Part/color limitations forced me to try something different for the "head" and after that I decided to swap the original arms with some sleeker and more straight forward gun mounts. I'm pretty pleased with the end result.

Over all, I found the legs and core to be really stable but the arm/shoulder connections are a bit fiddly and prone to come off. The pilot is an old Mircomachines fig of mine that I discovered stands almost perfectly at 7P scale.
Pleased with how my previous build session had gone, I took another crack a few weeks ago with this awesome drone as inspiration. This was the result:

I imagine this one as a labor frame that operates both as forklift and timber clearing machine. It's not very visible but there is a trans-black 1x1 slope located between the two body dishes where the operator is actually meant to sit. The yellow "eye" is meant to be a work/spot light.

Playing around with the design, I discovered when the blade arms and contraption were rotated into place praying mantis style, the whole frame takes on a much more menacing stance. I think I will call it Mr. Slicey.

Couldn't resist a good action shot. While the legs only have a few stable poses, the frame is reasonably sturdy though the cone to body connection at the front is bit of a weak connection when fiddling with the arms.
