My original post didn't show up on the main page, and I don't know if this is a thing or what? So I'm re-posting the topic. I present to you Progulki Boyevaya Platforma or Object 295, my latest Heavy Gear conversion.

And after hunting around the internet, with some discussion the proper term should be Shagayushaya Boyevaya Platforma (Шагающая Боевая Платформа), which translates as walking fighting platform. Sounds good to me. |

That looks decidedly unfriendly! |

I was obviously channeling Chrome Hounds without knowing it. Nice looking game designs. |

And from further discussions it appears that perhaps the best translation is Pokhodnaya Boyevaya Platforma(Походная Боевая Платформа), which comes out literally as hiking fighting platform, but pokhodnaya being it's the root for all words that involve walking in Russian. |

I really dig that machine! Gonna have to trust you about what to call it in Russian, however. |

Thank you guys. These Heavy Gear Caprice four legged walkers, called mounts, are rather tasty. I'm so glad I chipped in for the KickStarter. So many possibilities for interesting conversions. |
