Hi, This is my first go at a mech of any size. I've done a couple of small ones to 'get the feel' and have been learning a lot from the masters in .mecha. This mech is designed as a general purpose machine useful in any situation from construction (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.space) !

That's a blast! The scaling of it is great...big hands, big feet (which totally rock BTW), big head. A lot of mecha seem to be tall and lithe...this guy bucks the trend and does it well! Very cool. The natural poses are hilarious....the shrug just (...) (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) mecha building, but I know it isn't easy to do that. The honkin' feet give it a solid look, and the oversized hands seem to fit it really well too. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Hey, Cool MOC! The proportions make it look sort of mecha-gorilla-ish to me, which makes it menacing. I love the hands and the articulation. The humorous poses made me grin. Bruce (22 years ago, 7-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Allister, I haven't built any mecha YET (and, boy, I want to!!!), but I know it's not that easy to build them able both to move like that and to express personality so easily. Plus, it's just darned cool-looking! This really looks like it could (...) (22 years ago, 8-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Oh man! I like this Exosuit very much! Positives: The Front canopy is used in a very cool way. I love the arms becaause they look beefy and match the way the feet are made to a degree. The feet are so cool. Those large black slope parts are very (...) (22 years ago, 9-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Thsi reminds me very much of the suit used in the old DBZ show or was it the movie? Oh I think it was the Red Ribbon Army mech. It had skinny limbs, huge hands, and a fat belly. First off, the hands make this mecha. They draw my eye on every pic. (...) (22 years ago, 10-Feb-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Jeesh, got to catch up... Not much I can add to this, but here's my two bricks worth anyway: Imagine this in yellow, be an awesome worker mech. Especially looking like a gorilla, it'd be great.
