I made the HULKBUSTER out of CLAY... but with a TWIST

It's collab time! I was asked by the ineffable ‪@Boylei‬ if I wanted to join him and some friends and make a Star Wars themed robot. Obviously, I said, "uh... very much yes".

[@kennyholmes5196]

Honestly, this feels like something that could fit *right* in in the Star Wars universe as a combat droid. After all, both Star Wars and the MCU have a kind of "technopunk" theme to them, and this hits that aspect in a very strong way.
