I saw these last night and wow! you have been holding out on us! the
Bulldog, or as I called it the 'Blood'Dog because of all the blodd red
parts. The torso is great, I love the SNOT arround the cockpit area that as
the hose and such. (BTW where did you get that 1x1 tile with the blood red
logo thingy on it? I have seen Kotaro Ono using those alot and I can't
figure out where they come from.) The misle rack is always a must have, and
it look great at an angle. The legs are very industrial and to the point.
I love your straight forward, no frill designs with the gears showing. I
always am strangely reminded of the horrible movie Wild Wild West and that
giant spider. Except that was infant-industrial revolution. This is sorta a
new era of industrial when your stuff would take place. Post-apocalyptic
industrial! There we go!
Back to the legs, they are geared which is goooood. The feet I think should
be a bit larger vertically, add some bulk to the lower half.
The torso seems nice and greebled, but the arms are plain, reason? What
joints did you use for the 'elbow' to make it tilt?

Rock on! More blood red. I see a definate design style here...curves. The
canopy, arms, legs, feet, everything is smooth and curved. It's good to see
that someone tries to focus on one style per mech. Most have sharp angles
and curves, except this! Well done.

Are the hips an AT 2x2 double friction pin box with the click pin mount?
Sure looks like one! I am test that joint on my new mecha (out later this
week) in the shoulders. The head looks menacing with the eyes and the fake
teeth handlebars! Oh and who can argure with the tail!!?? That's what pulls
the mech together for me! Where did the tan come from? I sure wish they make
droid parts in more colors! Final nit-pick that thing is nearly studless! I
say add one more plate to the head, and you got a solid design!
