I've just been to Woking in England --the place where HG Wells set his classic novel "War of The Worlds" . In the city centre there is a huge replica of one of the three legged aliens from the book, and it is the exact same design as a Strider -- just with one less limb.
The replica is shiney chrome metal, but the ones in the book were a similar colour to the Striders.
It's so cool to walk under a real life Strider!!!
