	(...) Dude, stop lying. I counted no more than 750,000 monkey arms. And you're still about 200,000 fig parts short of 1 million. I counted. You're just showing off, liar. Seriously though, coooooool I like that head piece. Fits your style nicely. (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

	(...) Dude, you've got the fever. the Mecha Fever. And frankly, I don't think you should be cured, for if you were, we would never see creations such as this. I really liked the World City train head, and the light-up eyes. Not that Mecha design was (...) (20 years ago, 28-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha)

	Great Job Sir Eric. It's always great to see what you do with the good brick. (I wonder if anyone remembers who I am... well, time to disappear again). Oz (20 years ago, 29-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Ok the hips are a simple worm gear set up using technic triangle plates and worm gears paired to 24 tooth gears. 2x4 plates with technic holes secure them. See here: (URL) (...)
