Answers.Text: That third solution with the skeleton legs is a very tempting solution to this dilemma I'm having. I might just pull the trigger on this one, but I am waiting for Stud.io 2.0+ to finish downloading before I do anything I might regret. Thanks for answering!

Answers.Text: Sorry for the late comment. You really didn't have to upload an LDD file. I would think the design is pretty straight forward. But nonetheless I do appreciate the help! Marked as Answer!

  I see what you mean... Friggin' annoying! Can't do it Stud.io Ver 1.0 (157) either. I haven't installed Stud.io 2.0 yet, to see if it's possible in the upgrade.
  
  Hmm... You could... Just create a work-a-round that could potentially make your model a little more unique.
  
  These program issues are frustrating, but they're fun when they force us to think of an alternative.
  
  Here, try these *Mech Fisticuff Gauntlets*. The pictures look like nonsense, so let me explain the layout.
  
  **FRONT VIEW.**

  It reads loosely in columns from left to right. Your new fist configuration build are the 4th and 5th Columns.
  
  * 1st Column: Dark Gray 1x2 brick = Height 3 Plates.
  * 2nd Column: Blue MiniFig Legs = Height 5 plates.
  * 3rd Column: The total height of Legs and 1x2 brick. = 8 plates high.
    LDD won't let us stack a 1x2 brick on to leg stalk.
  * 4th Column: Our alternate fist, fingers fully extended. (Note: It
    will be an unnoticeable 1/2 plate shorter then your original fists.
  * 5th Column: Our alternate fist, fingers curled up, forming a Left
    fist.
  * 6th loose splatter pieces: Four individual pieces to our fist recipe.
  
    1. 93062 Skeleton Leg.
    2. 26047 Modified 1 x 1 Rounded with Handle.
    3. 99780 1 x 2 - 1 x 2 Inverted.
    4. 15573 Modified 1 x 2 with 1 Stud with Groove and Bottom Stud
       Holder (Jumper).
  * 7th Pointing Hand of Prime.
  
  **Final Note**: *LEGO* may not have those Skeleton legs in the colors we want in real life, but look through for other minifig leg or hinge+1x1 plate combination to get your Mech finger/knuckles right.
