Some armor attaches via magnets.

Awesome feature!!!  I encountered the magnetic feature on the U.F.O.
Interstellar Starfighter but I never thought of  that as a way to attach
armor, Ingenious!

The whole mecha can kneel (I think it's a first for a model this size)
Stands about 32"
Fiber optics in the chest light up like a "spark" from Transformers.

You've got to see this feature up close, cause, I guess it's the only way
you'll see it because it's covered in armor. ;-) What if you had put the
fiber optics around her neck?  Then it could be a magic amulet for
protection or something like that.  Just an idea.

Inspiration:
Shooting Star from Five Star Stories.
Four arms like a Shiva.
Alien Queen type head.

This was supposed to be the first mecha able to cast magic due to vastly improved hand movements. I made little cards so it could cast spells like Digimon or Card Whatevers. I also made a skull necklace kinda Predator style. In the end both the cards and the necklace looked silly and didn't make the cut.

Nice choice.

So now she's the Cankerworm Huntress...or...Agiel of the Mord Sith Huntress of the Wyrm. I know lame name but hey you start going silly after hours and hours of building. Enjoy!

Too cool Bryce.  Large and spikey. I especially like how her waist is just a
Bionicle body.  How do you put all that weight on one piece of plastic? I
didn't get a chance to really check her out at in detail at Brickswest  so I
want to see more pics!  More detail and one without the armor please.

Bryce

I've posted pictures of my new mecha on Brickshelf. (URL) a quick run down for those who are curious. Some armor attaches via magnets.
