Needed to upgrade for this. Also, is anybody else getting some dope Bionicle nostalgia from the jackal? I would go crazy for archvillain's twist on the bionicle design concept

Scarab-themed something (be it mech, armor, or even just motif). Looking good!

I'd like to see robotic interpretations of Egyptian gods and minions. Ra, Bast, Set, Horus, Anubis, Thoth (Jehuty). Something akin to Hideo Kojima's "Zone of the Enders" franchise.

The image that springs to mind for me is jackal skirmishers: Robotic, lean, with an extra-long sniper rifle. A squad who can quickly move to a new covered position and set up a field of fire from there. I imagine them statted with good movement speed, good tolerance for moving through rough terrain, and a good long range gun. On the downside, I imagine them with poor durability if you catch them outside of cover, since they're so lean. And poor ability to punch through heavy armor, since their guns are so light. Perhaps one sculpt has an alternate weapon: An Anti-Materiel Rifle Heavy Rifle, suitable for shooting armored cars and the like.

Chariots, which I guess would just kinda look like standing podracers with a copilot shooting people. Egyptians thought male frogs were bad luck and female frogs were good luck. So maybe bipedal frog-shaped small robots, with the more lithe ones being like shield drones or medics and bulkier ones being the lowest tier soldier? Egyptian cops were a tribe of people who were granted citizenship in return for civic service and had attack baboons the way modern cops use dogs. So maybe alien law enforcement?
