Maschinen Krieger Graphics Vol.3 2006.1 - 2010.12

Maschinen Krieger Graphics Vol.3 by Kou Yokoyama. Maschinen Krieger (Ma.K ZBV3000) originally began as the science fiction series SF3D which ran as monthly installments in the Japanese hobby magazine Hobby Japan.
To develop the SF3D storyline, Kou Yokoyama collaborated with Kou Ichimura (story editor) and Kunitaka Imai (graphic designer).
The three creators drew visual inspiration from their combined interest in WWI and WWII armor and aircraft, the NASA Space Program and films such as Star Wars, Blade Runner and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.
Inspired by the Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) model builders who worked on the Star Wars vehicles and spacecraft, Kou Yokoyama built the original models from numerous kits including armor, aircraft, automobiles and several others.
The designs were predominantly of Powered Armor Suits, but Yokoyama also created two legged walking tanks, anti-gravity flying aircraft, and automated robot walkers.
Kou Ichimura and Kunitaka Imai added the graphic style and created the background story for the new models.
Together they created a unique series with a very different visual style from the typical "Giant Robot" series in Japan at the time.
The story is set 880 years in the future.
Events primarily take place between the years 2882 and 2886.
A nuclear World War in 2807 destroys most of Earth's population, and renders the planet uninhabitable.
About 50 years after the destruction, the Galactic Federation (details unknown) sent an investigative team to determine the condition of the planet.
They discover the planet has restored itself to a natural paradise and begin the process of sending colonists to populate Earth.
