Aegis Overlord: Aquilion, second look
Joseph Hewitt:
Here's a look at my most recent version of the Aquilion mecha:
I inked this picture on the computer with my graphics tablet, so it's a little shaky. I still need more practice to really get the hang of it.
This mecha is being introduced by Aegis to counter enemy battroids like the Savin and Zerosaiko. It will enter production sometime between GH1 and GH2. Its weapons include heavy missiles, nuclear cannons, and probably some kind of emelee weapon.
draconuszero:
Not really importnant, but if you are naming the mecha after the board member here, isn't it Aquillion?
On the topic of the melee weapon, what about a whip or beam lash?
Sabin Stargem:
It looks to be an heavy assault unit, but the cannons are so long that fighting in melee is impractical, except for possibly blocking melee attacks with the cannons themselves. If they were detachable though, then the fists could be decent but not great weapons. Alternatively, maybe the beam cannons themselves could be covered with an sheath-field of cutting nanites, which might be neater and more practical.
Joseph Hewitt:
Actually, the melee-fighting mechanism I have in mind is for the cannons to detach from the arms (they're on mounting points) and get stowed flat against the inside of the shoulder pad "wings". This moves them away from the forearms (though the gun-tips are still poking out the bottom), at which point an energy weapon or two can be deployed.

Big damn energy knives. Or E-Knuckles. :)
