Can you elaborate on this a little? What kind of gears? How is it all put
together? That kind of thing.

Well put. I like the articulation that mecha need.

Okay questions: do the arms support themselves? (ie: can the gun stick out
straight?)
Are you "beefing up" the techinc axles? If so...how?
Is the armor integrated into the skeleton or "skinned" for lack of a better
word.
Is there any way to make the gears work with a motor?
How did you make the hip joints?
Any idea how much one of them weighs?
I have more questions but I'll stop. Suffice to say I am VERY impressed. I
would love to see one in real life. You wouldn't by any chance live in the Los
Angeles area? :-)
