I can't get into the legs for some reason...I think it's because the reverse
knees make it look kinda like it's gonna fall.  Oh well, just not my
cup-o-tea, I guess.  I do like the actual construction of the leg pieces;
just not the knee.

Actually, out of the three mobile platforms that I have built this is the
stablest one. Even on slick surfaces it remains sturdy. Anyways, I like it, • and
chose the design due to its originality.

Yeah, I guess that does make sense..the weight's supported closer to the
center, yes?

No. The only reason why it stands is because of the fins.

Also, since the upper legs face straight out, it allow the missiles located in
each one of them to launch more easily.


Now that I see the functionality of it, it's starting to make good sense.
And the red fins do give it some flare.
