okay so theres concept art for the fabrication machine...my theory went out the window because that metal arm its connected to is actual connected to a giant 3 leg contraption above from which it hangs down...i knew there was something like that going on because if you look in the 2nd trailer, when the tank shoots it in the face and it is knocked back...a large leg is lifted away from the left side of the screen, this is something i noticed a long time ago but never posted anything about...it has the same feet that are shown in the new pics and the inside of the main body is strangely hollow...so never mind my last theory

I, however, won't stop quoting my own until my ego is satisfied.

Also, in the kicker pic, notice that the legs of the tripod thing/walker are very similar to the three legs in the background of the shot with Doc Ock throwing off the cover...

The symbols on all the machines in the trailer imply that the massive thing the tripod legs are connected to is a machine as well, and one of collossal proportions, much like the walkers. Perhaps they are a team, with Ock being the smaller, more agile bot, and the walker being a massive lumbering engine of destruction. By comparison with the ragdolls, I gauge Ock to be at around a few feet in diameter of his central "body". This makes the walker in the other pic around forty feet high, assuming that it is the same thing in the background of the "cover" shot.

EDIT: Just watched in 1080p, the legs appear to belong to a gigantic three-legged walker (with an arm extending from its belly), it appears to be at least five times the size of ock, who we can compare with the size of 6 when it demolishes the bridge. It also appears to have flags with the symbol on it hanging from each leg, as 13 pointed out.

I think we have our main baddie.

EDIT2: Watched it yet AGAIN. The 'legs' in Ock's cover shot are moving as well.

EDIT3: Gave it another watch. By now I'm certain that they ripped dOck off of Star Wars' TIE defender.

All I can say is this, it is HUGE!

Poor tiny stickpunks (especially 5)

When you think about it, the fabrication machine can't be any bigger than a normal person right?

When I saw the Fabrication Machine throw the tank at the stitchpunks, my jaw dropped. IT IS HUGE!!!!
I fear for the stitchpunks.

Might be a tiny bit bigger. I never thought of its size before, other than it's huge to the main characters.

It's head is probably just a bit smaller than an average person.

[cantwait]

its huge...it dwarfs that bridge in the scene where its falling...and it throws a tank...witch was way smaller than it

[Jabberwocky]

It was bigger than the Walkers which are HUGE compared to humans.

[--[Evayo-∞-Infinity]--]

Well, you have to remember that it's mostly the legs that give Walkers their height...

[Jabberwocky]

True that, but still they and the fabricator are quite large.

And looking at this pic:


*voice rises to a squeak* He is frickin GIGANTIC! He's a freaking behemoth!

So I think he can detatch himself from the rest of that machinery. Either that or it can seriously stretch. I wonder how he gets around when/if he's detatched.....

[--[Evayo-∞-Infinity]--]

As far as I can determine from the trailers, the entire mechanism was never meant to travel, so it wouldn't be able to get anywhere with those giant legs (to me, they're more like arms), since they're pretty much attached to the ceiling.

[Jabberwocky]

Yes I was thinking something like that. I call them arms as well, they don't look like they're meant for standing on.

So he has to be able to detatch, how else could he chase the dolls the way we've seen him? But then, how does he get around?? I can not for the life of 5 figure out how he's getting around in the shots that we've seen him in. I guess I should look harder.
