Although it was meant more for transformers, do you think my "Switch hand with weapon" tutorial from "legoformers help & ideas group" would fit here too?

this should be more mech related - that tut would be good for my legoformers help and ideas group - as i think you already posted it there right?

playing with some techniques - you'll get ol V eventually

Maybe some of these techniques can offer some inspiration on that giant operational Voltron that we've all been waiting for Mr. Roach ;)

"Pick" (brickunion758)

Well I found that nematic T's cans be used for exelent elbow/ knee joints, and seen on my M1-K3, and the recently finished M1-K3-2

I also found that when building a piloted bot, it works well to make the stomach section the cockpit, and use the chest up as a lid over the cabin. I use the spine of the mech as the point of rotation for the upper body.

Unfortunately, I do not, even though I have tried several things. Not a happy chocobo...

In other news, I am working on my Mobile Core units, which I invite everyone to check out and let me know what you think!
