Hell I love the zaku-like design of those mechs
Sieg Zeon!
I am loving stuff that Nu-Coal more than stuff that any other faction in Heavy Gear gets. Besides Nu-Coal gets gears that transform into tanks just like R-44 Guntank from Gundam F91 and Lodo from Gundam Unicorn.

Doing this as a Kyar Al Din army for many duelists despite it being not tourney legal right now. I want to be ready for when it moves out of beta.
