It’s been almost a year since I built my last
bipedal mecha! This time around
however, I have finally succeeded in creating a posable mecha without those
flimsy ball-joints. The result is surprising sturdy, and can accept a variety
of attachments. In the future, I will definitely take the joint ideas I used
for the “Centurion” and apply them onto larger mecha.
BTW the LDraw file for the “Prowler” was completed some time ago. Anyone that
is interested can find it here.
Enjoy.

Ahhh... I see you are using the plate hinges, presumably with a brick with a
technic hole + friction pin? I’m not a huge fan of those small ball joints,
either; but some kind of ball joint makes a good ankle joint. I’m also
dissatisfied with the multiaxis click-hinges; they are to big to be useful on
mecha that would be an appropriate size for them.
Anyway, it’s good to see a new biped from you. It looks nice, well balanced,
very much your style. I have to agree with Chris - the brown and red in those
proportions don’t work as well as, say, the brown, black and red color scheme in
your Dritver (oh, wait, that was tan, not brown...)
One thing that made me almost fall out of my seat was that you used minifig legs
as hands! I’ve seen you use different hand designs for almost all of your biped
mecha; you even gave me the design for my Eros hands - so it was surprising to
see you use this classic design. It works, though; it’s good to see a classic
return (but eric will give you crap for using it, I’m sure...)
Later,
Christopher
