Hi Steve, I think it’s very interesting that you chose SP2 for a theme. That’s not something you see many people do. I don’t think it was as popular as SP1, but I liked the colors... IMO a bit more military in appearance than SP1.

I like the shape of the dropship a lot. My only criticism is that the supports from the engines to the cockpit look a bit spindly. Perhaps you could add just a little to them to make them appear “stronger.”

The mecha are nice and chunky. They look purposeful. I like the feet.

Got any magnets? Your mecha look small enough that you might be able to support them with a single magnet. Plus it adds to the whooshability if you can just hold the ship over the mecha and the magnets grab. Bonus cool factor.
