Hi dude. I like how you were able to emulate and 1-up the Exo-Force look. Have you thought about adding a roll cage? I think that was a major flaw that Lego made, especially as an exo-loader. F (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hi Fradel, great military Mecha MOC. The color scheme and the bulkyness of the overall shape I like very much. The legs are my absolute favorite, followed by the body/double cockpit. Both are very inovative, IMO. Regarding the other Mecha shown on (...) (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Thank you all for your kind words regarding my nearly-studless mecha. You all understood what I was going for: techno-organic in an unusual colorscheme.
