Handle looks like it can kick back.

Actually it looks to me as though the legs cannot move sideways at all, only forward/back/up/down. If that's true it would be nearly impossible for Handle to stand on one leg or even raise one leg for long enough to perform a decent kick without falling over.

In the video where Handle is moving in a circle quickly while crouching you can clearly see one leg moving out to the side.

Nope. The legs are still pointing in exactly the same direction relative to the body, the only difference is the body is tilted. Relative to the body the legs have different vertical extension but the horizontal distance between them is the same.

This must be fixed.

Or lasers...

IDK, seemed pretty capable when it hit that ice/snow patch coming down the hill.
