A medium walker in the Zalmoxis Mech Division.
About this creation
MOC Background:
I had this on WIP mode for months. I had made little progress for several weeks, then recently, I worked up the initiative to finish it in 2 hours. It's gone through drastic redesigns, and several additions. In my opinion, this is probably my best mech yet. The head was the most difficult part. Ignore the stand in some pics, it can stand without it, but I didn't want to take any chances.
Mech Background:
The Heavy Assualt Weaponized Tactical Walker, or HAWT Walker, is the newest addition to the Mech Division of the Zalmoxis Military Directorate. It requires an elevator or stairs to reach the cockpit. Various field tests have shown the leg boosters have come in handy for charginf or escaping. However, the large head has limited maneuverability. Just like all the mechs in the ZMD, this mech has an interchangeable array of weapons.

Remnant Arm MOC Background:
The MW-28 Mk1 is one of four new walkers added to the Zalmoxis Mech Division this year. It is a medium walker, meaning it has a fairly good balance of weapons and maneuverability. The mech was created to counter the surprising power of the Outer Colonial Militia's contracted Walker Division. It is a favorite of mech pilots, due to its powerful boost jets mounted on the legs. It replaced the aging Sasquatch as the difficult-terrain walker.

Standing with its angled legs. Now that I look at it after Scorp's suggestion, it could use some beefed up arms.

Those orange 1x1s have been replaced with grey 1x1 cylinders, giving it a better look.

The legs and the stand. The walker can stay up without the stand, but I didn't want to risk it while taking pictures.

The chest has two signal lights which are used to gain the attention of others while in the dark.

Excellent shot of the leg booster jets. YOu can also see the joint pieces I used from the AT-AT.

The interior of the cockpit. In correspondence with Xerxes' suggestion on SSLF, I think I'll add some more stuff in there.

The windshield and surrounding areas. As I previously mentioned, I've replaced those 1x1 trans-orange round plates with 1x1 grey cylinders.
