My first ever WIP!
Ok, the idea for my Kampfer came to me last night while I was watching the Matrix Revolutions. I had been toying around with making my (soon to be ordered) Kampfer into a translation of the original word, meaning Fighter or Champion. I was going to do a knight style one, with Sandrock's swords put onto its back, a cape (Not sandrock's. A better one ^^) and weilding either the Grand Slam or a sword letter opener. Now, I was watching the Matrix Revolutions and saw the mechs all the guys were using...

I had also been playing around with a third idea of making a newtype Kampfer using the mines as Funnels. So, I thought to myself, why not do all three?! Being money strapped, I cannot possibly afford 3 Kampfers, what with college so close...so I decided that I would take care of the modification criteria by making my Kampfer able to use different weapon packs depending on the situation.
Basically, my plan is to put the shotgun's into holders on the shins, much like the Ballute Pack
http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m85/m85_14.jpgand be able to leave the back free for the pack to attach into the bazooka hardpoints, the shotgun rack, and other various points.
KNIGHT PACK
Basically, it's as I planned it out before. It's just going to be the shotguns placed into their holsters (this is a constant on each model) the heat shotels loaded into where the bazookas would normally go, over a cape (I may end up ditching this idea), and the Kampfer holding onto either the grand slam or another sword, placing it into the shotgun rack when in disuse.
GATLING PACK
Ok, my plan for this one is basically to take my H-Arm gatling guns and modify the guns to make them live ammo, and to make it so they'll actually fit onto the Kampfer's arms. Besides that, I'm thinking of a mod for the bazookas to basically act like the Guncannon's bazooka's, but I may ditch that depending on time and school.
NEWTYPE PACK
Ok, this is the big one. I'm going to take the mines from the whip, and purchase two of the mine holders, if possible, to place onto the Kampfers back via extended rods to hold the racks behind the Kampfer. I will probably add an extra layer to hold the mines in place, now that they aren't connected by a cable, and maybe anchor them in with glue, or perhaps a metal rod. I will include my extra God Gundam Beam saber to be used as the main weapon beside the funnels.
As far as a color scheme goes, I was thinking something similar to the original, except accented by hard points of yellow. I don't know how to use a program outside of paint for image editing, but I'd be willing to check it out to upload a custom color scheme.
(Sorry for the lack of In-prog images for my Kamp. I don't have him yet. Basically, I made the thread to discuss my ideas and make it open for suggestions.)
I'm open to all suggestions on any part of it!
