  I wonder if these are sets for 2003.  If so, I'm encouraged to see that
the Warriors: Future Force lives on, in the hope that this tiny mech
foreshadows additional releases still to come.  You're right about the leg
design, alas.

I love those canopies, even if they're proving tough to model in LDraw.  So
far I've only scored one in trans-black, so I look forward to adding these
to my horde.  Are the wings of the 9114 mirror slightly downsloped on a 1x8
brick-equivalent?  While I don't terribly mind the current large cones, I
think I'd prefer a straight-walled cone rather than this slight parabolic
design.

  I also hope that these grip-n-go or clip-n-carry or lock-n-lug or whatever
are a continuation of the previous lines, and I hope there are more small
but cool designs to follow.

Thanks for the images!
