Res-wR Terror Botby ~Legato895

Described as a "terror bot" designed to burrow into the middle of an enemy encampment discharging smoke and engaging in melee blade attacks this puppy is an attempt to explain how tunneling things actually tunnel. Rather than those things from tremors who apparently just hit their head into the ground until it moves, these guys retract their legs and use each segment's drill like grooves individually to pull one segment forward, hold and repeat down the line. The membrane in-between the segments are very elastic allowing a fairly large gap that the individual bits can pull ahead. With 4 long tracks on its front ‘jaws’ acting like dirt chainsaws the terror bot would effectively move through the ground like a wave dragging its changeable weapon pod behind it.

Done in sketchbook pro in and hour or so, I am loving the outcome. While I think the amount of detail is just a BIT too much for not being colored I don’t think it’s TOO hard to figure out. Really just the grooves in the outer hull are the only things that at first throw me off.

Hope you guys like it (I am not sure why I always say this… maybe it would be easier to just assume it was created for your enjoyment and only tell you if I DON’T want you to like it…
