Mercenary Mechs: Challenger Jax


This is Challenger Jax, main mech of the Mercenary Mechs story I'm currently working on.  Piloted by a crew of two, it's built for assault operations and for taking on and repelling enemy mechs.  It is armed with reinforced fists and frontal armor, two laser apertures (one in each forearm), and twelve missiles, set in packs on either side of the head.

The original design for Challenger Jax was a little more ridiculous in size, as in 14 stories tall.  Like this:


Mercenary Mechs started out as "giant robots vs giant robots".  I developed it and thought things out for a while, and scaled the mechs down to 3-4 stories/15-20 meters high (capping one story at 5 meters tall).  It works better, and fits the setting better...but if I had the chance, I would paint the original pose again in a heartbeat.
