Check out my latest experiment with the new clicking ball and socket hinges, the "Spartan"- (URL) this one, unlike my "Juggernaut" design, I left the hinges exposed for the sake of lightness and used the Alpla Team socket bricks at the shoulders and (...)

Nice mech, Andrew! Ingenious name, by the way. I love the legs. They seem very sturdy, are they? The use of both new and old gray gives it a kind of 'been in a wreck but has been fixed' persona. Making me think it has survived many a battle, which (...) (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks, Erik. The ankles are a bit wobbly. (...) Its supported by two 2x1 tiles and stays in place easily. It looks odd how there is nothing under it. Also, since. (...) Yeah, the back of the head is somewhat boxy but the front looks ok, (...) (...) (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) The mix of bley and Classic Grey looks interesting, at least in the photos. He's really nicely proportioned too. Well done. Cheers, (URL) Sci-Fi LEGO> (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Thanks, Paul. Working with both light grays can be a royal pain at times but it does give it sort of a battle-worn feel to it. Later, Todd (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) you and i think alike. we both used the click hinges in our moc's. i used the alpha team hinges on almost everything except for the elbows. i almost used the new bley ones, but they would've clashed with the other bricks. they seem to fit well (...)

(...) Hey Todd, I like the overall chunkyness to this one. My favorite part though is the hands. They're simple and effective. I think I have hand envy. But seriously I think that Lego should put out a set like this one. I would buy it over the (...) (20 years ago, 7-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks, Jeff. I think I may have finally come up with a hand design on par with Karim Nassar's minifig-leg fist (Though his has a stronger grip) But seriously (...) P.S. The head design on your Orbital Boost Frame is just too sweeet! Smart use (...) (20 years ago, 8-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

I like the size Mecha these joints lend themselves too. Your "experiments" are fun to see and have a recognizble style. Nice work. I really like the colors. e (20 years ago, 11-Oct-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

(...) Thanks, Eric. The joints do somewhat allow for larger, more stable mecha creations. However, TLG could expand on the new joint systems potential by designing 3 or 4 more elements- such as a 4x4 plate with a click-pin on the bottom for a torso (...)
