The mech-inspired bit does suggest that T-Hex may not ultimately be outfitted with an arsenal of weaponry and sent into battle in a Mech Warfare competition. Sadface.

Now all we need to do is increase the size say 20 fold and then we’ve got something.

Zenta does a lot of cool hexapods. High quality work. He should make a book or maybe he’s got a website with hints and tips.
