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 game. Fun.

Ankle joints, looks it’s kind of awkward to see big honking legs with two skinny attachments to the ankle. You covered up everything else, I think you’d benefit from trying to disguise that too.

You built in an engine... I think I love you.

The body is so small to the legs. But it looks ok. you might fool with a bigger body and see where that takes you. Maybe start off by doing something different for the cockpit?

Way to go.
