Dropzone Commander’s Resistance Fight Akira Style On Motorbikes!
July 23, 2014 by dracs
Despite not having the same level of technological support as the other factions, it looks as if the Resistance of Dropzone Commander will be pretty maneuverable as their latest previews show them riding out on motorbikes.
These bikers will be great for hit and run tactic, striking at tanks or infantry before disappearing around the corner of a building. Usually in Dropzone Commander, infantry best serve in buildings, but these guys look like they need to keep pretty mobile, letting you bring them to wherever your line needs the support.
Of course, sometimes the situation just calls for lots of guns, in which case this latest Resistance vehicle might hover into the fray.
As you can see, this hover craft sports a lot more guns than the previous one we saw, most of which look geared towards anti-aircraft.
What has me really interested though is the small car by its side. What is that that it's carrying?
Are you sold on the Resistance yet?

Like the look of the bike’s, but apart from the guy in the middle, they are some of the most awkward riding positions I’ve ever seen. The arms are bent just slightly more than 90 degrees, you would end up numb below the elbow. I mean they probably wouldn’t live long enough to get numb elbows, but….
The middle bike was almost perfect, until I realized that if he had to brake suddenly he would smash his teeth out on the screen.
Love the hover monster.
Nothin’ says lovin’ like an AA weapon in the ground support role! Not a fan of that weapon configuration on the bikes. They’ve obviously taken a page from GW. I’ve always been rather partial to the sidecar/MG34… I mean ‘generic’ MG configuration. Looks like there’s some handheld AT on the back, though. A motorcycle is a great way to get those where you need them.
Would be good to see some dune buggy/ATV stuff as well.
If you like the whole anima bike thing. You should check out “Venus Wars”. It even begins with drops ships dropping tanks into the city.
