Sci-Fi Walking Robot

Just wanted to see what everyone thought about this model I was working on.
Haven't put anytime into the legs yet and the textures are temporary.
Would anyone be interested in this style of Bots or other mechanical models similiar to this?

It wouldn't be something I would use (I don't make sci-fi games), but It looks really good. I believe it is low poly too?

Thanks Tyler..
It is actually about 1100 Tri's right now.I think that is high for this this model. I work in a mechanical design 3D package so I probably need to start cutting back on all the little details (small chamfers, etc..) and do more detail work in the textures..
Maybe 1100 is not bad though. Does anyone have any thoughts. This would probably end up being about 3-4 ft Tall Bot in Game.

It reminds me of Portals "Friendly" Sentry units.
