A shorter, bulkier mech than most, the Bonfire Scalycap makes up for its small size and poor mobility with its outstanding durability and impressive heat-based offensive weaponry. Able to easily counteract any signs of overheating with the full-system exhaust, this machine can always push past its limitations to get in that always needed extra hit. Remember, If things ever start looking rough, you can set this mech to full overcharge, super-heating itself to the extreme. Fire will bellow out of ever exhaust, the surface will start to glow, and the ground will start to melt around you, if you survive nothing will survive your fury. Bonfire Scalycap was chosen as this species of fungus grows best after forest fires.
Another design for my Golden Gear Syndicate, introducing the “Swamp Beacon”, an old mech designed for ocean salvage missions, mostly retired by the syndicate, but every once in awhile you’ll see a veteran still piloting one of these junkers. While battered and weathered, this colossus is still ready for a fight with their trusty anchor in hand. Swamp Beacon was chosen in reference to the fungi’s damp choice of habitat and the lights covering the construct.
Finally able to get something complete for posting and I’m really happy with it
This is a fan-mech design for Lancer RPG, I haven’t played it, but I fell in love with the world and art and have recently started watching Zero.Blue.Orion on YouTube. I very quickly felt the need to design my own mechs, Bleeding Tooth being the first.
The Golden Gear Syndicate is a large criminal organization who makes a profit off of stolen goods/materials. They then use the best parts to make mechs which they sell on the black market, and the best mechs they make are used to steal better stuff. They’ll all have a very scrappy, weathered, and personalized appearance to them. I chose to name them after fungus to reflect their resilient, scavenger like nature, and the highly individualized style (Also, fungus are just cool and have the best names, i.e. Bleeding Tooth). Bleeding Tooth is in reference to the fungus of the same name and was chosen for its brutal name and the weaponized head/mouth of the mech
