The A-34 Grendel experimental hardsuit:
The A-34 experimental Hardsuit (or Grendel, as it is affectionately called)
is met with a variety of reactions, ranging from outright fear from tacticians
and those who have seen it in action and lived to tell, to ridicule and laughter from
those who have yet to taste it's searing flames, or it's ultra-sharp OTC.
Most of those who have never seen it will laugh at it, as it looks quite ridiculous,
right up until it saws their faces into tiny, crispy-fried, meaty chunks. It is however a
a machine to reckon with, as it has the armor of a light tank, and the speed of a
heavy cycle.

Nice, but I'd try adding foot rests, you don't want him looking like he's doing a levitating act.

The VoL rules, but this guy looks pretty vulnerable for someone put in a hardsuit.

I like the fact the visor is not the trans-yellow that comes with the suits in the atlantis boxes. Gives it an unhuman, uncaring look, it says the user will saw and flame his way through civilians without a second glance.

I'd like some controls in the minifigs hands instead of footrests. I'm very tempted to pick up an impulse tomorrow and se what can be done, if the impulse sets are available here already.

Nice work

No need for controls on thoses kind of suits!

But I must say that footsteps would make it even more appealing to me.
