Well, they've both got good points.  The blue one is more modular - you can put

it together in a bunch of ways to make a couple of different mechs, or a flying

vehicle.  The red one basically looks like a mech no matter what you do to it.

On the other hand, the red one definitely has better articulation & posability.

The various 'arms' on the blue mech aither dangle down or are locked in place,
while the red one is far more posable in that regard.

I personally feel the red one is slightly better overall.

I found that the TRU near me is carrying ALL of the LoM sets (save the big one), and I today bought the red planet cruiser. I'm going back this weekend, and in the long run I only plan on buying 1 of the 2 $20 mechs in the series for a few reasons. (...) (26 years ago, 6-Dec-00, to lugnet.general)
