Calling all Mech heads out there!

I just would like take a little poll here if you don't mind.

I've seen alot of cool stuff out there that you've all built but I'm just
curious as to what was the first mech/mecha that really got you "hooked".
And what inspires you today?

Just curious,
Jeff

Well Jeff, I have a bit of a story to tell...

When I first started going online regularly (when we got our computer), I
was just starting to get back into the brick.  And I searched for a "LEGO
Gundam," because I was hooked on Gundam Wing at the time too.  Anyways, I
netted this:

The first lego mecha (other than my own piddly attempts when I was a kid)
that I ever saw.  Back then I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.
Now, I still say it's amazing, but since I've been exposed to many other
building styles (namely Eric's, K's, Chris S.'s, Bryce's, and Jeff's), I
would say that this gundam is extremely purist (per the title) in nature.
Lots of studs going the same way.

And soon after that, I stumbled onto FBTB, and from there followed a link to
this thing called "LUGNET".  That was about 3 years ago.  Been here ever since.

BTW Jeff, I recently found out you work for Disney (animator?)

Yes it's true but try not to spread it around okay? :-P  I'm not actually an
animator, I do story and character design.

How cool is
that!  Every kid's dream come true. :-)

Yes it is cool!  I thank God every day that I don't have to put a tie and suit
on  and in addition, everyone here likes toys and video games like me!!  And a
few like lego too!

Jeff
