Firebee Concept Sketch
Added 2023-03-16 08:01:38 +0000 UTCThe most oddball of the proliferation bunch, the Firebee.
I have no love for this mech, but it's such an ugly ducking that in the production rush to get this force pack out I took on the task. An inside scoop is that this project landed on my teams plate with a very short window in order to squeeze it into a retail window. Even I'm impressed that CGL has managed to get copies in for Adepticon (I would guess flown in). Everyone involved crunched hard to get it done, and we're here.
On the design side for this one, in keeping with the primitive design theme I didn't try to overly improve things, but my focus was on overall proportional refinement, while also making the head more bee like, and making the torso more appealing as a solid core for the limbs to extend from. I kept it very leggy, but toned down some of the ridiculous articulation and length of the right arm.
Who's got love for this funky mech?

2023-03-16 17:30:59 +0000 UTCIt looks very true to the original, just less awkward. Well done. I’m going to throw it into a Reunification War company, and in current-era games it’ll stand in for the Yinghuochong (firefly).
