Mostly it's the face and the feet - much more refined, less formulaic and
clunky. More delicate.

Oh, I am stepping in it here, but I'll go right ahead and say it: all, or most,
of your mecha are built in a single color, with generally the same set of
proportions, and vary mostly in minor details. seen one, seen 'em all? no, but
if you've seen one you have a good idea of what to expect. This model breaks
that mold, and I like that. I'm still waiting for you to try a different set of
proportions, and more complex colors, but it's a step in a direction I'd like to
see you move in.
And now, the betting pool starts on how you'll decide to take this.
