I was thinking of a robot design something like this... I left it ultra sketchy because it's late and it leaves some to your imagination. I'll have better images up as I start modelling parts, but this is the basic look.

Quick update before I'm off for the day. Still lots of tweaking and modifying to do. About 1188 tri's... that'll come down a fair bit later.
