That's really cool.  I especially like the legs and all the stuff in the

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.
