Thanks! Glad you liked it!

Maybe I'll make some other new mechs soon enough. Or, I could modify this one a bit more.

Yeah, poor kitteh... Don't worry, the kitteh survived the attack. I'm glad to hear you like my bot. Maybe I'll build another one....

Sorry I have been inactive for the last few months. But it's great to hear you have a mod for this. Would you please show me a picture?

How do you put the machine guns on the  main frame ??
TigerNod (author) in reply to dommyApr 24, 2010. 6:59 AM
Connect the two white rods in picture 2 with the body in  picure 1, and you have the same thing as in picture 3. The final picture also whows very clearly where the machine guns need to be.

DJ Radio says: Feb 22, 2010. 1:22 PM
Was this based off an old lego set they had a few years ago of the same name?
TigerNod (author) in reply to DJ RadioFeb 23, 2010. 6:46 AM

Umm... Yes. Originally, I wanted to call it "Titan", but since there already were so much things called Titan, I replaced it with "Grand Titan". I don't have much creativity when it comes to making names for knex models.
