I have put together an animation of this guy getting ready to move. since i have never seen him move i can do as i like and those "heel sticks" at the back seem there just to hold it up right when its standing still so they have to tuck up out of the way when he moves.

I did this now so i don't have to change the size of him when i'm rigging and taking steps backwards all of the time user added image

always one step head of the game

Looking good so far! I can't wait to see it when it's finished. Liking the animation, too. Are you going to animate the whole thing when it's done?

its nice of you to say Zeroalarm but every one hates the upperlegs so i remade them according to new referance images. and please comment even if its just "wow nice work!" nice comments make me work harder

and here is the animation of his upper leg moving. i dont think it can have any other motion other than that but if you think its needs something eles speak up
(btw i know its stretched user added image

i had the attribute edditor open when i did the playblast)
