originally designed to be a smaller modified version of the No.4 WDU, the HEUO-5 (also commonly called 'House') was eventually redrawn from the base due to the difficulties in applying larger pieces to small scale. however it is smaller, it still carries a significantly higher amount of firepower (per weight) in comparison to the No.4 and most other military units, about 17% of its weight is ammunition and weapons. The weapons include 4x 25mm 5 barrel rotary cannons 12x DragonFire missiles 2x 50. cal automated machine guns on the shoulders. 2x vertically launched AA missiles.
other systems include reactive armor, smoke screen, vapor bombs and a radar dish.
The HEUO-5 is considerably light (35 tons fully equipped and with ammo) considering its top-heavy appearance, this is primarily because of the wall like shape of the upper body. Please note however it looks heavy in the back it is still balanced, a large majority of the upper bodies weight consists of the computer system in the head. Its unusual engine uses JP-11 to power the electrical servos in the legs and arm turrets, and it is much weaker compared to the newer AMMSRs that were developed in 2090. It is the smallest articulated locomotion unit WDU to ever enter service in any country (i apologize for lack of size reference)
in 2087 the HEOU-5 was introduced into combat and proved to be exceedingly effective against conventional units, in particular MBTs and other armored vehicles while using the 25mm cannons. Initially there were drawbacks to the design, such as tripping or being toppled while the reactive armor ignites, but these were soon fixed after the computer system was updated. due to its success, the unit was the first articulation unit to go into mass production for combat but soon became a relic after the AMMSR.

Honest (and helpful) criticism is always appreciated!
I like the design, very "modern" (I say that as comparison to the more common mecha styles), and relying on real tech and tactics really lends to the realism.
As for composition, I think the camera angle and background objects should be re-configured. The mech is overshadowed by the building behind it, and is far too small, by comparison to the entire piece, to be truly appreciated. A closer camera angle, with the buildings off to the left and right, would help the mech stand out in daylight much better, and lend to the imposing nature I'm sure a mech like this would have.
naw, i would tell them "Well there was this giant robot with 4 rotary cannons and missiles and stuff and it killed me" it would be less embarrassing than ballerina, i would just leave that part out
and the scenery seems almost surrela with this angle and those buildings
i like it!!

Honest criticism, nice work!
i'm making a whole new scene just for this mech cause i also kinda hate the job i did on the scene.
