During the infamous Cold War the Soviet Union worked on many secret and unorthodox projects. These ranged from PSI wepon experiments, Man-Ape supersoldiers, mass hypnotism, weponized microwave devices, nuclear tanks, and jet-pack like recon vehicles. A large majority of the projects failed horribly, mostly because they were too outlandish to be practical. The Vulkivich Project was just one of these doomed projects. #NWSFC #wolves #wolf #mechs #scifi #robot #machine #mech

Woah, Larka! This mech is like a boss! Perhaps it and Effie the Kitebot should get together and have tea. .w.

Ah, to live through the Cold War again - the baseless terror and hilarious scare tactics. Wonderful creations here. Good luck in the contest! : )

(Continued) Three years after the end of WWII Dr. Kovoka Vulkivich began doing tests on life-support machines and organ-transplants. He came up with the bizzare idea to reverse the concept of living things piloting machines, and turn it into machines piloting organic bodies. He theorized that one could use a complex machine operated computer to animate and control lifeless bodies, his first test subjects being the bodies of stray dogs. Needless to say, the computer technology at the time was too primitive for his needs and the project was quickly shut down. Decades after the turn of the Twenty-First Century a new team of scientists resurrected the abandoned project, and set upon creating Vulkivich-based machines and units. Two such machines are pictured here, the Vulkivich-Runner (based on the body of a wolf) and the Vulkivich-Seeker (based on the body of some sort of weird lab grown creature). These are used mostly as sentries and scouts, being much more adaptable and hardy then a regular metal-based machine or drone.
