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.

Well, I really thank you, as you are the only person on all of LUGNET who
too kthe time out of their day to give feedback on my mecha... ~Sigh~..
anyway the kneews are 6 x 8 plates, but I'm using them to sort of keep the
leg straight, because I'm using a big trap door plate for the knees (the
only thing I've considered fitting for the width of the leg) and that big
red plate brings it up so that the giant log pieces appear aligned with the
bottom of the leg.. Yeah.. I've seen that one of my main trademarks is the
physical smashing weapon, ranging from claws, to impaling poles, and other
smashing weapons, and it's always fun to have that unique bit on all of my
mecha... Anyway thanks again for giving me some feedback, I'll be soon
delivering this quad-leg mecha called Ramrock 3 which also has a giant
smashing arm, well it should be good... anyway... RANDOM ON!!!!
