Coooool. Personally, I like the compactness of the Sauron, with the triple engine cluster. Reminds me of a Cylon Raider. Very nice. The Mandrill has some good solutions using the ThrowBots pieces. You could easily make an "armored" version as well. (...) (25 years ago, 28-Mar-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)
