I've hopped on the Olive Green bandwagon.

This could easily be a Star Wars droid army unit, it's got that aesthetic.

I have to get me some olive...

I never though of it that way.

I have to get me some olive...

It's addictive.

Looks like a vulture droid with a big cannon mounted on it....

I can kinda see that.

Mounting the gun on a 2x2 turntable plate( BrickLink #3680c02) to make a gun turret would make it more playable. However, if it was me - I'd replace the gun with glowing transparent neon eyes... nothing is better than a *staring* showdown. Extending the legs with 1x2 Hinge Plates (e.g. single/dual fingers on end Vertical, Peeron # 44301,44302) would give more variations in the mecha's body posture and hence make it more expressive...

It's pretty playable as it is, considering it's a game piece for Mobile Frame Zero.

So use these to give it toes?

And they can be pretty expressive on their own.

My bad. I didn't realize your MOC is a game piece for a game which would be a good reason to keep the mecha small and the parts count low.

That's okay. Unless you've known me for a while, you don't know that is what I generally build for.
