>>11003483I think magnus works best when he's a mix of both, unless you want to engineer the core robot to turn into some spindly mess or even worse, have magnus be this stumpy and awkward creature that can barely move.
I can't speak for every magnus ever but I really like how Newage did it; where the legs get armor but the upper body scrunches up in a way that gives the torso more height and allows a big chunk of mangus chest to slide over and envelop it
