Wow!  I really like that a lot.  I can just picture a huge group of those,
after being dropped from space behind an enemy position and moving up
towards it!  Great job!

First up is a small mech from the MitsuDyne Corporation, model X40A.

The Ranger is a light recon vehicle designed for rapid deployment from
orbit to an unsecured LZ. The unit is folded into a compact ball and
installed in a TDS pod for atmospheric insertion. Moments before ground
contact, the unit will be released from the TDS and complete a
self-powered controlled descent while transforming to deployed mode.

It was challenging to build the desired detail and articulation (the
hip joint has two DOF) while reserving room for the weapons and support
gear given the rigid size constraints. The model is fairly fragile, but
the fold/deploy transformation is fully functional.
