The last good day in L. A..

By steamfox,
posted 19 years ago Traditional Artist

A Bolo MK XXIX timewarps into early Twenty first Century Los Angeles and the damages were passed off as being caused by a massive local Earthquake. The Bolo couldn't stop in time and ended up rolling off the coast of Santa Monica and into the Pacific Ocean, never to be seen again.

Oooh Bolo! Keith Laumer!

Let's see Mark 24, that's one of the first truly self-aware models that were given more autonomy in non-combat situations. Main gun was a 90cm Hellbore. Secondary armament was identical to the older Mark 23....

Fan? Yes...yes I am.

...in a related story, a distress call from someone named "Aquaman" was received. Though garbled, the words "Atlantis" and "Flat as a mackeral" were made out...

Do a google on 'Bolo' and 'Keith Laumer' and prepare to find some really amazing cybertank stories.

Later mark Bolos can fly, and IIRC, some are not actually physically attached to their treads.

Google 'Bolo' and 'Keith Laumer'. It's basically an AI supertank with insanely dense armor and plasma weaponry.

Most impressive..! The image reminds me of the early concepts of the WWII scene in Heavy Metal when it was merely ink and line art. I love it..!

Hey Zjonni. I'm glad to see you know your Bolos. Thanks for your help by the way. I had to explain this image to a couple other artists.

I hate to miss an opportunity to point people at such entertaining stories.

Awesome bolo! But wait, doesn't the earthmoving blade on the front mean it was converted to "agricultural" use?

Bolo's also were based off of famous people too, were they not? ive only read a few stories, mainly short ones, no real long stories.

Nice work on the Bolo, though I can't recall if you had the number of Hellbore turrets right; I recall the XXIV better than the XXIX.

I love Laumers 'Bolo' stories, and yours fit my mind picture damn well. I always wanted one...

Maybe this would be a good excuse for me to draw more "Bolos."

Oh, please do! The concept of an armored vehicle that can think for itself is a goldmine of cautionary tales and jokes...as Mr. Laumer proved.

Think of the trouble 'Muse' could get into...

...ooh, on the other hand.
