It's one of those mechs that can transform into a tank. Interesting but definitely something that wouldn't be caught dead on my work bench I'm afraid.

It isnt meant to transform into anything. Dont know where ya see that at. It ia made from several tank kits and imagination. Dont know why it woudlnt be on your workbench either. Also take alook at his other creations. This person has some talent under his belt in deed. :-)

Well the general chunkiness of it and the odd presence of tank treads on a mech suggests in can transform into such a thing. I wouldn't want it on my workbench because giant bulk-mechs really just don't do it for me. Yes, his stuff is interesting and all, just the giant mech thing seems dumb to me ;D

It is beautifully done, and has a VSF feel, leaning towards steampunk.

Absolutely agree.

Chunkieness? Screams VSF/Steampunk to me. And the treads arent to be treads as they are drive belts for the legs. Looking at the treads and the gears they wrap around the treads wouldnt ever hit the ground. The gears are much bigger. Again, big and bulky just screams VSF/Steampunk to me. Aint like VSF and such are known for their slimline sleek silhouettes. :-)
