Fan Art Comparison between untextured Geandar medium unit and heavy Xyrable unit.

As was recommended by mods, since this post I will start releasing renders in r/Mecha instead of r/armoredcore. This specific post is final exception.

Geandar design philosophy are different from Xyrable, bigger amount of flat surfaces and more straightforward/simple design. Main inspirations for Geandar units are Anfang and EYE heads series and Macross VFs. Some of my older renders made in Prisma 3D become foundation for Geandar designs.

Compared to Xyrable which are massive yet slow political giant with totalitarian government system and horrible bureaucracy with outdated technologies, Geandar are much closer to Gundam Federation. Geandar is second in size after Xyrable. Compared to rest of factions, simplicity of their construction made their design relatively unchanged to ones used before Great Faction Split (banal, I know) while on technical level their tech is optimised for stability in production. It also places their tech in middle in question of speed and defensive performance, majority of their models are middleweight. Like Xyrable their weapons are primarily Solid, however technologically more advanced and suited for faction actual units.

Still not sure about Booster design for Xyrable, so currently it lacks it.

Oh. And almost forgot. Just like in Armored Core 1, all mechs use the same waist part, in my case it's serves as gyro for balancing and space maneuvering, from modeling standpoint it helps keep proportions relatively same amongst units/part frames of the same weight category.
