I think the vision block is one its better features. It kinda gives the
mecha a "Destroidish" feel. However, not counting the missile racks, which

looks like the shoulders are mounted halfway down the torso. I know its
supposed to have a semi-anthropoid form, but somehow I don't think that was
the effect you were going for. Pretty cool overall though.
