I dont think the acguy needs crazy articulation. It didn't really do any ninja or char kick moves in MSG 0079. Would be fucking hilarious if it did tho.
the mobile suit from the bad guy just make so much sense. why do robot need eyes, they need a camera. the gundam have eyes and the eyes are not even the camera.
Kinda, I think I was just disappointed that the hips were so basic, in a way that makes the knee articulation superfluous. I'll be honest it's been a while and I don't know exactly what I was thinking at the time.
