Thanks John!  You nailed it with the notice of the oversized hips.  I found
I had to puff them out a bit to make up for the lack of upper appendages.
Some of the design is inspired from the Zetradi mechs of Robotech Macross,
smooshed together with Jamie Neufeld's mechbot of a few months back.

As for the sticky-out things...I owe it all to my best building partner -
the technic friction peg!  Eat those things up like candy.

Cheers,

Very cool, Gil.  The legs really work well with the cockpit- its hard to
make an armless mech that looks right.  The use of the dish and round brick
design for the hips also is nice.

You are the master of things that stick out!  You really did the back
missile rack and laser thing well.  Its hard to make things like that sturdy.

Nice job!

Greetings!

Presenting a.c.e.r.'s latest (and first) mobile armed platform.  Hopefully
the start of a trend, returning to this too long delayed line.
