Hi gang, I present to you the TerranMech. I came about with a challenge to use the "useless" bionicle pieces. So after some trial and error, I came up with this: Deep Links: (URL) Moderation: (URL) ball joints work nice for pose-ability, but they (...) (22 years ago, 11-May-03, to lugnet.build)

(...) Neat looking ....um....craft! It has a nice bug-like look to it, and the useless Bionicle parts aren't so useless:)! I like how you decorated the Bionicle arms with the hinge plates-even now, I can't figure out why the arm parts have so few (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.build)

Jim, I really dig this mech. The legs, the front cannons, the bend in the main body are all well excecuted. The only thing I would change (not that you asked) would be the canopy. I don't get it when people make these super-armored walking death (...) (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.build)

The uber-cool vulcan guns make another appearance! Yay! They look even better on this model. The design is (IMHO) somewhat unrealistic, but it's the frickin' cool sort of unrealistic. Everything about it screams detail. Great work. Take care, Soren (22 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha)
