width 9 meters
Weight: 42 tons (DMF only, without head), 68 tons (avg armored weight)
DMF material: Tarinium ceramic-alloy composite
Powerplant: 2x Historia ultracompact reactors
Propulsion: Landspinner propulsion system, Valkyrie Mk2 plasma thruster system

Made by the Auto Gurren GmbH, a joint Dwarven-Noirerouge company, the Auto Gurren AG4 "Edelhardt" is the standard DMF of the Dwarven Republics and the Noirerouge Empire, as well as the DMF of choice of the Blancpayne's elite. The Edelhardt showcases​ the best of Human and Dwarven technologies, and compared to the rough brawler that is Nene, Edelhardt is like a fine and athletic elven ballerina as her neuro-linked 4th-generation servimotor and dual reactors gives her unparalleled speed and maneuverability. The dual reactors also give the Edelhardt the ability to use either a laser rifle, or in the case of Blancpayne, a plasma lance. But all of these advantages comes at a cost, they are expensive, brittle, and capricious to maintain, and while the Dwarves and the Noirerouge can afford these costs thanks to their efficient organization and booming economy, the same cannot be said to the feudal Blancpayne, and is thus reserved on only to the elite knightly orders such as the Grand Queen's Maison de la Grande Reine, Ilvane's Réunion Royale, Aethel's Lancomes Delphine, and Salade's Course Varangienne, as well as the top nobility of the Kingdom.

This horrid thing is not technically a mech (it's more a weird exoskeleton) but tank Strikers are close enough to mechs that I put it here. Apart from the barrel (from a Bofors 40mm because it is), the helmet, the uniform camo and (technically) the Steyr (though I scaled it to JG scale myself) everything is original and done by myself. One pixel = one square inch as usual for JG scale, the guns in the picture are the typical arms of a tank Witch, more to come if I can ever be arsed to touch this thing that took quite some time to hammer out, and even then it doesn't look quite right. Though that's probably just because JG scale might be too small for this - the big thing on the top is a 'shield' for the Bofors' magazine and action, the reason it only has one on one side is because the tank Witch is expected to be able to handle shots from all directions (via her magic shields) and the shield is just extra protection from small arms. The thing behind the Witch's back is a 'seat' and functions as, well, a seat, as well as housing extra armor and the electronics/radio/ECM.

Part of the trouble with drawing this was that there are a lot more drawings of regular Strike Witches than tank ones, and still more modern flying Witches than modern tank Witches, and even then there aren't many images of tank Witches from good angles to make pixel drawings like this from. V:

Sergius Universalis Mechfighter Corps

Image
Petra Neverland, Sergius' Ace of Aces and mother of the Mechfighter Corps

Mech combat is something of an adopted doctrine for Sergius, they learnt the art from Blancpaynean mercenaries and knights, matter fact the SMF-01 Freelancer is a Blancpaynean design. But unlike Blancpayne where the mech serves as the backbone of her military, Sergius mech doctrine is more specialized to niche roles such as rapid deployment and irregular terrain combat, where deploying conventional armour is impractical and time-consuming.

Another difference between Sergiusian mechs and Blancpaynean dragoons would be their pilots. Blancpaynean knights are born from the elite Blancpaynean nobility, who would personally provide their own dragoons. In contrast, Sergiusian hunters (term for mech pilots) were chosen by merit, regardless of their social standing, and whose mechs are provided by the corps.

Currently, Sergius has two Mech Fighter models in service:

SMF-01 Freelancer

Image
SMF-01 Freelancer, Sergius' first mech fighter, in Army colours

Model number: SMF-01
Code name: Freelancer
Classification: 1st-Generation SMF
Manufacturer: Nerault Guild (Mk.1), Nova Ibizan Engineering Union (Mk.2)
Operator/s: Union of Communes of Sergius Universalis
Accommodation: 1 pilot in non-ejecting torso cockpit
Dimensions: Height 10.3 meters; Width 5.45 meters
Weight: 36 Tonnes
Armor material: Ostchester Armor
Powerplant: 1x Histoire ultracompact reactor
Propulsion: Landspinner propulsion system, Valkyrie MkI plasma thruster system
Armament: Nerault 113mm L/58 Plasma Railgun (Mk.1), Imperial Ordinance L120A3 5.25inch L/52 Laser Propelled Gun with coaxial autolaser (Mk.2)

The mainstay MF of the SUMC, Thr SMF Freelancer is based from the Blancpaynean Nerault NA-17 Nene, albeit more lighter thanks to usage of more advanced materials and smaller dimensions. The Freelancer enjoys the simplicity and ruggedness of the Nene, while having better performance thanks to its lower weight. The Freelancer debuted at the Battle of Galliapolis, where the the combined force of Sergius Universalis Defense Force, Blancpaynean "mercenaries", and Tawalisian Navy had finally turned the tide of the Sergiusian Revolution to Sergius' advantage.

SMF-02 Minuteman

Image
SMF-02 Minuteman in Space Fleet colours

Model number: SMF-02
Code name: Minuteman
Classification: 2nd-Generation SMF
Manufacturer: Neo-Vienna Design Union
Operator/s: Union of Communes of Sergius Universalis
Accommodation: 1 pilot in non-ejecting torso cockpit
Dimensions: Height 10.49 meters; Width 5.50 meters
Weight: 40 tons
DMF material: Ostchester Armor
Powerplant: 2x RR Victoria Mk.VI PSI (Perpetual Solar Ion) Drive
Propulsion: Landspinner propulsion system, Gabriel Ion Verniers
Armament: Imperial Ordinance L120A3 5.25inch L/52 Laser Propelled Gun with coaxial autolaser

Despite the enormous success of the Freelancer, the SUDF is aware that the SMF-01 is a logistical nightmare, with a lot proprietary Blancpaynean parts and technology, from her powerplant, down to the shape and size of the bolts, the Freelancer requires her own supply chain, not to mention, a dedicated maintainance crew, something Sergius lacks. The design convention had setup a commission to create an SMF that use as much indigenous technology as possible, The Neo-Vienna Design Union won the bidding thanks to their design using the standard RR Victoria Mk.VI PSI drive used on existing aerospacrafts and armored vehicles. The design was dubbed as the SMF-02 Minuteman, named after a legendary group of revolutionaries back on Erde. Despite gaining very little improvement in performance with the Freelancer, the Minuteman makes it up for its simplicity and streamlined logistics. The Minuteman debuted at the Battle of Moonwalk, the final battle of the Sergiusian Revolution.
