In comparison to the lineart it is closer except for the upper torso.  IN
the lineart the blue section slants down father.

The shield is definitely much smaller.  The 1.0 follows the late 90s
fashion of hanging huge shoulder pads, hip armor, lower legs and
forearms on tiny chest, waist, upper arms and thighs.  It looked
pretty cool back then.

The 2.0 took a major compromise toward the generation of robots before
that.  The chest and waist is much closer to the human scale (still
very thin compared to adullt male).  The upper arms and thighs are
also longer and thicker.  The knee pads are less assuming.  Overall it
feels like there's more body (robot) and less paraphernalia.

I can understand there's a whole school of designers (and fans) who
likes the 90s look.  But really, take a look at 1.0, it has a 20 inch
waist and a 60+ inch hip!
