as you know, the TBR has a protruding plate on the back of it's leg joints, this served the purpose of being a joint shield. right now, they are tiny and laughable, and in reality the joints would shatter just from a mere AC2. request that they be visually modified? thank you

The OP is referring to the knee spurs on the back side of the knee joint.

They've been represented as being a variety of sizes, from virtually non-existant (MW2 cover art) to excessively long (MW4 blueprint art) & everything inbetween.







PGI's take on the knee spurs is more toward the "short" end of the spectrum.

they served a function, and that was protecting the joints. (to the best of my knowledge) i know it won't be possible to set them ourselves, but maybe make them a teeny bit bigger?

The spurs are more properly known as the "lower leg mainframe members".



Their purpose is not to "protect the joints" (in fact, having them be larger just makes the legs' hitboxes larger, which is the opposite of the "protect the joints" mentality); they are simply small extensions of the legs' structural members, left in place - and with lengths varying between renditions - for nothing more than the personal aesthetics of each iteration's designer.
