That movie is one of the best movies that "nobody" has seen I don't know if it was the timing or what, but so few people I know have seen it and when they do, they love it. Go figure?

There is a few movies like that, I actually enjoyed it, but the Wife LOVES it. Heres some more work I did on the leg, just some refining, and work on the Knee joint.

That is really cool and BRAVE! I could never undertake such a venture, but yours is no mistake!

The leg almost looks like the jumping stilts you see street performers wearing. You should take a look at Ashley Woods' robots. They have a cool steampunk vibe to them.

That was kinda the idea, though I want a steampunk theme for this bot, I wanted to start with a Recon type, and later I can mod copies of it for other variants

That looks like the ARMY Mule.

It is, but Mule just seems so "offensive" for something that seems to work so well. A Steampunk, steam powered version, breathing fire out of a tender box mouth, that would be interesting.
