Description
Part of a story I am developing. The skelebot is an organic machine created by an alien race called the Madh'ik (pronounced mah-JEEK) to expand their war machine while conserving resources. A skelebot begins with the corpse of a fallen enemy or friendly soldier. Soft tissue is removed, and the remaining bones are coated in a carboniferous substance that is flexible enough to allow full joint movement but strong enough to deflect most hand-held projectile weapons and coherent energy beams. Electronic stimulation of the joint material allows the skelebots to move. The large chestplate contains an onboard tactical and control computer, while the implanted head dress is a highly sophisticated sensor system that combines ladar, sonar, motion detection and electromagnetic detection and jamming. A skelebot may technically be made from the remains of any animal life form with an endoskeleton, but bipedal humanoids are most common. The skelebot can use any weapon it can handle or carry mounted on its back.
Used M3 skeleton, Epsilon armor, Anton's Egyptian pillars and parts of the Merlin ruins. Masks and headpiece are by Poisen.
