The Story Behind Mecha Malphite

Designated M-2, the “Mecha Malphite” unit is a massive, bipedal fortress capable of turning into a planetary drill—making it the ultimate defensive option when faced with new and powerful kaiju. A single punch from its gauntlets can blow holes through thick titanium sheeting, and such attacks have felled countless monsters.

Whether you want to match your team's color scheme or just feel like switching things up, these variants have got you covered without changing any of the awesome features of the base skin.
