Maschinen Krieger—Ma.K for short—is a retro-futurist sci-fi universe created by Japanese artist Kow Yokoyama. It blends gritty powered suits, unique walking tanks, and near-future warfare centered around Earth, the Moon, and the contested space between.

Instead of anime or movies, Ma.K tells its story through model kits, artwork, and creative builds. The universe has a rich canon—shaped by Yokoyama Sensei and expanded through decades of creative work—but it also leaves room for interpretation, inviting each modeler to explore their own visual storytelling.

It’s supported by a global community of builders bringing the world to life, one kit at a time.
