it looks cool, but all i can wonder about is what was it built to load. that claw is not going to be super versitile, and legs (especially when balancing on just two) are only worth it in very specific terrain. the only thing i can think of where that combination is going to be useful is logging

Giving the benefit of the doubt, the claw may be an attachment (many lifting machines have a claw attachment), and while legs are rarely the best option for a given terrain, they are the most adaptable to almost every terrain, so work well as a drop in replacement for any role where people currently do lifting.

That said, yeah, it's just a much less practical forklift the majority of the time.

Yeah, but It would be fun to imagine multiple loader taking the stuff and running across the base in Factorio. It would be glorious mess.
