| Amazing! There is so much to say about this build. Where do I start? The Head: Wow, talk about grills! The shape of the back of the head is cool and you hinged the dishes for the eyes! I like it. Only a face a mother or Mecha builders would love! (...) (18 years ago, 10-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Though I have to be honest, there is something about the face which seems off - I think the eyes could be a little more forward facing. It is also really worth (...)

| (...) Hey, this is interesting - it caught my eye on Brickshelf. I imagine that, being "only" 19 inches tall and loaded with worm gears, this model is pretty stable.

It's really a great color scheme, with the light gray indicating mechanical function and the blue being primarily armor plating--very logical. I (...)
