    Yeah, couldn't think of a suitable pun for the title.



    That's a lot of dakka!

    Three whatever the hell they are (Rail weapons would be my guess), triple barrelled Ion Spifflicator*, two twin linked Burst Cannon, two SMS (though possibly just multi racked Missile Pods) and there's more dakka not shown on the right arm.

    *probably not it's proper name

    I still think the chest missiles ought to be set in to the frame more rather than being stuck on, but it is ludicrously awesome

    Looks like it might be multi-crewed as well....I'm spotting what appear to be vision slits of some kind on either side and the centre of the chest?

    It doesn't seem to be lacking in firepower, just hope they get the legs right. A bulky model with loads of guns can look off if the legs doesn't look just right.

    It should start the game as five Riptides that can only combine into this thing when they're within LoS of a Gargantuan Creature or Titan...

    You know I only discovered that by accident when I did a quick google for Mk. II pictures.

    I had to shut the page down very quickly as Amazon had an 'action figure' for it available for north of 300 dollars.
