    What is that mysterious green thing? —Adrian Drake
   Here's a sneak preview of my very first mecha. It's currently named Green Goblin, but we'll see if that name sticks. I don't particularly think he looks like a goblin. Fully poseable, lots of joints, no weaponry yet. I'll likely have a little more (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     Ouch! That's so cool it hurts! ;-) Finally a real life green mecha, can't wait to see the rest (and with weapons)! (...) looks (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

      (...) Maybe if you gave him some li'l pumpkins to throw. (...) Looks cool. Now you just need to give him some big ol' weapons. :^D ~Mark (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

      (...) Hrm, an array of orange missiles...that idea has some bizarre comedic merit :) (...) then, (...) I'm working on it.

     (...) Or a bat glider to stand and fly on. And a stocking hat with a very long top/tail. And big ears. (...) Looks very cool. More organic than most mech. Or have I just not been paying attention. Steve (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     (...) looks (...) I don't like it. I don't like it one bit. Well, more accurately, I don't like the prospect of facing it in battle. I better keep working. It looks cool. Later, Gino A... (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: What is that mysterious green thing? —Adrian Drake
     (...) Don't worry Gino, I doubt I'll be fielding this guy in a game of brikwars. He's just too big, and would likely cost way too much in CP. After all, he is something like 15 inches tall (I haven't fully measured him yet, though) about as tall as (...) (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

      (...) In gundam terms, they're called "Beam Swords". This leads to all kinds of things like "Beam Sheilds" and "Beam Javelins" as well. eric (24 years ago, 16-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     (...) I'm working on a four-legged robot tank that would easily take him on. <evil grin> (...) I've had to go completely TL6 in order to have enough power to get my mechs standing on their own legs. Why is that unfortunate? Later, Gino A... (24 years ago, 17-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
    
         Re: What is that mysterious green thing? —Adrian Drake
     (...) is (...) Yeah, but how much will it cost? I wouldn't be surprised if it would kick the Goblin's ass. After all, I designed it to look cool, not necessarly to perform well in BrikWars. I'm hesitant to even cost him :) (...) would (...) Umm, I (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: What is that mysterious green thing? —Adrian Drake
   Because I'm a tease, I took another couple of pictures of the Goblin (as it's currently known.) This time it's outfitted with plenty of weapons. More pictures and details will be written up soon enough, but for now this will do. Plus it'll test out (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
   
        Re: What is that mysterious green thing? —Mladen Pejic
     Nice additions, but now that I look at it again, the torso looks way, way to huge for the limbs. And it's way to small above/near the pelvic area, giving it a funny He-Man action figure look. (...) webhosting (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     (...) it (...) I was afraid of that. I knew the torso was a little bit long and the legs a little bit short, but I'm not sure where to take stuff out. The waist thing, well, I'm entirely unsure how to widen it, because of the design of the lower (...) (24 years ago, 18-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
