I had originally made this in a thread about someone wanting to redesign the VANU MAX but I thought it might go well as it's own improvement thread.
I think the design is fine, however it's the awkward upright stance that's giving it the gay crab feel. They have to edit that, I mean it's perched up so awkward that I always felt it was just an alpha/beta thing that they haven't been able to give it a proper animation set.
Here I've uploaded a photoshop edit of the stance to give you an idea of what i'm talking about. It definitely has great potential. Just needs the final wax and polish to get it looking shiney.

EDIT: Some have asked me and yes, I have also edited the visor to look like there is some sort of HUD in there. Also made some of the armor parts illuminate.
