Actually, posability is limited to x- and y-axix movement. However, the
thing can pose in the following positions: crouching, jumping,
walking/running, Jump-Jetting, squishing cars. I especially like that last
one! i was going to make the legs a little more articulate, but I guess I
just ran out of time on that one...whoa, I just got an idea for that! brb...

Believe it or not, by some random chance I found the mech that inspired
mine--Shaun Sullivan's mini-mech
(http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=2059). He has a pic of the
cockpit open, but there's only 5 pics total. Oh, hey, look at that...I
guess my quad cannon was inspired by this also! Honest, I wasn't aware of
any similarities in the weapons!! Cool, huh?
The shield evolved from an idea for Brikwars--if a bulldozer blade is 4x a
BigShield (seigified troop equipment), what would 6x look like? It worked
out well, and other equipment can be mounted on that arm also. I didn't
have any cool-looking equipment made up for these pics, but maybe I'll have
something for next time.
I do have another mech, but it's not as good. I have it posted to my
website at: http://www.ozbricks.com/alliancefleet/sa/vulture.html
I plan to update my site soon, any many of my MOCs on brickshelf will appear
on my site. Yes, the little elves will magically move the file from
brickshelf to ozbricks...
