Wow, your Masakari ROCKS! The only visible problem is the fact that it is
almost TOO big. But hey, that's good, right? ;) Anyway, I forgot to say my
fave mech for combat is the Thor-Summoner by FAR. In MW3, you can strip all

would be more stable, but most of mine are to small to worry about.
One more Q: What is your dream mech to someday build? Mine would have to
be the Riflemman. He was my first mech ever, but he had no joints, was WAY
to small, and needed more detail. But he hooked me into this hobby.....
