I can't speak for anyone else here, but I for one would be perfectly satisfied if you just stuck a chair and a steering wheel right on top of what you have in that picture. A minifig with giant mech legs would still have a huge tactical advantage and would look hilarious.
Kicking, stomping, and dancing around a battlefield atop a pair of gigantic legs while still staying out of the enemy's weapon range would be priceless.
thank you for adding humor to this little debate Benny.
also is it or did Blitzen, distinguished Owner of the English Language get owned for once in her life?
dam sweet Blitzen, distinguished Owner of the English Language has been word buttplugged to "distinguished Owner of the English" cool

well thanks, but I was being completely serious about actually making those. If you don't invent titan-legs, I will.

I said "no" to drugs, but they just wouldn't listen...

you mean at the top? if so yes for guns they rock for joints they suck most of the time. what i did was make a new and extremely strong joint with two of them. That joint at the top was the focus of my meca but then i sort of failed with every thing besides the frame work and don't think i will do any more of the meca. The frame is extremely flexible and very strong i just don't have any ideas for armor and such.

theres two so ill post picture of both of them with some other stuff against my new backround for photos, damn i have a lot to take photos of,
1:the backround-its my idea of what part of a hanger in side the spear head might look like
2:space carts (personal transport used in the spear head)
3:the un-motorisd carts that the SCs pull
4:those two robots/micro-scale Mechs.
5:the spear-head, maybe,hmmm, NAH, i want something thats a secret thing (ok yer im still not happy with it, its just under armed)

Didn't Natalya show off a giant pair of mech legs before she started her AC? I'm pretty sure those were basically titan-legs.
