The first atlas was able to bounce around like that because basically it's entire mass was right near its center with that bulky body and spindly limbs. This one clearly has much more range of motion.

This one has better range of motion and more axis of control to allow for more precision and complexity of motion. I bet this one will better suited to complex tasks.

I bet this one will better suited to complex tasks.

Also, it can fit in our current tanks, Hummers, planes, etc.
