Adjust your monitor and you may see that. Wonderful!!! Thanks for the (...) (20 years ago, 6-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The 1x1 tooth plates give its face a quizzical expression. Critique IMHO: in these (...) (20 years ago, 5-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Maybe more epic like "Jason and the Argonauts"(?) that had the metal Colossus with the vulnerable hatch in his heel that when opened spewed out hot liquid, bringing down the metal giant.
