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.

sweet mother of pearl! the prodigal son has returned! or rather, where have you been, you son-of-a-bipedal-mech? this creation is vintage mladen through and through. no studs, localized color scheme (which works, btw), a butt-load of ordinance. i REALLY like your joint ideas. i agree with you about the ball-and-joint thing--unless you use beau coup friction, it doesn’t work with the heavy mecha (and you must use it on heavy mecha due to its size). i am gonna have to steal these ideas (i’ll make sure i give you credit). now for the dislikes: i’m not too thrilled about the head. it looks too narrow and “random” for the body. try a little more width imho. also, you’ve done a much better job with hands in the past than the classic ones you use here. other than that, this mecha rocks! your weapons ideas are unmatched and i also really like the feet. welcome back, mladen!
