Metal Warriors!
I will make a walking cycle. =D

IMO the robot is way to  large so it will be a huge pain in the butt to animate. you might want to reduce the size by maybe one half and you will be able to animate it much faster.

edit: almost done with mine it's a robodog! I still have to add in the tail and finish a few frames.

@FelipeFS I agree with Adcrusher, the image is way to big for making a good animation in a short time, perhaps a bit tinier?
@Adcrusher524 Nice work! I love how he steps with hes legs on the floor once by once :D, but way is his head facing up I think he would look better if his head would be facing forwards :D.
Here is my wip again made some updates.

Hi!
This is what I've done so far:
 
The main idea is that it's a very complicated walker, which uses the Aperture Science technology to move :P
 
I know It needs a lot of work, but it's nice to see it moving :)
