(...) Perhaps it's a giant bee hive. Though containing no giant bees, it scares the enemy with the implied threat of serious swelling and allergic reactions, particularly if the hive is disturbed.

(...) I also made a prototype with knee worm gears, but I wanted to find at least one effective use for the AT-AT knees (my previous uses were... ineffective). Total worms = 4 legs + 2 shoulders = 6 K (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

It may be difficult to see how that came to be this but I swear they are almost identical structurally. I still don't know what to do about that weird pod thing on the left arm.

(...) That ROCKS! The oil-cans-connected-to-the-elbow is so ingenious! The overall bot looks kinda like a mix of the 'Iron Giant' & 'Bender' from Futurama in a cool little package. Great job! Jeff (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

This is IML-01, known as Immel (in Asimovian tradition). He was built out of my Iron Mecha leftover parts and ideas. (URL) Let me know what you think! Derek (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!
