djokson’s plague mech treehopper is exactly the sort of tiny terror that makes me want to check under the sofa for a whole robotic infestation. This little green gremlin has that unmistakable djokson energy: compact, spiky, slightly rude, and packed with parts doing jobs they absolutely were not hired for.
The treehopper silhouette is a wonderfully odd choice, with that big forward crest giving the mech a proper mutant-bug profile. I love how the antenna/headset/radar bits read as both insect feelers and sketchy battlefield hardware. It’s not just a bug, it’s a bug with comms, and that is bad news for everyone.
This one is part of a broader “plague mech swarm,” alongside a rhino beetle, bumblebee, weevil, orbweaver, grub, and katydid from a murderers’ row of builders. But djokson’s treehopper earns its perch by being delightfully weird, wonderfully green, and probably transmitting something contagious.
