Comment on D I E by ukitakumuki
Is this supposed to be based off of Heavy Gear?
not at all. But I really fucking hope Activision gets their shit together and does something with the franchise!!!!!
They didn't. Which is why Stompy Bot and MekTek stepped up. Unfortunately, since things went under earlier with the Kickstarter, they're going to be looking for other backers for their new Heavy Gear Assault game.
I did recognize the inspiration for the autocannon in this one, though.

it is the best, isn't it 
I think it was the light one actually that stayed with me for a long time. So good. And the DeployablePackGun as well!

And the DeployablePackGun as well!You haven't seen the little work-ups they did in the Heavy Gear Assault concept art for the LAC, have you? Great work there, looks like an upgraded AK-47 on 20mikemike steroids. Really great stuff.
But yeah, the DPG is a classic. Unfortunately for the board game, it's kinda of... well, puny. When you can create your own little list, most folks want to go with a bruiser like the Medium Bazooka. No surprise there. But then, being an ex-tanker, I've always held a little soft spot for the Aller and Visigoth, and the newest NuCoal designs, the Fusilier and the Voltiguer.

Goodness.. no I'm afraid all that is lost on me, my only real entrypoint into the franchise is the great western-manga look and the killer games. Do you know about 
?
?Hey ukita, when you see this you should check out my profile. Heavy Gear Assault's Kickstarter may have failed, but their Alpha is now up.
Oh thanks so much!!
