With the collaborative chops of

1) The OG OD (army olive drab). Featuring the conspicuous BIG RED 1 of the legendary 1st Infantry Division. The nickname "Willie" is after General George Patton's beloved English Bull Terrier -who was himself named after William the Conqueror. Classic Patton. 

2) Army Ranger style. A popular camo scheme most often seen on the ubiquitous medium mech, Big Joe: rob-cavanna.deviantart.com/art…

3) A desert scheme commonly adopted by the MW-6's tracked cousin, the M-6 Heavy tank: www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx…

4) This unit was captured by Japanese forces and repainted in an unusually bold scheme... but why would they do that? 


Hey folks, if you have any thoughts on a better name than MW-6, I'm open to suggestion. If the M-6 tanks ever entered service, I'm sure it would have donned something more charming than alpha-numerics too. Brits were especially poetic with that task. I'd like to think that in the world of OPDS, the anthropomorphic nature of the mechs helps stimulate a little more creativity in the American cool-names-for-vehicles department.

Wouldn't make more sense if the weapon's charging handles were located on the inside in case the mech needs to clear a dud or malfunction?
