Dan,

Gee, thanks a lot!  Now I have to go change myself...I wish you wouldn't sneak
up on us and dump "da bombs" like this on us!

Seriously though, half of it is the presentation, and your presentation rocks.
The other half is a killer mech!

I think the head is great...nice and clean.  It doesn't need to be more
greebled.

I think that the legs and torso are also really good.  Those legs look nice and
beefy.  What strikes me is the height of the legs relative to the supposed mass
and center of gravity of the assembly.  It looks very Star Wars from that point
of view, and if it were knocked over it would a) fall very hard or b) not be
able to get back up.  I would shorten the legs by a few studs overall.  That
would have balance between motion, balance and center of gravity.

The small guns are also kind of wimpy.

Thoughts?

Lastly, I really dig that lion symbol on the front.  Where did you get that?  I
dig the use of the red star wars suits and helmets.
