BAYC Reveals HV-MTL Robot NFT Types

As of March 30th, Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) announced on social media the official release of their HV-MTL mecha type on their website. With eight categories of mechas available, let’s dive into what makes these digital assets unique and desirable among collectors.

What is HV-MTL?

HV-MTL stands for Heavy Metal and is a type of mecha. Mechas are bipedal robots, typically controlled by humans. In the context of digital art, mechas are part of the growing NFT (Non-fungible token) market, wherein each mecha is one of a kind, serves as a certificate of ownership, and can be bought, sold, and exchanged similarly to physical artwork like paintings or sculptures.

The Eight Categories of HV-MTL

As mentioned earlier, the HV-MTL mecha type comes in eight different categories: GLITCH, DYNAMIC, BIO, KNIGHT, CELESTIAL, REVER, HOLO, and LEGENDARY, only seven of which are currently publicly displayed:

GLITCH

The GLITCH category of mechas emphasizes a computerized, glitchy aesthetic that makes it seem as if the mecha is in a constant state of flux.

DYNAMIC

The DYNAMIC category features mechas with a sleek, modern appearance, emphasizing clean lines and efficient movement in their design.

BIO

BIO mechas have a decidedly organic look, inspired by flora and fauna.

KNIGHT

KNIGHT mechas have obvious medieval-inspired, Gothic design elements such as armor and weaponry.

CELESTIAL

CELESTIAL mechas draw inspiration from the cosmos, incorporating extraterrestrial colors and designs.

REVER

REVER mechas have a religious or spiritual theme, with designs inspired by divine beings or religious iconography.

HOLO

HOLO mechas incorporate holographic designs, giving a playful and futuristic look.

LEGENDARY

The LEGENDARY category is currently not publicly available. It is unclear when (or if) it will be released to the public.

Why are HV-MTL Mechas so Desirable?

The demand for HV-MTL mechas is driven by their rarity and unique design. Each mecha is one of a kind, and buyers must win a bid (given the challenging competition) or pay top dollar on the secondary market to get their hands on one. Additionally, the cultural cachet and exclusivity that owning an HV-MTL mecha represents to collectors fuels the demand.

Conclusion

The release of the HV-MTL mechas on BAYC’s official website has captured the attention of collectors worldwide. With their unique designs and rarity, these digital assets have become highly sought after. Whether it be for their beauty or investment potential, mecha collectors worldwide will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on BAYC’s website, eager to get their hands on these coveted NFTs.
