I don't think there's any copyright issues on having a robotic torso or legs. Leg-wise we do have the Cyborg parts and Praetorian Clockwork pieces that were announced as unlockable in Going Rogue.
It would help if characters could have a distinctively robotic torso though instead of a metal-covered texture, a unique model in itself.

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking. I had a more excited responce, but the scripting would not allow me to post it.
I like the idea. There is already a ton of precedence for robot Super-Heroes...I could also see it being popular with the AE writers.

I'd really like to see a proper skeletal chest option, ribcage and all. Something nice and transparent, dig? 
~union4lyfe~
I've wanted this ever since I saw the option for it in the Champions Online costume creator. Sexy Jay can definitely do better than his counterpart over there--in fact I bet he could make multiple options for this. SO. MUCH. WANT!
Seriously. /SIGNED.
Feel free to try out my AE mission arc, # 473452: Praetorian Redemption
@Valerika
More robot options /signed.
The new Praetorian clockwork bits are a godsend, but more 'finished' robot sets would be awesome. Skeletal robots would be nice, as would a full steampunk set, and suchnot.
But yes, please.

My IP is what? I think your magic hacker thingy may be on the fritz. Either that, or my ISP is routing through through the UK...

I would very much agree with the suggestion of robotic chests. I realise we have armoured costumes, but what we need is a more skeletal or truce-frame chest with lots of open air to demonstrate that this is not armour covering a body, but literally a ROBOTIC chest. The Praetorian Clockwork chest is a pretty good example, with a large section of its abdomen being open-air. Given that Jay delighted in explaining how we won't be getting certain pieces for our characters, I'm hesitant to suggest we'll be able to use the Praetorian Clockwork parts, but such a chest would be VERY welcome, even if it's not that exact one.|

As a slight note, what we have now is not robotic LEGS, but rather robotic FEET. There is no option currently to use robotic upper legs, and that, to me, is a disappointing. The Cyborg upper legs come close, but not quite. Off the top of my head, we could use skeletal robotic legs like what the Necris women had in UT2003, and we can work from there. Again, an open truce frame with wires wrapped around it would also be pretty cool. Just basically anything that doesn't look like it could hold a human thigh inside it.

Like Sam said, that's just the feet. Well, shins too, but from the knee up, it's the exact same options that normal legs have, and none of them look right with those blocky, mechanical feet - The leg options are all rounded and natural looking.

OK, that settles the question of whether they'll be player usable, but how much do you want to bet there will be some *** backwards, irritating cost to unlocking them? I'm thinking long TF or thousands of some kind of new merits or a kill badge for extremely rare creatures or some such.|

I could tell myself it will be, but that won't change the fact it's probably full of rusty nails, broken glass and Hepatitis.
I'm fully prepared to write a formal apology for assuming the worst if they end up being obtainable in a way I couldn't describe as about as much fun as pulling teeth (someone remind me), but I'm not in the slightest afraid I'll have to.

Correction: We don't have any good robot feet. The Monstrous feet only work if you are after digitgrade legs, and only one choice of colour and no texture. The robotic claws are likewise. My robotic Hero keeps getting mistaken for a guy in power armour, because so many people use Tech wired and suchnot.
And the majority of the large and banded feet are horrible. Absolutely fugly. They have club feet, for pity sake. Update needed much?

They certainly don't look robotic, and to be honest I DO wish we had more options of boots with a larger foot and ankle, rather than larger calves. Currently, only the Enforcer Heavy boots fill that role, and I'd love to see more do that. But as far as using them for boots... They are, in my opinion, significantly better than the Smooth boots, especially for armoured costumes that are supposed to be anything above the Grey Fox style cyberninja.

I'm onboard with the robotic thighs. The rest I can wing my way through with sliders and body types

I seriously agree with this.

Oh and--
Great minds:
think alike:
"Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them."
I like this idea as well. Has lot's of potential for heroes and uses.

Before my old system detonated I ran into another player who had a pretty snappy robot as well. I too ka few screenshoots but alas, I did not save them.It was steampunk based IIRC.
