I just noticed that it doesn't seem to be able to turn left or right. There's no joint at the hip and the shoulders seem rather fixed.

All the joints are ball joints, they can move in any direction just as your hip joint can. It can go up on one leg and swivel around the just just like you can. If anything it would have greater range of movement than a person would since the knee is a ball joint too.

Ah so to turn from side to side it would use its knee joints not a hip joint? makes sense.

It could use either, but in practice would probably use both.

You may want to add sulfuric, iron desert (mars), volcanic, and maybe a lunar looking model. It can go a lot more places than people in uniforms can.

Good ideas all. Coming up!

Lunar Camo :

Mars Camo :

It's not easy to find out what Venusian surfaces look like...

Very nice. Lunar camo could also double as an urban color scheme (Something RL militaries are implementing). I really like what you have so far.

I think of a sulfuric landscape being like an ugly yellow and a pee green mix with maybe some salmon thrown in

Really ugly

After looking at some pictures of sulphur online... Venus Camo :

And the last one I can think of... since they are waterproof and pressure resistant, ocean camo :

Um... I like all the camo variations, but didn't you mention the fact that the Coalition has variable appearance or chameleon tech? If so, this would be the ideal candidate.

Yes, absolutely. These aren't paint jobs; these are examples of the different appearances it could assume.

I like them. Nice job. Still need a volcanic one with Darker reds than the martian one imo but it looks great so far.
