I like the use of plate skinning and the color scheme. Joint tech looks like a Bionicle/Throwbot hybrid. I thought about attaching the rear legs like that, then wondered how it would affect walking. But that setup may help it, like a grasshopper, (...) (19 years ago, 18-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Hello comrades. Here's a WIP of my Iron Mech, the HUA-5c Rock Lobster aka Thundersnatch. It is a heavy assualt hover mech.

Adrian, You rock! So far, this is my favorite colorscheme of any of the IM's built thus far. I'm now glad I didn't use it. ;) A transforming quadra-ped is a HUGE challenge.

Great articulation. Everything is wormed. It should be able to do some unusual poses that not even the one in the example picture could do, since its legs look like they just have the equivalent of a ball joint at the hip.
