Yes I realize tripod enemies exist in many fictions, and the brain + eyeball is very 50s sci-fi, but the legs curves and whatnot feel very panzerish- what enemy am I thinking of?
You are seeing things man 
actually maybe I am 
Might be Gunvalkyrie or Lost Planet I’m thinking of …
Yeah more like that.

I think it looks most like the Baldor Queen.
Hardly similar.
looks more like tripods from war of the worlds
I was thinking of those things that run in the Saga desert.
But I admit I’m reaching!
I can see the similarity between that and the baldor. I think it’s because it has bone like legs. It looks Panzerish that way.
