Hi guys. This is my first mecha and first post. I've been a fan of mecha since
I was a kid and have enjoyed looking at everyone's creations for years. I
figured I'd give it a go myself.
Pics can be found here.

These guys were designed for the narrow confines of combat in urban
environments. As a result the designers opted to arm them with pulse carbines
as opposed to rifles and a detacheable force blade for cutting through obstacles
and enemy armor. They are also outfitted with a small arm shield for added
defense.
I am also working on a detacheable fast pak that can be added to the rear. In
one of the pictures you can notice where I have attached the force blade to one
of the contact points.
I had fun with this project and hope to continue with this theme. Comments n
stuff are most welcome.
P.S. Keith, now that I've posted can you call off the hit squad?
