biomimicry












Biomimicry. Or to be fair, it's more of a biomorphic design than anything. The biomimicry part is just the termite mound inspired cooling system.  So basically these are mining mechs who operate in a hive system so as to reduce human presence when mining on faraway planets. Unit Somnus L5 is the "queen" of the mech hive and is the only one who directly communicates with the human operators dispatched to said planet. Otherwise, the operators do interact with the other mechas when in need of serious repairs.  If said planet is too hostile for human living conditions, the operators are usually stationed nearby in a space kiosk or something.......

Related to the "cutaway" below hahaha.

Yeah. Was watching the SCII Heart of the Swarm trailer a wee bit too many times....
