(...) I just noticed those detail this morning -- sometimes one has to read the images more than once to fully comprehend their import. In particular, the chin laser armament is brilliant. Great use of that element. And the toes -- just wonderful. (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) Yeah, the leg positioning wasn't great, I admit. Each leg is articulated at the hip, knee, and ankle, and the feet have articulated front "toes." I'm not thrilled with the rear leg either, but I cheated and just tweaked the left- and right- (...) (21 years ago, 13-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

(...) I really like this MOC, except for the third/hind leg. To me, it just looks like it's dragging. I think it makes me want to see the mech with a tail instead though. BTW, are the knees articulated or not? I couldn't quite tell from the images. (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

(...) I've always wondered about a 3 legged mech (sounds like the beginning of a joke), and this has provided an answers. Despite the treasonous medium (jk!), the design is great...very menacing. I wonder if the 'sprinting position' of the legs (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)

I'm sure not buying too much junk like Galidork or Bionickles (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)

All I have to say is... I don't believe mega-bloks will ever challenge the popularity of Lego in any serious way. Just buy one of the mega-bloks mech sets; I made that mistake a few years ago. The blocks don't stay together at all! I was so (...) (21 years ago, 12-Jun-03, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands, FTX)
