Nice finger... claw... things. Ok, I still think you aren’t quite clear on the purpose of the thumb and its required range of movement to serve that purpose. You’re going to have to try to assemble your next robot without using your thumbs, as a practical lesson.;-)

I really like the angled heel on the foot, much more technically interesting than a monolithic flat foot.

The pneumatic neck probably has a nice smooth action, hissssssss.

The head has your trademark funky insectobot SNOT technique, plus a smattering of wedge plates, testing the waters with this new part. You’ll grow to like these more and more.

I dig the hip joints. The way they angle upwards makes the Beeesh seem ready to spring into Beeeshly action.

The weak point in the design is the chest. You seem to always use the stacked brick technique for chest architecture. You sculpt it with slopes and such and often make interesting shapes but still you could do more exciting things with SNOT. Stacking is fine for internal structure, but I like it better when it’s covered by a SNOT facade. All the appendages are naturally SNOTish since the joints force the surfaces in all directions.
