Actually, some of them do...the ones in the Time Twisters sets had legs,
as do the ones from the DACTA Castle set. There's not much *point* in

- that leaves out things like Dr. Cornelius' steam mech, which uses brown
mf legs for its hands - but it also leaves out the battle droids and R2,
while leaving in skeletons.
Saying "a mf is anything that represents a character" would result in
Sebulba being a mf, though, and I'm not happy with that definition.

It is tempting for me to say that what draws the line for me is legs and (...) (25 years ago, 10-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)
