I get that with my mecha all the time, kids mostly.  Building legs which
mimic human legs leaves an empty space in there and I'd rather make use of
that space than waste it simply because of the humor stage many children seem
to get stuck at:)  Nice mecha as always Mladen.

Is it just me, or does this sound like thinly veiled condescension?

If you put a large phallic cannon between the legs of your mecha, you
shouldn't be surprised if people chuckle at it, regardless of their age.

But that's ok if you think I'm childish. I play with LEGO all the time,
after all. :^D
