Who is Mek-Quake?

Mek-Quake is a massive, dim-witted but destructive war robot introduced in the pages of 2000 AD, serving as a brutish heavy-weapons machine whose love of demolition and simple-minded menace made him a memorable recurring threat in the Ro-Busters stories.

Bursting onto the pages of 2000 AD in 1978, Mek-Quake is a Bronze Age creation from the legendary British anthology that helped define the irreverent, hard-edged sci-fi comics scene across the Atlantic. Brought to life by T. B. Grover and M. McMahon, this Fleetway Publications fixture has proven remarkably enduring β€” racking up 128 catalogued appearances across four decades of 2000 AD mayhem, with three collector-significant key issues to their name. Mek-Quake keeps wild company in those pages, sharing adventures with the likes of Blackblood, Mongrol, Joe Pineapples, Deadlock, and Joe Dredd β€” a roster that speaks to the gloriously anarchic universe this character inhabits. If you're exploring the rich, distinctive world of British comics that shaped a generation of readers and creators, Mek-Quake is exactly the kind of enduring, offbeat figure worth tracking down.

Trivia

  • Mek-Quake's earliest function within the Ro-Busters rescue team was as a discipline enforcer, a role that cast him as a recurring internal threat rather than simply another brute on the roster.en.wikipedia.org
  • Mek-Quake weathered the Starlord-to-2000 AD merger that killed or reshaped many IPC/Fleetway features, and it's precisely that survival which carried him forward into the ABC Warriors mythos instead of vanishing alongside his original title.en.wikipedia.org
