he isn't very fast or weak. this is a 30ft tall machine of war.

The legs are too thin and long making him appear top heavy.

small in the TA and in my mod :) yep in the real world if we have this destroying metal yes not too small week or very fast.

why i say ,infantry or scout this mech/kbot is good againt (in my mod) versus small panzers/ small medium armoured vehicle ,hovecraft.and also week robots
Cheap, fast manufacture so u have lots of AK,and u can use for scout,or first losing meat/metal .
But , you guys set to me sy thinking. , and i mybe modifi the model.

Having so may polys on one of the cheapest and most common (spammy) units is potentially harmful to your computer and /or your health.

Freaky-long-legged units can look cool. For example, the Locust, from Battletech:

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT MODEL!

just, umm.. it kinda, "kinda" looks like the cylinders are a bit deprived to only be 5 sided, and smoothed...

but the CENTER OF GRAVITY on that unit is actually slightly in front of his toes when standing, and slightly behind when turned, meaning, when it rotates it torso to shoot, it "should" step one leg backwards to prop itself, and if its standing (resting) it should "lean" backwards slightly...

but to be moving and fighting like an AK SHOULD, the machine is perfectly fine!

and the armor on the AK is around the processing core on the torso, and around the weapons on the arms, its always been that way...

the AK is supposed to be fast, light armor and long legs = fast.

quit giving this guy a hard time!

I do gotta say though, that the texture is fail. You know this though

but if you can give it some spring and bounce in its run animation, WE HAVE A WINNER!

Yes, i dont want make trash unit. but in my mod i made it a rule.
every tech level 1 standart kbot is more than 1000 polis but les 1100 without trash.
i think very importan what i do see in the game.

Sure, smoothed and 5 side cylinders if are u talking about the weapon barrel.i have some free polis but i need see the fully animated unit in the game know how and where i need modifi.

The main thing wrong with it is the centre of mass and the placement of the feet, that combine to make it look like it should topple over backwards
