Marduk-Meltrandi Battlesuit

Note: I did not draw this; Koichi Ohata did. I just scanned the artworks from a Macross II artbook, merged them in Photoshop, and colored the result.  

This is the Meltrandi-use powered armor Battlesuit from Macross II. However, its lower legs are swiped from Feff's commander-type Gigamesh* mech. I really like the design of the Marduk/Meltran suit, but I never liked its color scheme and I seriously dislike its skinny, pointy lower legs and high-heeled, tippy-toe feet. On the other hand, I never liked the Gigamesh* much except for its lower legs, with those big, stompy claw-feet and all. So I grafted the parts I like together and I'm pretty happy with the result.

*Yes yes, I know the Marduk's giant robot is traditionally called "Gilgamesh" (like the legendary character) but that's actually wrong. If you read the katakana, it's Gigamesh. No "l" (or "ru") in it anywhere.

Anyway! Obviously, I don't own Macross. All rights belong to Big West, Studio Nue, Shoji Kawamori, etc. No infringement intended nor implied, etc etc.
