Yes waiter I'll have the big ol' mecha a la Metal Gear with a side of lots of missles. <waiter> coming right up sir! and then BAM this mecha comes trotting on out. Very nice.

Hi, I'm Mark and I have been trying to build a mecha. Somehow my try doesn't look right. So I put my question to you Mecha-Experts. Are there any specific aspects that a Mecha should have? I mean, the 6949 Robo-Guardian and the four Roboforce models (...) (23 years ago, 8-Aug-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
