Heron MK I scout walker (2020 build)

Head-on front view.

Named after a bird known for slowly wading through swamps looking for prey, the Heron is a very light mech that can stalk targets all the same.

This skirmisher variant is equipped for more direct combat, featuring a light Gauss Cannon on the left side and two light Rayguns on the right, in addition to the standard pair of chin-mounted light machine guns and rear SSAM-2s.

Inspired by various Metal Gears, Star Wars walkers, and the Halo Mantis, among others. Thanks to not having a human form, the Heron succeeds the Peltast as my smallest mech design and was the last mostly completed build of 2020.

My favorite things about this MOC are the use of the old, discontinued boat piece inverted and used to form the bulk of the turret head, and the panels used as 'butt-flaps' (lol) to armor up and add some form to the rear of the legs without sacrificing articulation.
