I really like the leg design and gearing. Gears are like muscles for mecha. The
more gears, the more powerful the machine (appears to be). The spindly arms
could use a gear infusion to beef them up... But I know you haven’t made a lot
of armed robots (armed with limbs rather than big mech cannon). You are into leg
technology and it takes time to develop arm technology. But you certainly have
Sophie beat when it comes to thumbs. ;-)
As for the overall style, I like it but it’s hard to imagine what realistic
scenario would cause some corporation to fabricate such a piloted robot. It
looks like a backyard mechanic made it out of old robotic farm equipment in the
year 2070 to win a pumpkin chunking contest. But then this is “Horodris” and not
the “Chunkatron 3000” so it must have been built for more horrific purposes and
doesn’t fit into this scenario:
