Engines rumble, shaking the dust off rusted relics. Brother Pilots prepare for the mid-season Machinas Sprints. A prayer to The Oppenheimer and a cheer from the crowd begins the race!

| It's usually not advisable to try to pass between two heavily armed Infernals. |

| The Icon of Saint Mercury brought the only rockets to today's race. |

| Saint Chevy's Custom takes the lead with the Sedan of Saint Mercury in second. The Icon and Saint Cadillac's Winged One square off for third. |

| A safer view- but in the Machinas there is no glory in safety. |
Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteDamn I love your Machinas stuff! So evocative.
ReplyDeleteBut that safer view shot, and the others when I look hard at them, make me wonder why nobody thinks to mount rear-facing weapons on these beasts? Seems like the lead is a VERY dangerous place to be.
My Mutie Beauty and one of my trucks have rear-facing guns, but you're right, not much else I have reflects critical thinking on the builders' part :)
DeleteBut it's funny you mention that because today I was actually looking at a couple Hot Wheels cars that I was thinking of doing the main armament as a rear-facing element.
