This hulking brute is a bit over 2 metres tall and he is specifically designed for physical work.

Wherever there is some kind of mechanical power needed (power plants, huge mining drills etc..), these guys are to be found working and sweating there. The way their kinetic power is transmitted to the machine is a huge circular track going around the machine with two rails running on the shoulder heigth of these beasts. The beasts trod around the track with their shoulder gears grinding against the rails which have fitting grooves for the gearheads. As they walk forward, their shoulder mechanism rotates the gears in the opposite direction.

The gears are powered by biochemical energy eg. food and nutrients which are automatically fed to his bloodstream from the unit on his back.

The back unit also feeds both of his hands with anesthesics to minimize the possibility of dangerous situations as well as purified, filtered air is fed to his lungs through his throat.

All of these fellows have varying, and often unique, kind of modifications since each of them are privately owned and then leased to the factories in need of power. This specific guy has got mechanically enhanced leg strenght and stamina, enabling him to work for extended perioids of time.

very stylish sketch. Idea is a little bit a cliche but that doesn't bother at all. It's working ;)

that man would look awesome in third dimension
