Reconnaissance Mech Design

You have just started working at Blizzard Entertainment on a trial schedule for 2 weeks. Your first assignment has just been handed off to you.  Good luck!

Guidelines- Design a reconnaissance Mech that will be dropped from a mothership and sent to a planet below for reconnaissance investigation. Please draw the Mech in a before and after position. In the before position the Mech may be closed up tight with a protective shell/ capsule or exoskeleton to protect it during the launch and the entering into the planets atmosphere. In the after position please indicate what the Mech looks like after it has landed upon the ground and escaped its protective shell/capsule. (The mothership has not been identified as being human or alien.)

Details- 
1.The Mech needs to have at least 2 -3 legs similar to that of a spider or crab.
2. Needs to have head-shape, thorax and abdomen. Any size variation can work.
3. Can be unmanned or manned. With or without a cockpit.
4. There needs to be some kind of round camera/infrared device with antenna somewhere.
-Optional-
5. Yes...there can be a small set of arms.
6. Yes...there can be some light weaponry.
7. Yes... the abdomen can be tool related or a drill.

-Process-
1. Reference review
(Please consider looking at bug and reptile reference to guide you.)
2. Silhouette studies
3. Block shape rough with centerlines to establish angle and perspective view.
4.Multiple rough thumbnails.
5. Rough
6.Finish render
