Nice. Balanced, or is it a tripod?

Tripod. Even if I did manage to balance it, there would be now way too keep it from falling over at the slightest nudge.

Very Very cool; Nice use of wheels. How ever did you get them into the 'Feet'?

I will admit, I cheated a bit. I cut the tire and wrapped it around a 5 studded 1x1. But by god it looks badass!

Sweeet! I love the dynamic look. One can picture this thing racing over broken desert terrain, or a squadron of them in a running urban battle! The design seems balanced and seems simple-but-complex-looking. Gorgeous.

Thanks for the compliments! I'm looking forward to trying some other designs that use these wheels.

Another quality piece. I love your work. I may steal some of the designs when I get my Bricklink order sorted out.

Just one question, if it has double ranged weapons, doesn't it get +1d8 bonus dice?

The amount of physical barrels on the mech don't matter, it depends on how many systems you allocate to that weapon. Think of it as two barrels of the same shotgun.

Ah, righto I see. Makes sense as you've sacrificed some firepower for speed.

Really first class work on this one - even with the "cheat"

This is going to inspire me to try some wheels in my design!

Just came back to this thing and I still love it. Have to find some way to work it into a story...

How about a tutorial on how you made the wheels? I really would love to replicate that.

The wheels use the same technique as my Grand Nagas, which is outlined here.

Which only means you have to put him back together and do a breakdown.
