Hi All,

I’ve noticed that there’s a distinct lack of jackbooted goons in the mecha genre, so after taking delivery of a few black dino parts I set about remedying the situation.



Actually I started with the legs, and they happened to turn out that way, so I built the rest of the mecha to suit.

There was a moment when I thought about making it into an 3vil mecha, but after building the head, it was EB all the way.



I even found a use for a couple of Galidor parts in this one.

All comments are welcome.

Cheers,

Allister

(...) Hahaha. Beautifully comedic. The execution is very stylish. My only complaint is the lack of a bushy, waxed moustache. Soren (20 years ago, 19-Jul-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) It's been awhile since i posted on here but I just had to comment on your bot. Very Cool! You have become an expert. And I also have to ask what was the inspiration for using the dino bodies as shoulders and legs? :) (20 years ago, 1-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
