I did a serious double-take on the Toad.  I admit I wasn't too impressed
with it at first, but it just keeps looking cooler and cooler.  I'll

It does indeed capture a lot of the aspects of the Dreadnaught.  Are the arms
built on technic pin joints?  That would make swapping them out really, really
easy.  Hmmm.  More BrikWars fodder... it's getting to a point where I could
field a Space Marine army in BrikWars just from stealing cool stuff around the
web!  Land Speeder, Dreadnaught, Assault backpacks... I just need some
terminators now. :D
