Mechanimals Series 3: Cedric of the Nile

Adopted by an Egyptian inventor, Cedric was always curious about his parents. One day he decided to set out on a journey to find them. In his adopted father's back shed he built the CROC Mk3 (please don't ask about Mk1 or Mk2). It apparently runs on lightning, bubblegum, peppermint tea and luck.

Edit:
So many people have commented that this little fellow looks like Reptar from the Rugrats movie that I had to google him/it and have a look- sure enough they do look pretty similar (bugger!). Still, for the record this is Not Reptar or even based on him- so take that Nickelodeon! Hah!
Actually, for those who care for such things, he is mostly a simple combination of a crocodile (carrying its young in its mouth as they do), a steam locomotive (something like the Flying Scotsman I would like to imagine) and my father-in-law's old tractor. My major influence for this series (if I was ripping anyone off) was Hellboy... I was even tempted to title them this at the exhibition but thought it might frighten the parents- the kids would be fine with it I'm sure!
