details remain classified until the unveiling, but construction and testing of the first ever paintball mechanized suit had begun. it will look like a mix between a mad cat mech, and ed 209 from robocop. is will start off being equipped with a double trouble, 8 rocket launchers, and possibly an f8 as a secondary marker system. it will be EQUIPPED FOR NIGHT TIME OPERATIONS with (2) 15,000,000 candle power spotlights, and possible infra red nightvision (which i already own).
the system incorporates a large ammo drum on top of the shoulders with tubes running down the front of the chassis to feed the DT, which is powered by a scuba tank. the total possible ammo load is looking to be around 3-4 cases at a time. the rocket launchers will be divided in half, and each group will have a single shot feature. therefore i can have 8 law shots, not 2 of 4 rockets a piece. the mech is meant to be counted as a pug, as both the pilot and chassis will be extremely heavily armed and armored. as for the actual chassis, the frame itself is made from different combinations of re inforced tubing, as well as a special armored plating specifically light enough to use on this project, but also strong enough to stop the standard .68 caliber rounds. the size of this thing will be roughly the equivalent of mine plus about half a minicooper.


later additions (after initial operation and testing) include but are not limited to-

firepower upgrade- either to quadzilla, trident, minigun, or with heavy arm modification, the dreaded 8 A-5 setup.

mobility upgrades- may include but are not limited to spring dampened legs (we plan to attach 4 pogosticks to act as "moon shoes" on each foot, which could possibly increase top speed on foot to more than a running human)


elecrical upgrades- may include a battery powered radio, ammo level sensors, battery meters, a helmet integrated cooling system for the pilot, and possibly a zoom/targeting hud made from camera parts.

this is not a hoax, a joke, or some pipe dream. so if you've come to talk crap and tell me how stupid.overdone/useless it is, you can go somewhere else and save the post. ITS COMIN HATERS, EAT IT!




the unveiling is scheduled for november 15th at a field in zolfo springs florida where my team will be making its debut as the generaling force for the human side.

i, the pilot, will be extremely armored, and armed. the suit will be put to the test, and so will I. i hope anyone who can make it tries to, so they can witness the 22nd century in action!!!

holy poo....only words that come to mind. I think this may be one of the most extreme things ever to hit paintball.

How much does this cost!?

[betasniper]

Sounds Awsome. i like the idea, although im wondering about the armor? is it to stop the paintballs from breaking? or just stop it from hitting you? And what happens if you fall over?

anyways. nice suit.

ooh trust me this is just the first PR leak. im actually going el presidente with this mother.... an online rumor vid will be posted in a mintage as a teaser trailer, hopefully once its gotten mobile. then a music video after the release (the game on nov. 15) will be posted to the music of Fat man stomp, by bonecrusher. and then we plan to hit up a paintball magazine and invade your homes. bwahaha.


but yes comrades, this IS happening RIGHT NOW. WE'VE GOT 2 OF THE 8 ROCKET LAUNCHERS READY FOR INSTALL.

[Iron Eagle]

Are you going to put a kitchen sink in there too? Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing this. But wouldn't mobility be a problem? You got all those weapons, and paint and air, and expect to be mobile?

[Ethrealwolf]

Iron man, I love you

In a purely platonic and not at all weird way.

Now, we need to work out how to make a Imperator titan. or maybe just a warhound. I'm not picky.

I'm forseeing an epic build-off between Iron Man and FL^, eventually resulting in snapped femurs.

Even though I play pump, this still sounds epic.

[blackcelldrumr15]

Um, wow. That is all there is to say about that. We must have pics and videos!!!!!

You could probably build an Imperator, but you'd have to make it stationary...

[Iron__Man]

actually, my original plan to make it much like the lost in space robot (the newest movie version), kinda went through cause i couldnt find/build the motorized platfrom the feet wouldve been on, and i wouldve been standing on. (there's a scene in the movie where the kid is inside a hologram of the robot. that was the epiphany.)

so i decided to go more mecha than robot. so basically the legs will look alot like Ed 209, the torso and chassis like a madcat/ed209.

[mass destruction]

one word, and one word only.

wow, I hope i can see it in action when its complete. I havn't seen someone accomplish something this epic for ever....
