Hmm... okeydokey... well first to answer Mladen's question "random on" is a
phrase I use a lot on my base website Pete's Page of Random, which basically
refers to keep being random and act random. So that's that....

Next I realize that the the mech is a bit off balance, and I might attempt
to shorten the arms because not so much the mech can't handle it (the pics
cleared that up) but it's very hard to stand him like that. The main purpose
of this dude was my first attempt at decent legs, I was putting too much
attention into the arms, but I probably should. And the cockpit, or the
torso, (think I should put a head on the top?) was actually meant to be
sealed, and to be very sturdy, the only part that snaps a part is the upper
glass piece.

Finally, I get the color scheme, I've figured what I might try to do is to
swap piece between different mechs to give each one their own specific color
scheme. I may have to take some mechs apart and put 'em together again and
so on, but the end result should be pretty good. And yes, I have not
destroyed a single one of my mechs so far, although I have changed a few by
upgrading and stuff, for the most part the main bodies are all still the
same. Just as a little side info, I'm working on a very small mecha, that'll
be my first attempt at the micro-fig size...... I've colored it with black
and grey, and ocasional highlights of yellow, should look good, although I'm
still perfecting it, becaue I'm unhappy with the current design... oh
well... back to work....

I totally agree here. Try building maybe one mech with a solid colour
scheme, see how you like it, post it and see what you think. If you like it,
then by all means keep building  with a solid theme.

Now about your mech, heck that was about your mech! anyway, All your mechs
have good ideas in them and good basic shape and that goes for this one as
well. The things on the back of the legs, I'm assuming that they are jump
jets, look quite neat and suit the rest off the mech very well

Well, I and many other people on LUGNET, do care somewhat for colour schemes.
Maybe in your next mecha you should try to stick to a specific colour scheme.

As far as the actual mecha goes, it nice. I don't really want to say anything
bad, but it could be a lot better. Sorry. Maybe you should try keeping
everything proportional; the right arm on this mecha is huge, it looks like the
mecha could barely move with it. The legs look are good, but the torso is
short, and kinda blocky. You really should allow more space for the arm joints
on the torso. Hope this is helpful.

BTW what does "random on" mean. Did you get this from some Saturday morning
cartoon? ;-)

Mladen Pejic, over and out!
