| | | | | 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 (...)

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)

| | | | | (...) 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, 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 (...)
