I've been thinking for awhile that a mantis-like creation would fit in well with
my Vedraan Empire sub-theme of Silicon Psyche. Check out the "Deathstrider"
droid host unit-

Over the past few years, I've accumulated a lot of metallic Bionicle elements. I
thought it was about time to see what I could do with them. Check out this
centipede in my Miscellaneous section.It's 21 inches long and has 20 legs-

If only I had more red leg bits, it would be longer.
LMKWYT,
Todd

Great! I half expected it to transform into a vehicle and drive off the
first time I saw those tires! ;-)
Do you think you could build a version of it that actually would transform
from a robot mode to a vehicle-like mode?
I'm a big fan of anything that's a Transformer, it's rather hard to do
properly in LEGO, though it's definitely possible to do.

Thanks Eric- my motivations for building it were to make a droid host unit
roughly equal in stature to my Traikon mecha and to test the stiffness of those
rubberized socket joints. The hips were a bit weak, so I added tires underneath
the feet to keep the figure from doing the splits.
Later,
Todd

Hey Todd, this is really cool. It looks big and certainly uses lots of nice
parts! I also really like how it is a bigger version of one of your older
designs. Interesting way you made the feet, I also dig the quad arm set up.
I'd like to try that some time.
Good MOC, thanks for sharing!
