Hero Backstory:
Under the cover of "Operation Watch Tower." War Machine was the legion's second attempt to create a mechanical soldier (after the failure of chronos). Designed hand-in-hand by bombardier and engineer, and smithed by Blacksmith, War machine combines elements of all his fathers intentions. To smash, roll, and explode the hellbourne!Visual Description:
War Machine is a hulking humanoid-shaped construct. Trouncing about like a gorilla, fitting to his large forearms which dangle close to his feet. Four large 'angled' pieces of steel are lain across his arms and the back of his legs, which are what war machine uses for melee attacks. Between his dark plated armor, many pistons and twisting gears can be discerned, similar to 'Chronos.' On his back is a hulking cannon which appears to be a retrofitted observatory top.
Operation Watch Tower Description: War Machine 'goes down on all fours' The angled pieces of steel form the corner pieces of a Clockwork tower, while the cannon on his back forms the top.
