(...) Kyle, This is a great Mech! I really like the compactness of it. It just has a look of sturdiness and that translates to power. Good job. I really liked the rounded missile bins. I think that is quite inovative to use half a cylinder. It may (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Some parts are faster than their weight or visa versa. Here is the new (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
