I don't feel right posting as a criticism, so I'll call this a "different approach".

Maybe the legs look to humanish? (<== new word) Get away from the knee joint and ankle joint and try something else maybe?

Just a thought, take it with a grain of salt.

Noobed and loving it!

Looking good RTillery.
I would watch the center of balance though, as right now it would probably fall backwards.

It kinda looks like for the left missle launcher's (facing me) bottom right missle might hit the cockpit and vice versa for the right missle launcher.

You could try having the legs bend the other way and perhaps build in a joint mechanism. If the feet were a bit bigger that might help with the balance.

Nice mech dude! I personally am a HUGE fan of mech designs and have done a few myself! Having said that here's my tips!
Make the upper legs shorter than the lower leg part and maybe even like Witchy said reverse the direction they bend! Also definately make the feet bigger this should definately help the balance look of it! Here's a visual to help clarify my ramblings! user added image

Again great mech idea!
