Hi All,
Ive noticed that theres a distinct lack of jackbooted goons in the mecha
genre, so after taking delivery of a few black dino parts I set about
remedying the situation.
Actually I started with the legs, and they happened to turn out that way, so
I built the rest of the mecha to suit.
There was a moment when I thought about making it into an 3vil mecha, but
after building the head, it was EB all the way.
I even found a use for a couple of Galidor parts in this one.

Allister-
This thing is just cool. As e said, the whole thing just gels. I could picture
this with a handful of its brethren pitted against a PCS command post (similar
to a scene from DuckTales that plays in the intro. No, i havent been watching
;-). Upon first seeing it (and until reviewing the gallery today) I was under
the impression that this was a cyclops (oops) but Ive realized that the eye
is just hat decor and that this thing has such a grim, stone-like face. I think
some other fine details are the buttoned boots (kudos for old skool part
usage) and the jacket fittings. The legs have great form and I think the poses
are terrific. Now, speaking of 3vil bots...how about a battle versus this fella:

Okay, keep up the great work.
