I really like the leg design and gearing. Gears are like muscles for mecha. The more gears, the more powerful the machine (appears to be). The spindly arms could use a gear infusion to beef them up... But I know you haven't made a lot of armed (...) (20 years ago, 26-Nov-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
