incredible creation! Please note the remainder of this comment is just ideas that I think would totally make this model pimpin. First of all, the arms could use a bit, but they look good enough. Maybe some wires, greebs, or hoses coming from the arms.

one last thing: I love the look, and personally I like this style over any other style of sci-fi, maybe even the COP's own style, but as admin for the Coalition of Planets, it's my duty to enforce our increasingly strict style code. I would love to see this as a successful COP mech, but it's not quite hard, grey COP right? I propose you write up a backstory for it as a mech captured after the annihilation of an advanced alien empire. The Coalition sought to take their mecha-suits to study and use as experimental elite infantry/tank killers. Just an idea for how it should fit into the COP universe without hurting our style code! personally, this gives it a richer background as well, and makes it seem more mysterious and in tune with it's design. Happy building! as for electro-magnetic shock-wave, I'd have to say no, but if using the above background story for your mech, it can be an uber advanced weapons system that the suit had when the COP captured it. Then its all cool with me!
