Ok... So as of late (last night in specific) my pencil and Photoshop have taken the place of my kitbash tools. As such I have already posted the 2 of the digibashes I've finished and the 1 I'm currently working on. But that's off topic... (Heh.)

A while back I asked for help on info about the Liege Maximo. (Topic can be found here.) If you look there it says that I planned on using a pic someone drew of G1 Sixshot as inspiration for my own Liege design. (This pic from here.) Well... Last night... I set down and finally drew him up. This is what I came up with:



The head actually is a seperate vehicle... The guns on his shoulders go with it and it turns into this:



The bike there is large enough for a bot the size of Optimal Optimus to actually ride it comfortabley. So you can gather from there just how large the body is...
Also the wings that stick out from the sides of his stomach area there can be taken off and used as blade weapons as shown in this pic:



Anyways... What do you all think of my redesigned Lige Maximo with reduced power?

I like his giant hand the most, very sinister. good design, just needs to be cleaned up a little.

As much as I like the design it just dont scream Liege Maximo to me, sorry..

I know. He's not really supposed to... Until I color him that is.

And what giant hand? You mean the one with the claws? If so those are retractable and in both of his hands. If you look closely to the inside of the right thumb you will see a tiny piece where the "hatch" is opened, allowing the claw to come out. If you mean the left hand, well... It's holding a double barrel gatling gun (via the Gundam Heavy Arms Custom from Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz). The thing I do plan on showing how and where its held when not in use... Though that will also be a pic revealing what the body's vehicle mode looks like. The claws are also the only really "cosmetic" thing that makes him a version of the Liege...

Anyways... My design and I love it. I'm actually very pleased with how he turned out...

Note that the "HEVY METL" thing will be removed. It's actually just something I came up with long ago that I put on certain mechs I draw. (I have no others scanned.)
It's also a very cheap reference to the original 80's "Heavy Metal" movie. That movie (primarily the music) has inspired many mechanical designs from me... So I pay homage to it with my own little "HEVY METL" thing.

Ok, so... This is no longer meant to be the Liege Maximo at akk and has, instead, gone on to become something else for roleplay purposes...

Anyways, I finally got around to coloring this some point not too long back. Here are the finished pics:


Bot mode;


Head alt mode.

Still no alt mode of the body yet... Will be working on that one day. But, right now... Got other things on my plate.

In the meantime, some other pics of the bot mode:

"Empowered" bot mode:

And, lastly, my personal favorite: Ominous bot mode:
