(...) Hi there, Just got this set today (free with my 2nd 7700 set!) and was thinking how cool it would look "pimped" as you put it... I've not built anything new for ages, I might just see what I can make using this comp. as incentive! (19 years ago, 13-Feb-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

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)
