RE: Infantry Walkers for Stargrunt - from Heavy Gear figs...

VOTOMS is another Japanese Anime with giant powersuit-types.  The series
was
mostly ground based units (although they had cool maneuver packs for
Zero-G).  The designs were classic 80's styling - blocky, with slightly
rounded corners and then large rounded parts for the joints and some of
the
heads.	Cool details include -treads attached to the outside of the foot
that dropped down and acted like motorized in-line skates for those high
speed chases across desert and inside giant landships; the tri-monocle
sights - the visual system only used one lens at a time, but had three
lens
for (I assume) normal, telescopic and IR; and the usual range of super
heavy
guns and rockets that you expect from anime.
