#mechatober2025 no 28, Crystal.
My original idea for this one was sub-par so, in a way, I'm glad I left it until waaay late to do it properly; I think this one has some neat elements to it that I'd like to improve on in the future.

Mechatober 27, Otherworldly; things got a little bit Klendathu.
I refuse to accept this new month's attempt to stop me getting everything finished on schedule :D

#Mechatober2025 no 24, Freeze.
Made a slightly snowman-looking mech with icicle spikes, quilted jacket, and tacticool-snood.

#Mechatober no 26, Race.
It's basically a skating mech with jet engines for fists, that naruto-runs.
I like the idea, not so much the execution, so it's one I'll return to at another point.

#mechatober 20, Tread.
I don't know why, after the monowheel tank, I was struggling for an idea for tread: All I had to do was design a robot that used the instability of a trike to ruin the functionality of a tank! :D

#mechatober2025 22, Hollow.
My initially thoughts were along the lines of Zakat; a big hollow sphere type mech. Glad I persisted, as I prefer this idea. It's based on the Brazen Bull.

#mechatober2025 19, Flame.
This one took too long because all I could think about was a robot with it's head on fire.
Think I did enough to make it seem a little interesting, but it's probably one that could do with a revisit to push the idea a bit further.

I feel like a lot of this month is just turning into me trying to find ways to incorporate big gloves into everything.

#mechatober2025 17, Duelist.
Had a very wild train of thought going for this one; an oversized revolver with a basket hilt wrapped around the mech's body.
It's not a combat mech, but designed exclusively for competition shooting (at another mech).

#mechatober2025 No. 12 - Bio.
I guess I put a fair few "bio" elements in my designs anyway so, for this one, I just turned them up a little bit; more teeth, tongue body, and a pumpkin colour-scheme to appear suitably spoopy.

#mechatober2025, 09 - Toxic.
Went with something based on one of those frogs you shouldn't lick (more than all the other frogs you also shouldn't lick). They're poisonous but that counts as toxic, right?

Should've made the sun a little more sun-like, but I want to get through a few of these guys tonight.

#Mechatober2025 no 7, Fantasy, was obvious: had to be a wizard mech.
But another thought was floating around my head; "what if Hat, but also... Zock?"

#Mechatober2025 no 6 - Experimental. And it's a bone-armoured monowheel-tank.
I have to admit, I got a bit stuck on what would actually make something -look- experimental. Best I could come up with was something that looked so obviously destined to fail it could never be more than an experiment.

Goddamnit! It's only Thomas the Tank Engine again. I think my default colour-scheme settings need rebooted.
Anyways, it's Mechatober2025 no 5: Scavenger.
I figure it puts fancy bits in the container on its back and has a limited ability to carry things while mono-wheeling about.

No 4. Antique... Ball gown? It's all I could come up with and it has, by far, the largest teeth I've ever put on a robot.

#Mechatober2025 No.2 Mercenary.
And, apparently, nothing screams "mercenary" to me more than a demented Thomas the Tank Engine enthusiast.
I had to put some orange on the top to try and break that vibe down a little bit :D
