Thank you for the favorable reveiw, My next moc is going to be a minifig scale
Hammerhead. unfortunatly what most people dont realize is that a minifig scale
Hammerhead is huge. I think i calculated it to be liek 70 studs long. For
example, this awesome rendition by jason ellis is only half size:

Poor Jet, the bell pepers and Beef never has beef. The movie is awesome, but in
case you didn't know; The local Best Buy sells it for 20 dollars. At least out
here in kansas(which means unless you live in Wyoming, it shoud be the same for
you.)

I've never seen the animatrix, but on my next matrix creation i will make good
use of your suggestions...

The thumbs are stolen from Mladen Pejic. easy to make:
step one: get three levers
step two: take them all apart
step three: slip the first base over one of the rods rightside up and then take
it down to where the sphere at the top of the lever is
step four: inver a base and do the same thing on the same lever rod
step five: put a base on right side up
It fits perfectly.
Hope that explains it, if not take a look at Mladen's Wolf mecha. You should
anyways its awesome.
Evangelion is a cool series, if you appreciate thinking as much as you apreciate
anime I would recomend you watch an episode or two.
