"Askar" Light Battlemech (Walking/Vanilla)

Description
After a some time of fiddling, i have finally created my first bipedal walker without thrusters or landing gears. Using 2 gyroscopes on override with 0 settings really helps with the stability. It has one button to start and stop (Toolbar 1), and is armed with 2 gatling guns that can be pointed straight forward or down.
It can deal with light hills, but it can tip there. Just counter with the gyroscopes and it should be no problem.

Lore:
The Askar battlemech was the first prototype mech created by the Union to combat the more insect like mechs of the Empire. The higher firing position gave them a advantage over the near ground walkers, making ambushes over hills or dunes easier without revealing too much of the walking chassis. It was also surprisingly sturdy and fast, considering it had only two legs.

Walking looks so funny but really cool because it actualy moves not at .5 miles per hour or what ever metric measurement you wanna use. nice job.

@Neraph Fear not! there will be a universal mech chassis with arms released Soon™

I've been trying to design a mech like this one for a very, very long time now. I've looked at countless other mechs (I say countless, but like a dozen) and attempted to engineer my own, but none of them were as compact as I was wanting.

This little guy absolutely smashes everything I knew about mechs. It is perfectly, exactly what I was attempting to do.

Well.... Almost. The only thing different I was attempting to do is instead of have one weaponized, build a chassis to outfit for a variety of roles. This mech fulfills that role despite that by simply removing the gatlings and one rotor and pasting in a drill bit, or a welder, or a grinder.

Freaking great work. I'm going to modify these directly for my own use. It'll be the first ship of someone else's work that I'll actually be using with any regularity.

The mech age is coming to Space Engineers! I really like how easy this is to use.
