Chris, this is one of your best mecha yet. The articulation, as always, is
nothing short of stellar (well, IMHO anyway). Design wise, I really love the
legs, spine, and shoulders. You even sneaked missiles into the hips; you're
finally adding built-in weaponry, yay! Oh, and most important of all... You
lost the SKIRT... Armour! Heh... ;-)


Thanks, Mladen!  I'm glad you like it.  This mecha doesn't have a skirt because
its thighs are so big, and because I've always admired your "skirt free"
designs!

I just can't wait to see the flight pack and the handheld weapon. Is the
flight pack going to be for atmospheric flight (with wing-like appendages) or
zero-g (like my recent one, with lots of thrusters)?

I'm not sure; Atmospheric flight would be cool, but we'll see.

BTW, I also like how you retain certain design elements from your previous
work (i.e. the head particularly, and the chest area). It helps people know
this is Snead mecha. :-D

Long explanation: this mecha is the newest design to come from the mecha
production facility on the near Earth asteroid Eros; as a result, it retains
some of it's original characteristics as distinguishing marks.

Short explanation:  I sometimes lack the capability to see past design ideas
from past mecha that I liked.

Thanks again!
Chris

Mladen Pejic, over and out!
