| abstract | - I have another present for you. And no, its not the T-virus. A step by step guide for creating a Machina of your own. Betray this rules at your peril. 1.The Machina table: Use this table. {{Machina Character |name= |image= |homeworld= |birth= |death= |rank= |gender= |height= |weapons= |equipment= |vehicles= |eyes= |Frame= |era= |notable= |affiliation= }} 2. The Name. While all Machina have a normal name, like 'Pax Mako', they sometimes have a shorthand nickname. (BTW this is not added in the article title). This is primarily optional, but these are related to thier frame and personality. IE Pax 'Galva' Mako, so named for his galvanised frame, or Hurk 'Hunter-Killer' Kreigor, so named for his headhunting nature. They get this from family or friends, at any point in thier life, over their armour and personality. The main inspiration for this is transformers, feel free to use that or other inspiration for it. 3. The detailing: Machina lifespans are not to dissimilar to our own, thier heights, weight and eyes vary from frame to frame. For frame, give a talk about their frame. 4.The frame: Frames are on one hand, a armoured suit, and on the other a moving weapons platform. Each one is custom made and contains intergrated weaponary. They contain fibre muscles to power the movments, thick armour of various kinds, a armoured brain case in their chest, a variety of scanners, optical and wave and intergrated weapons such as small sub machine guns in their arms, machine guns in thier shoulders, missile racks of rocket pods hidden on them or jet/jump packs for proppelling them at speed. Within the bounds of science and common sense, create your own. 5. Weapons: Every weapon is custom made by the users family and are customised to themselves. Their weapons are often larger calibre than UNSC equivlients, such as .50 rifles, 7.62mm SMGs, etc. They also have a penchant for close combat weapons, something made applicable by their sheer strength and speed, the axe being the most popular. Then there are siege guns. Seige guns are massive ordnance platforms, ranging from collections of autocannons to 90mm cannons, easily made applicable by their sheer strength. Examples are 76mm cannons with a pair of 20mm guns or a pair of 20mm rotary cannons. Also, their weaponary depend on who they mooch their tech off, Sangheili or UNSC. 6. the lineages: Feel free to make your own up, as this usually decides their equipment and frames but, if you feel too lazy to make your own, use an existing one.
