... This is AWESOME!!! I love almost everything about this mecha!!! It's use of
wierd angles of bricks is downright awesome (I love the wedge plates on the
chest!) It looks sleek, but not so sleek that it couldn't be a grungy weapon of
war.

The head is basic, yet it looks 100% mech-ish
The torso has tons of detail, but not so much that would make it look too wierd.
The arms definately server their purpose, and the weapons are nice (A mecha
wielding a knife??YES!!!!!!)
The legs and feet also look very rough, yet not too boxy.

My one gripe is the lower to upper arm connection. For this mecha, it just looks
too weak and doesnt seem to flow. Perhaps you could change the upper arm design
to accomodate something more solid?

Nonetheless, Please make more mecha, because if they are anything like this one,
i am going to explode!
