The MAARS is a state of the art line of fully autonomous mecha designed to be cheap and highly customizable.
The potato digger variant is a model originally conceived as a mining unit to search for valuable ore in a plethora of environments, even on asteroids.
A few third world armies and militant groups weaponized a small number of these, even though they are not fully equipped for warfare.
A considerable update to an old robot design I used a lot in my early stop motion tests.
The first ones utilized Inika or Piraka bodies. This one uses a extra wide standard HF frame with a Drilldozer shoulder plate.
Everything here is pretty much an update of the old versions, including the head.
The originals had heads that could not turn at all, this one has a limited range of motion.
The hip design was inspired by a bootleg set I got that used a similar construct.
