Yeah, I like this robot, he's cool looking.
Also I like birds.

This looks a bit Bubblegum Crisis-esque though.

Hear me out for a moment.

What if

We motorize an Ostrich.

Looks pretty generic
It's nice but nothing really stands out about it other than maybe colouration
>>
>>13876018
>looks generic

what does that even mean in the context of 20000 gundam designs
>>
>>13875513
I really don't like this one. it's in an awkward spot between exosuit and piloted robot. also controlling it with joysticks instead of a keyboard doesn't fit the character concept.
>>
>>13876072
I mean if you can't see past gundam or lets be honest not seen anything else other than gundam, you're not really going to get it now are you

I hate it when they make feet as flat plates. It's not very good for walking.

>>13876018
Yeah, pretty much. It's pretty easy to say one has seen this fellow beforehand.

>>13876072
If you look at all of them side by side they're rather different. Compare say, the Alex to the Victory, or the F91 to the Ground Gundam.

I posted the Ottrich just a moment ago so have a Crab. On the other hand, are ski-boots really 'plates'?

To clarify on the "generic" thing, the thing about this fellow is that bowlegs are everywhere (these aren't even good chicken legs!), bevels are everywhere, and so too is the general layout of the guy. Not super interesting.

Maybe the AT-ST before the Ottrich is more of an ostrich? On the other hand the AT-ST doesn't run, is likened to a chicken, and the Ottrich is literally named after a goddamned ostrich.

Anon are you fucking retarded? You're supposed to have arches on your feet. Great job posting a picture of a medical condition that stopped you from being drafted to the vietnam war because it was so detrimental.

if you replace the heel-toe roll with a floating universal joint at the ankle there's no issue.
