WALL•E

WALL•E's legs were created using primarily Technic elements. The biggest challenge I had was making the rear caterpillar track support wheel larger than the front one, but still allowing the rest of the model to be upright. My eureka moment came when I connected the legs to the body with ball joints. This solved the problem and inadvertently enhanced to the model's poseability.

WALL•E's head took some time to achieve a reasonable likeness. To be honest I think the eyebrows would probably look a bit better without the 2x3 plate underneath. I secretly wished LEGO would make 2x3 tiles (to my knowledge they currently do not), which would allow me to omit the 2x3 plates.

For WALL•E's body, I tried to incorporate as much detail as I could given the model's small size (the body is 6 studs wide), namely the slots where the arms would slide forward, the diagonal slits on each side, and, or course, a “stomach” that opens to compact trash. The arms and the head are both also connected to the body via ball joints, allowing for a nice range of poses.
