Thank you for making this unit. Sorry you had to put up with our strange animation requests.

Edit: @ Pounder - the dashpots used are repurposed railcar bumpers.

Well since I limit myself to units that I've seen, this one was a little more unusual. It was akin to making a pokemon unit, as an example of something I have no interest or knowledge of. Just as an example of cource.

Also I realised that I did all the animations without the extra rivet detail. Rats.

Reminds me of the Sphere of that old time-travel show "7 Days", I wonder if that was based on this design? Anyway beautiful work, as always Wyrmshadow.

This Unit will become a challenge to build in outside the SteamPunk World. But I will give my best to find a place for it.
It would be welcome by me ,if someone would upload some sounds for this Unit.
The dashpots will allow to give the unit a reasonable defence setting.

It will take some time, but I intend to grab and convert some sounds from the movie. hopefully someone will beat me to it with a set.

As a lover of all things steampunk, it strikes me as well designed and rendered, with a most lovely death sequence. Bravo.
