The latest iteration in the successful Gears of War franchise, Gears of War 3, will now be featuring small bipedal mecha. Shown in recently in a Russian games magazine, the C.O.G. Silverback (pictured above) will be featured in the game. For VOTOMS fans this may look a bit familiar as it uses a fair few aesthetic and functional cues from the ATH-06-WP Diving Beetle, which was prominently featured in the Kummen story arc in the TV series. Even the scale of the Silverback is pretty close to the Diving Beetle too, though the former is closer to power armor as the pilot effectively wears the mecha really (rather than sit inside a defined cockpit). Gears of War 3 is set for an early April release next year.
Guess those guys liked Lost Planet, in addition to Votoms. Looks cool though!
I wonder if our new giant robot friend can take cover, or if he counts AS cover.
Can be deployed, and used as cover. When deployed, it can’t use it’s chainguns, it converts to rockets. Beast.
