^Click. Please go through all the pictures and read the descriptons and such.

For your information, this is my first mech I've built since this one (*cringe*) which was what, 4? 5 years ago?

Anyway, comments and c-c welcome!

Hey great Mech Dr. J. I love the bubble top! It looks like a really fancy mech for a more realistic type of environment.

:) More coolness from the J - Man!

LOL That old mech is so retarded. lmao@that

That old one's still better than the one I built when I was 8.

But mine transformed. Sorta.

(no, I don't have pics, sadly)

I love the dome! There is something really appealing about dome-topped robots with the pilot clearly inside. The only thing that struck me as odd was the right hand, the claws look a bit out of character for the rest of it, too pointy. I always like modular hookups, great use of parts on those!

What, you didn't like the rainbow colors and legs made of one piece? :P

Unfortunatley, I took pictures of everything I built when I was younger, no matter how terrible they were.

Yes, they are rather odd, but without them, the fingers looked kinda stubby.

Let's just say the claws are for tilling martian soil and picking up the precious jewels.

Thanks for the complments, guys! :)

Looks good. The only thing I don't like is the chest. The underside of the plates and slopes don't make it look as sleek as it otherwise would. The right hand looks very good, but I'm not sure it fits the style of rest of the creation.

Looks like a fun MOC :) I especially like the MM dome, makes it look like some kind of retro robot, except the colour scheme of course ;)
