That's just a guess on my part. It does look cool there. Thanks Dave! Yes, those are wheels! They actually prevent the legs from sliding to the sides, but their "real" purpose is to help the mecha navigate through tight urban areas. I also imagine they would increase the land speed too, even more so when coupled with the thruster pack. That idea is really quite old, I saw it first on VOTOMS mecha (never seen the anime, only pics off the 'net). The only VOTOMS link I can find: http://www.ex.org/1.5/29-votoms.html The Mecha Domain used to have a ton of VOTOMS pics, but not any more (shut down).
