XDF-6 Mech

Description
Please Rate lets get this on the front page!

(No Mods) Oxygen Enabled

Boz Corp. is proud to present the XDF-6, the latest version of the XDF modular mech system. The XDF-6 is capable of switching out different armaments quickly and easily for different roles. Depending on the job at hand the XDF-6 can swap out arm pods for specialized missions using the merge blocks. All the modular arm modules (gun pods, welding & grinding drones) are fully capable drones that can be remote controlled from any friendly cockpit within antenna range.

Each gun pod attached to the arms has its own ammunition container. If ammunition in one of the gun pods is running low or is exhausted the gun pods can be used as dumb bombs by activating their respective timer block. This will detach the gun pod activate its antenna and set their thrusters to maximum overdrive. The gun pod projectile can be guided to its target if you or another ally chooses to take control of it.

The legs can be disconnected which activates an additional antenna within the legs that can be used to extend the antenna network allowing connected allies the ability to control drones near the XDF’s field of operation. The legs also contain defensive systems such as ejectors loaded with steel plates that act as a chaff system and decoy blocks which can distract enemy AI turrets.

I created a version with legs that can move, but walking didn’t work as well as I would have liked, also those versions were very unstable when flying.

The XDF’s backpack can also separate from the mech allowing the mech to be operated as a drone. The pilot seat is tucked away in the backpack along with an oxygen generator. The cockpit location provides decent protection and the ability to use the backpack as a quick escape vehicle if the tide of battle becomes unfavorable. Once the backpack is separated from the body of the mech two rocket launchers and two Gatling guns activate providing the quick and lightly armored backpack some offensive capabilities.

Ctrl + V just like paste in windows will paste the selected blueprint into your creative world that has copy paste enabled in the settings of said world.
