(...) Yo, and it definitly looks like a Neumann-Mecha. And this is sooooo cool! I really like it. It's the best big one you built for a while. In Snowcat I saw you went a new way.

It looks Avian, but at the same time Saurian. For some reason, I think this mecha would look good with a dinosaur-like tail. You know, you can articulate a long tail with a dozen worm gears...
