With this one, unlike my "Juggernaut" design, I left the hinges exposed for the
sake of lightness and used the Alpla Team socket bricks at the shoulders and
hips to achieve a slimmer build.

LMKWYT,
Todd

you and i think alike.  we both used the click hinges in our moc's.  i used the
alpha team hinges on almost everything except for the elbows.  i almost used the
new bley ones, but they would've clashed with the other bricks.  they seem to
fit well with yours. exposing the hinges not only makes the mecha lighter, but
adds to the posability, which you have aptly demonstrated.  the proportions of
your mecha are excellent.  it's bulky and slim in all the right places.  it does
seem to look less anime and more mechwarrior (it's not a bad thing, just an
observation).  even with a critical eye, i can't seem to find anything i don't
like about your moc--except that your pics seem a little dark (i've had trouble
photographing my moc as well).  great job.
