Kantus Variant 1 looks more like MP Berserker variant. And the bottom left locust looks like a Savage Sniper variant.

week 7 update 4/26/12

Here's another new Locust type I created, which I like to call the Theron Duelist.
I remember seeing early videos of beast mode before gears 3 came out that showed an armor kantus dual-wielding boltok pistols, and thought it might be cool to elaborate and make a class of soldier along those lines. I imagined the Duelists to be a specialized class of Theron, perhaps slimmer in build than their torque-bow/cleaver wielding cousins. Their speed and dead-eye precision with boltoks makes them formidable opponents, a much faster enemy than the COG are used to seeing. Design-wise he was a lot of fun to come up with, especially the baggy armored leather pants, inspired by ratty ronin outfits from old Kurosawa movies.

The semester's about to end, so things are getting pretty hectic, but I'll keep adding more designs soon!
