I would use the last arm plate as a sort of hand guard and  have the hands
underneath them but have the fingures sticking out maybe from the last joint
on....

Nuts to the hands....maybe a HUGE battle axe and a killer pulse gun (like in
Eraser...). To tell me, what is it like being one of the POV masters?

great work and nice website.

    I was thinking about the same sort of thing. Like a continuation of the
arm shield into a sort of hollowed out curved cone, like a hypodermic needle
point with fingers underneath.

Me thinks the face needs work... Otherwise jealous...
I thought the "Beast Wars", "Beast Machines" were great and came nothing
close to power rangers... )=
I have followed "Mainframe" shows since i first saw "Reboot" A year ago... I
love the work that comes out from their team... I look forward to the return
of the "Beast Machines" episodes ( september in US ) and a feature film
"Gulivers Travels" to come to IMAX soon...?
My only grief w/ the Mainframe team is they have a habit of not finishing a
story...
i.e.. ReBoot, War Planets,,,

Nah, been done.  Nice, explosive thought, though.

I don't know. Never met one.

You are all very strange.  Inventive, but strange.  Hypodermic needles? *shiver*

Thanks for the suggestions.

No weapons as of yet, but the hands basically resemble the arms.
