Hello All, This is a MOC I did a few months ago while working at the Lego Outlet in Atlanta (for a short time). I started out with a few sets with the intention of seeing what I could come up with. The main idea was to try and understand what it was (...) (22 years ago, 28-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic.bionicle)

Thanks for pointing these bad boys out to us! I actually saw them the other day on Brickshelf, but it's nice to see Mr. Sanchez get some wider exposure. I wonder if he's familiar with Masamune Shirow? Some of the designs are eerily similar. (22 years ago, 27-Jan-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)
