Auto Assault Battlemaster Items Preview

GameZone has posted a preview of the upcoming Battlemaster elite items that will be introduced in Auto Assault's second major update. Design director Dan Russet and lead systems designer Brian Booker provide some commentary on the new items, as well:
The Battlemaster line of items represents some of the most powerful items in the game and they look amazing too. It didn't take long to come up with the artistic look for the items. We quickly agreed that skulls, blades, and glowing red particle effects were perfect for what we were trying to accomplish. I mean, who wouldn't want glowing skulls and blades on their chassis? Scott Brown came up with the name (Battlemaster) during the same meeting, and it immediately stuck as the obvious choice to name the set of items.
