Hello everybody, first time joining this challenge. Great works everywhere man, how inspiring and yet frightening at the same time. I hope i am not too late.
I'm gonna side the Machines. Basic storyline:

Resurrection of the Machines
Dead machines are everywhere... aftermath of the last war with the Norms. Defeated, in the mist of all the dead machines lying everywhere, the machines see opportunity for a rebirth of the race. Machines started to salvage the best spare parts of the dead and combine them into an army of heavy siege machine with cataclysmic proportion - The Apocalyptor. 30 ft tall titans that will determine the resurrection the machines.

Multiple dimensional tears caused some significant effects on the Machines as well. Cosmic energy from the tears mechanically evolved them to be able to control electronic particles, they use this advantage to create black holes as weapon, everything will be sucked into oblivion if the power is not controlled properly, including the machines, that will be the apocalyptic end of everything. Hence, the name - Apocalyptor.
I'll add to the story and ideas later on.

Some sketches to start with:

Loving the thumbs! The pose on D really does it for me.

Since they are made of different robots, maybe the different appendages could have slightly different feel to them.

Awesome!

Very stylish, i cant wait to see some more!

Did another bunch of sketches, this time explore more on hovering type machines, n trying more of junkbot approach cos the war machine is suppose to made of combination of different parts of dead machines. c/c welcome.

Hey tan, its me peter who did beastmaster.. Your character is really good and very complicated design. I don't know how you remember were all these lines go, lol.. ANyways, you need to speed up the progress bro. We only got like 2-3 weeks left in this and you gotta speed it up a little. I don't wanna rush ya but it does take a lot of time to finish these designs..If you need help or any suggestions let me know otherwise everything looks smooth right now.. keep it up man! Can't wait to see more...I should be completed in a couple of weeks or so.. shouldn't take me to long though, take care for now..

Thanks Peter, yea i do really need to speed things up...but cant really help it when there's job n personal matters caught in the middle. Right now my main problem is i still cant decide which design to go with,maybe my designs are a little too overkill with unnecessary complicated parts, still experimenting with other less intricate option though. Update coming soon shortly. Thanks for looking.

yo alienking. very nice work. my only comment is it seems to have so many heads so if that's your concept then you can ignore the rest of my rambling but if not i'd just focus on maybe one particular head like the one at the bottom that's most obvious for now. (it seems to have another head protruding underneath as well) also, i'd probably try to avoid the heart shaped mouth of that head at the bottom unless you mean to be ironic:)

Color mood study. Wanna create that epic moment when the machine finally defeated the norm warlord n grabbing him triumphantly in mid air about to blast him into oblivion. c/c welcome.

Playing around with vortex effects, looks kinda cool. Its creating a vortex of blackhole ready to suck the defeated enemy. c/c welcome.
