UPDATE 21: 07/16/15For #ThrowbackThursday we wanted to show you concept art that led to the final!!! Along with some of the story behind it!  Featured Mecha: SeekerThe first matter of business was deciding on an overall shape to base from. We knew we wanted it to be called a Seeker, so the “eye” was going to be it’s main characterstic feature. So we started throwing shapes around, from quad to bipedal, in the end, we decided to do something less “conventional” like maybe some insect-like legs. It was a tough call but we decided to go forward with the I version. The next step after deciding on an overall shape, was the finally design the “eye”. A little more was designed of the Seeker, that helped us decide: The Seeker is the most abundant form of Miasm, these are known to be the main city-wreckers. What people call an “eye” is actually a membrane able to vibrate at ultrasonic speeds, and with it’s flaps around the “eye” able to project that vibration to short distances.
Most Man-made buildings can’t handle the vibration and topple down quickly. The same for vehicles, and even some military weapons. it’s no surprise the Miasm are seen as an almost unstopable force, to handicap the seeker we limited it’s mobility with short legs.With that little knowledge in mind, we ended up deciding on a hybrid of number 7 for the eyes to support what we had come up with, and 6 for the stubby claw legs as a handicap.  The next round was to finalize the design before the coloring phase, things we took into consideration were the flaps, the “neck”, the back, the tail and to a small extend we also fleshed out the legs. In the end, we opted for choice number 2. Once the design was complete, the following step was to color it. Which we decided to go for a more pale color with a purple subcolor.

After years of learning from and working for many unsavory characters, she applied for residence in Amatsu, seeking to start anew. She is reserved, and has not made any meaningful connections with the other students in her class. Ikarane suffers from a mild case of paranoia, and suspects that people always want to use her as others have done in the past.  Plz follow us on the Twitter and the FB!

UPDATE 16: 07/09/15For #ThrowbackThursday we wanted to show you the concept art that led to the final for one of our favorite mechas Nightstrike!!! Along with some of the story Featured Mecha: NightstrikeA modern High Speed Assault robot by weapon industry giant, Worldwide Armaments. Though originally the concept was commissioned by the UoN, Worldwide reserved the rights to sell the VTs to any off-world military force. It's namesake comes from it's nocturnal combat abilities, including a jammer to prevent radars and sensors from detecting it and and NV camera which gives them the upper hand against most VT assailants on the cover of night.  Having a total of 14 jet thrusters located on the back of the shoulder, the skirt, legs and back, it makes it one of the most mobile VT to date. However it also means that the energy efficiency is also on the low side, requiring periodical tuning and maintenance. Surprisingly, the structure of thrusters and where they are located through the body of the VT, while it improves mobility, it affects any 360 degree maneuverability, such as in in space maneuvering. Making it a poor choice on space combat. Plz follow us on the Twitter and the FB! Twitter: @Studio_XF8Facebook: CrossFateGameSubscribe for Email Update

UPDATE 11: 07/02/15For #ThrowbackThursday we share concept art that has lead to the finals for our fav MECHAS!!! Along with some of the story Featured Mecha: Golden StarThe personal VT of Mercenary Legend, Jean Kay. The most distinct characteristic of it is the gold color, which makes it easily recognizable in battle. On top of that it counts on two special features to maximize it's tactical value. A Grapple Line mounted on the arm, that allows the pilot to not only pull but unsuspecting targets, but large objects as well (with almost negligible damage...). And the second feature are the Wheels on the feet of the robot, which increases mobility and maneuverability of the VT on ground. Not to mention it looks incredibly cool.
