I dunno. I've built several different ships using insectoid pieces -- and
my creations don't look insectoid in the least....


Besides, those darn Insectiod legs don't even bend at the knee!  If
they had been made with some amount of rotation (like, if they came
apart at the knee, and could be put back together at different
angles), they would be much more useful.  That would have redeemed
them, in my eyes.

Yes, I agree heartily here. Even better if they would interface nicely with
technic, for making walking robots...
