You rang?

His shin shells look like a completely new piece, though does have similarities to the HF piece on Jetbug.

Look closely.

Tahu’s is much wider and thickly armored. Jetbug’s HF piece has a large flame spike in the center.

I feel like since there’s no back armor in the legs but the limb piece is in trans orange it kinda turns into pseudo armor.

I really like that the new piece curves up towards the shell to cover it completely.

I don’t get why Tahu’s thigh is 1 unit longer than his shins, shouldn’t it be backwards? In fact, why not just shorten the length of his thigh piece by 1 unit and then put on a friction add on?

proportions with ccbs will always be off

the designers probably did that because the new piston add-on won’t be secured on the shorter version. Its construction needs at least two pins and the other technic parts it seems. Although, they should’ve made the lower leg longer by one.

If they wanted the proportions to be right than they should have to make tahu’s legs the size of vader and that would send the price through the roof

yeah, proportions

Ehh. I don’t really care about proportions being “right”. It’s a fantasy species! They do not have to follow our rules (Fire swords for crying out loud). If we can have those, we can have wonky proportions (puppet from FNAF).

that space is gone

and here is a small gap where the axel ends
