I'm trying to figure out what the tactical penis is for. Sure it's not big enough to fit the pilot's legs...

Looks like a Zone of the Ender's homage... or maybe its typical of Corregidorian humor?

Are you guys nuts? It's the coolest tag so far in Infinity, hands down.

I'm getting one. Good thing I have a birthday coming up!

I love the design, honestly, but I wish it wasn't so tall. Iggy's not the most resilient TAG, so I imagined he'd be smaller, considering how fragile he can be. I wasn't sure about the tail at first, but it grew on me; wish it gave him an additional CCW, but what can you do.

Some day he will learn to name files with some sense. In the meanwhile, let's remark those are Iguana TAG and it's Operator, so search engines can learn what is this about.

The crotch could be to store parts of the HI, like the legs.
If not worth saving, is it worth rewriting? What is more, was it worth writing?

The crotch looks too skinny for the HI legs...

Funny how the pilot has the shoulder pads with the design from the main pads of Gecko but the Iquana does not have those on the main model.

Also fluff-wise, Nomad tags are built from old and obsolete models, so them being as big but sub-par with the more "modern" TAGs is quite logical.

Looking at these, I can't figure why the Gecko mini would count as a TAG? It just looks like HI, ie armour rather than a 'suit' to get into.

On the Iggy, is the calf and forearm detail painted or sculpted on?
I know its canon, but really don't like the pilot arms having to drive the TAG arm position.

Finally, 'Tactical Penis'; great terminology :)

Except it's not the Gecko. It's the Iguana's pilot!

I'm happy to see the Iguana TAG, but not nearly as happy as he is to see us. :D

It's not a Tactical Penis, it's a Cock Pit.

Aha, my mistake.

Makes more sense now, but still not really a fan, too many inconsistencies between TAG and pilot.

Really? I mean, you can see where the front of the armor and the baby arms match up with the upper body. I'm not seeing the inconsistencies, beyond trying to figure out how the HMG falls apart and that ammo box gets onto him during an eject, but that's more just confusion.

And where his legs are, and his head(is there room behind that chest pieces?) and that the armour on his forearms looks different.

But I am not stopping others liking it if they wish

Oh, not trying to argue, just curious.

The forearms I'd like a better angle on, but it seems to me that Angel painted them a different color... for some reason. I think the head could fit, though Landmate style leg locations have always been wierd to me in general.

I honestly like his height. I guess to me they fit more in scale this way... *shrug*

I was just imagining he was a shorter, more Super-HI type suit, like a better version of the Gecko. Obviously this interpetation was wrong, but that was just the impression I was getting.
