I think it'd look awesome if he put the missiles inside the jaws.

I think part of the coolness factor of the New Zakrello is that it HAS no jaw. Though it could use another thruster where the gap currently is, it still looks fine.

I mean honestly..who puts teeth on a war machine..

... That isn't being used to clear landmines?

Ya know... I had some comment for that, but I've since forgotten it.

Anyway, this Zakrello II looks decent (Then again, I seem to be the only person around who isn't "TEH ZAKERLO SUX!!1!" ). The jaw, as noted, looks kinda weird, and I really like the color scheme (Although the little hearts thing on the should looks out of place at the moment). The arms are interesting, but seem a little... akward? I'm not sure, but they simply don't look right to me. Overall, it looks good but could use some work.

Um.......weren't there a bunch of US fighters during Vietnam and other wars that had teeth and a mouth painted on...??...... I think the teeth were painted on those fighters because the people who made them had a personal preference for it......

The Zakerello II does look like an incomplete skull without the jaw....hmm..... maybe Titans colors will make it not suck even more?!?!?!? (wow, that sounded wierd...) A great job on the Zakerello II though. *gives gold star sticker*

The Flying Tigers did that back in World War II, although the idea of painting teeth and/or mouths on aircraft wasn't limited to them and has been used by many many groups on many many aircraft (Hell, I have a model of a B-52 with a mouth painted on it! ).

^ I had a feeling that Red would reply to that.....
Huh, so I was sorta right after all. (OMG, ZG was right?!?!?!?!?!?Its the apocalypse)

(Geez, Red, its a good thing you are a mod, or Chris would have to make up a lot of new ranks....)

Yeah, I guess. I'm not sure if there was any special or well known squadron in Vietnam that did that, although I do know some units did paint mouths on their aircraft.

(Geez, Red, its a good thing you are a mod, or Chris would have to make up a lot of new ranks....)

There are literally so many different ways I could reply to that. In place of them all, I'll just do this...

[Mwulf]

Red? Huh. I've been reading it as "M-Cred". Like a lame rapper name.

Obviously you never read the "Meet The Mods" thread. ^^

(Rap... with an Eddie Van Halen avatar? Come on man! )

in all honesty, i liked the original zakerello better. The only thing i have a problem with on the Zakerello two is the lack of a bottom jaw. but other then that, its an awesome design. and hte missiles are a definant must for an MA

[deathpony]

Thanks for the positive comments, and for those who miss the jaw and think the claw was wrong:

HERE, HAVE A ZAKRELLO II KAI

[ironscythe]

That....is a very disturbing mobile armor.

[Hyakushiki]

I think you many have redeemed the Zakerello. It's rugged!

[Wedge14]

Being probably the number 1 fan of the Zakrello in the whole universe, i gotta say your version is quite nice. Of course i'm still partial to the original.

Keep up the excellent work!!

That thing looks menacing, that's for sure. Which is one thing I like about all of your designs: They look like suits I wouldn't wanna mess with

[EZero8]

deathpony... you just keep making the Zakrello cooler. Good job.

[Yuusha Tokkyu Might Gaine]

Think you can design a gundam head version of it?

[Naissus]

Wow, that's a really good GM. What techniques did you use to color it?
