Which of course is used for horribly slaying other mecha by whacking them
with a giant arm. Also I didn't have the correct photo equiptment at the
time (flash, giant white sheet, enclosed area, etc.) so I really wasn't able
to get good photos, but they're good enough so gaze and be amazed......
yay... and RANDOM ON!

Kinda hard to see but pretty cool.  I don't think I've seen anyone do the:
arm as a weapon, thing before.  it kinda gave me the feel of a MSM-07 Z'gok
from the opening sxcenes of Gundam 0080 (war in the
pocket)http://www.gundamproject.com/mecha/gundam_zgok.html

I would suggest re-working the knees tho.  the red (6 x 8?) plates seem too
big.  but I love the length of the legs compared to the torso it gives it a
weird kinda monstrous feel that fits with the massing of the model making it
look like something that would strike fear into the enemy.  "All around,
Swinger 3 is always ready to take the brunt and leade the charge of any
given attack . . ." I can definitlly see a group of these doing an, all out,
jump attack where they are suddeny on top of the enemy and tearing their
mecha to shreds with those arms.
