Spoiler

I gave up on this project to start working on my next project which is shown a little bit in the background. 
That's why the legs seem a little bit unfinished.. 
This mech is currently being torn apart for parts since i'm going to build something MASSIVE..

I am kinda saddened this has not got more attention.  I think it actually has quite a bit of potential.  Being mostly a Technic builder myself, although there are not many functions, the connections are fairly complex. 

 

Couple of questions..... why all the different colors?  It is not that the colors are a bad combo., there just does not seem to be much fluidity to them. 

Also, if it is finished what happened to the arms, hands, and feet?  I really like the torso, but it looks like you got bored and quit after the torso, shoulders, and legs.....

Thanks for the reply!

Yeah this whole thing started when my brother was making a technic based mech and sent me pictures. So i went off to build my own. 
I started by making the mechanisms for the torso and it turned out quite nice. It has lots of features but no actual functions. 

The colors are there only because my parts collection is not that big. I only have the bucket wheel excavator and a few parts that i've ordered from brickowl. 
Some times i just need to improvise and build even though i don't have the right colors. There were lots of compromises in this build just for that reason. 

It's "finished". I had the torso complete and started to figure out the shoulders, arms and legs.. But the build dragged on for a long time. The lack of parts started to show and i had no way to build efficient limbs for this mech. 
The build kept sitting and eventually i got bored. Had no money to order more parts (i have to order a limited amount of parts little by little per month.) Then came the idea for a yellow mech that's meant to be a service mech in deep space. 
And this build sat and went forgotten.. It's current state is: It's still sitting but slowly losing parts for other mocs. 

I'd be happy to share the leg mechanism if you're interested. If you need help to start building your own technic based mech (zero ball joints) I'll be happy to help. 
We need more technic based mechs out there. All the lego mechs are either system based or ball and socket based. This build proves that you CAN build a 100% technic based mech. Because the most complex mechanisms were build completely out of technic. And the yellow mech that i built is also proving this. 

You could actually make the legs motorized since the turn table leaves a space for an axle.
