Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K.), often abbreviated as Ma.K., is a popular science fiction intellectual property created by Japanese artist and sculptor Kow Yokoyama in the 1980s. Let's delve into the intriguing world of Ma.K.: Origins and Evolution:Originally known as SF3D, it began as a science fiction series published in the Japanese hobby magazine Hobby Japan from 1982 to 1985.Yokoyama collaborated with Hiroshi Ichimura (story editor) and Kunitaka Imai (graphic designer) to develop the storyline.Visual inspiration came from their combined interests in World War I and World War II armor and aircraft, the American space program, and iconic films like Star Wars, Blade Runner, and The Road Warrior.Yokoyama meticulously crafted the original models using various kits, including armor, aircraft, and automobiles. His focus shifted from powered armor suits to bipedal walking tanks and anti-gravity aircraft. Post-Apocalyptic Setting:The story unfolds after Nuclear World War IV in the year 2807, which devastates Earth and renders it uninhabitable.Fifty-two years later, a research team from the interstellar union called the Galactic Federation discovers that Earth's natural environment has restored itself.The Federation decides to repopulate the planet, attracting not only colonists but also criminals, military deserters, and lawless elements seeking refuge away from authorities.A few militias protect the colonists, but newcomers often overpower them.To prevent civil unrest, the Federation grants governing rights to the Strahl Democratic Republic (SDR) in the late 2870s. Ma.K. Aesthetics:The universe features a blend of futuristic technology, mecha, and post-apocalyptic aesthetics.Iconic designs include powered armor suits, bipedal walkers, and anti-gravity aircraft.The visual appeal lies in the fusion of mechanical functionality and battle-worn ruggedness. Legacy and Fanbase:Despite its original dispute over copyright, Maschinen Krieger ZbV3000 (Ma.K.) continues to have a devoted fanbase and cult status nearly 40 years after its inception.Fans appreciate the wild, future-punk imagery and Yokoyama's creative vision.
