Grandma-9000

Here's my contribution to this week's challenge (although I don't know how "Robotech" it may or may not be), and to the Kung-Fu Robot Challenge.  Rendered in ink and marker with photoshop color effects.

Grandma9000

Specs:
97 ft., 42.7 ton, Sally-13 Chassis, retrofitted to Mother-2000 and Grandma-9000 specs.

Weapons and defense systems:
  • “YIP” missle defense system
  • Flame-thrower
  • Retractable flail bludgeons

Weaknesses / vulnerabilities:
  • Old and rusty, made of replacement parts
  • Stabilization monopod added to left arm as temporary support device, which also can be used as a weapon.
  • Retractable bludgeons don't retract all the way anymore.
  • Slow

History:
Grandma-9000 is a refurbished defense robot that has had numerous parts replaced over the years. The Grandma-9000 began it's life as a Sally-13 defense training vehicle, but was later retrofitted with detachable, multiple-user capabilities and became a Mother-2000. After the child units began to malfunction, some becoming co-dependent, and some becoming overly incompatible with the mother unit, the child units were repurposed to a military school. Unfortunately, the Mother-2000 didn't function well alone, and a companion “YIP” deployment system was added for stability and ranged defense

    1. Thanks. It's a little less impressive on the original, since it's all in greytones and yellow. I do like it better after applying a little photoshop magic to it. Thanks, Kevin!
