What if Uziel was tankier looking and got its oval torso back.

Heres a quick and dirty edit with free-form-deformation in 3DSmax to give some idea, without going to too much effort.

Side-by-side with the unmolested version (minus the angled legs)

(I gave the edited legs a bit of inward angle because the original had some)

Better? Worse? No strong opinion?

The lower stance makes it look like it needs to use the potty.... or it's cowering.... It's the knees being pointed inwards that give me that impression....

That being said, the Uziel was never known as a tanky unit, so I'm not sure having it look tankier is the right option... I think having it look nimble would be a better way to go about it.

Better, definitely. But you need to keep the volume.

Better.
Now give it a better animation like you did with the Daishi and Mad Cat mk2!

GIEF NAOW!

A squatter posture really makes it look more predatory and less... gangly.

I'd buy that for a dollar. Or twenty, even.

volume is easy. you can keep the dimensions, and then literally just scale up 1-2% if needed, but it's not much changed when I look at it to begin with.
