The hip joints are neat.

Thanks Brian!

  
The neck seems like a weak point that my eyes are drawn to, like it needs an armored collar, considering the rest of the body looks so heavily armored.

Yeah, I was debating that with myself before taking the pics. I had a solution to add some mass to it, but in the end I just scrapped it. Sometimes I’m just more concerned with clean design. But good point nonetheless.

  
Visual sensors generally require sun visors.

Geez, your mind is always fired eh? I mean, only you would make that kind of suggestion. I’ll make sure to implement sun visors on future models.

  
Some of those shoulder launchers look like they would shoot candy, maybe Pez or Mentos. Of course, exploding candy. ;-)

I really want to add more colour to my MOCs, but I guess I overdid it this time. LOL. I think the worst offenders are those long range missile tubes with orange covers. :-P

  
I think the pilot seat is leather. I can almost smell it when the hatch opens.

Yep, that’s correct.

  
I like the space thrusters. Where are the hydrazine tanks?

Damn, caught me again. I wanted a lighter pack this time around. Still, I do regret not putting fuel tanks on the booms.

  
The wheels don’t look quite big enough for a Segway sort of propulsion. Maybe a third wheel between the toes is necessary.

Hmmm, that does make sense, especially in the real world, but doesn’t look as cool to me as the VOTOMS-style rear wheels. On the other hand, I think caterpillar treads would look just as cool, and be more realistic (then again we are talking about giant robots). :-D

Thanks for the reply Brian, it was enlightening as always.
