| These things are kind of goofy looking at the offset, but I really like the feel. In a similar way I didn't like the way of the ED-209 at first, these got a very viceral feel for me. They look like something straight out of a comic book or video (...) (19 years ago, 9-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Hey Mark, thanks for your feedback. (...) First I had the idea that a heavy mecha should have some escort. The next thought that came to my mind was "How small can a geared mech be?". So I gave it a try... (...) Did you think of something like this? (...) (19 years ago, 10-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) snip I have a hard time getting used to the idea that these are medium mechs, because they're bigger than any mech I've ever built. I like those monster chicken thighs, though. One suggestion, if you have the parts, I'd replace the 1X8 plates (...) (19 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Those legs are beefy! Massive! Super cool ankles! I like the modularity. The parts you used on the gun pods are very cool. These must be impressive in person due to the size and proportions. Thanks for sharring! e (19 years ago, 17-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Hello Kyle, looking at your mecha shows definetly that size doesn't matter! But as Mark stated in the Contest rules Drake is a small medium mech. (...) So do I. But they are that hard to build. Nevertheless they are worth it! (...) I'm sorry (...) (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) As Mark suggested I'm trying to redesign the too light ankle connection. Just to make them fit those massive legs. The modularity helps me in building. I can easily try new ideas... Thanks for your feedback (URL) Marco> (19 years ago, 18-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Thanks for the reply. I agree, the overall look is much more pleasing. I started thinking of making Drake a carrying platform for different types of weaponery. So I could refine it even more. We'll see (URL) Marco> (19 years ago, 8-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Thanks Kyle. I intended to give it a more solid look. The old single missile launcher looked a bit plug on top. I felt it was a disturbing part. Later <~2645 Marco> (19 years ago, 10-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Hey great rebuild, wow, I see the improvements. I like the top portion so much! The canopy and how it flips upwards is sooooo cool. The shapes you used work great. The ankles too I see how you built them up, looks really good. This is a cool Mech, (...) (19 years ago, 11-May-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
