God has defintely blessed you in terms of making mech/mecha. (I am one of
those who could care less about the whole mech/mecha finalities, I am just
interested in making a cool looking fighting machine with a bazillion
weapons.) Anyway, did you ever consider making creations from the Gundam
series or even Armored Core (which are basically the same thing since they
are created by the same people)? That would be a nice idea for your next
project (though the one with the green, round lower half and the red arms
that have a string of ball-like features on them would be a difficult one to
reproduce). Please give it some thought, Geordan and as for your most
recent creation, I am speechless except for the first sentence.
