The jointed feet really show the effectiveness of the concept:

They seem to have forced the ankle joint halfway up the calf, which is a little weird, from a humanoid standpoint, but works for a mech.

The waist and hips are a real worm gear tour de force.

Similar functionally to this from Mark, but yours looks cleaner and more compact/advanced:

The armament seems in contradiction to the exposed mechanical and detail bits - armed, but without armor to protect it.

And if you’re going with gears, go all the way - arms too. ;-)

The head with the wide spaced eyes (if they are eyes) makes me suspect it has a blindspot right in front of it.

The shape of this body (like all wide spaced bipeds) makes me think of a dinosaur (as in Zoids):

Nobody seems to build Lego mecha in this style. But I think it would be interesting to build a zoid-like dino. You’re half way there, with the legs and hips. You’ve developed great Technic technology. It just needs an exciting theme to propel it.
