Underrated anime. It actually inspired me to create this series back in the day.

Thank you! I wanted to evoke more of a space shuttle design vibe for Artemis' skirt.

The Hen and Rooster tankheads were pinnacles of Neverwar era Alliance engineering. A battery’s worth of artillery and an infantry fighting vehicle capable of deploying four egg tankettes ideal for urban combat. Despite their size both maintained good mobility in the field.

The type-s kiyoyasu from Tankead. A walking mecha styled like a ww1 tank.

In WC010 the Kaiser gifted three Stormwalkers to Yamaichi as part of a non-aggression pact. These were quickly reverse engineered allowing the Yamaichi to produce their first tankhead, the Type-S Kiyoyasu. While clearly based on the Stormwalkers, nearly all parts were redesigned.

The Graf Zeppelin, A Jethead carrying Shiphead from Tankhead artbook by Emerson Tung and Tim popelier

The Graf Zeppelin, A Jethead carrying Shiphead from Tankhead artbook by Emerson Tung and Tim popelier

Most shipheads stand upright in a human-like posture, but when designing an aircraft carrier shiphead this can be a challenge. The Graf Zeppelin used a stooped configuration first developed for the Panzerblitzechse II to increase its launch deck length.

A fictional newspaper front page "the ludencia times" with the headline "mosnters! Empire's terrifying new war machines appear on the front lines" showing an image of a stormwalker in action.

In the year WC010, the A7V Stormwalker became the first tankhead to be deployed into combat. The armored giants striding onto the battlefield caused shock and awe on both sides as the Kyzerians managed to hide their prototypes and experiments from the Alliance up to that point.
