Trick that Chub! Thread go!

[VitorFaria]

Hey, those are awesome, any reason for not posting them in your Chubdam thread?

[The Hydromancer]

Figured it was easier to post here for a change Once I brick them up I'll add them to the Chubdam page.

The Tumble Tiger is a standard Chub space proofed and outfitted with off the shelf parts to supplement the Terran Transit Marines squads' far more advanced Ospreys housed in the Byron System's Transit Gate. The Tumble Tiger is designed to engage with enemy frames that have made it to the surface of the Gate and dislodge them. Because projectile weapons or plasma edges may inadvertently damage the Gate, the Tiger executes its mission in a less orthodox fashion. Using a system of 14 thrusters and fueled by 4 additional fuel tanks, the Tiger barrels into enemy frames at high velocities, using a combination of its crash shield and twin eskrima batons to bullrush them, usually into the killzones of point defense clusters or the TTM Ospreys.

Great Chub and fluff, man!

Loving those thrusters and tanks!

Nice job man! The build, the color choice, and the photos!

Yeah I agree, that's a great build, love the use of pieces, and love the backstory to go along with it

Francisco Duarte inspired me to build a Hatchetman themed Chub, so here it is!

Shoulder-mounted Auto-cannon
Head-mounted Radar Fin

Excellent color choice VitorFaria. I never would have thought to use a Chub as the base for a BattleMech. I'll have to try that with some of the other humanoid mechs.

[KungFujiApple]

This little guys rocks. Love the color choice as Artasid mentioned, and the build / design is very nice. A neat design inspired from anther neat design

[VitorFaria]

Thanks, folk!

The Chub is a very versatile humanoid base, guys like Ryan can attest that!

I'm pretty sure one could make plenty of 'mechs on top of it!

[The Hydromancer]

All the CHUBS! GIVE ME MOAR!!

My entire first squad was basically a quartet of heavily modified chubs:

Those are some rad chubs, Omniscient Frog!

[The Hydromancer]

I really dig those chubs, especially the hilts on the upper legs design.

Agreed! These have a ton of variety, both in the theme and the design.

Thanks! Sadly, these ones have all been scrapped for parts for a while now, but they were fun to make while I was still starting out (and they were also an excellent lesson on how not to delegate systems )

Not sure if it fits, but... Heavy Chub? ^^

[SuspendedAnimation]

Definitely!

[Plexus]

Alrighty, here's a better version! An actually tricked out Heavy Chub ^^. With short range radio, chaff flairs, and torso mounted thrusters!

These have been on my flickr for about a week. I figured I should add them to the thread.
