Backstory... hmm.
The big eyes and light color scheme indicate a dark environment.
The circular plaque is the mark of the planetary exploration consortium.
This can only be the mecha used in the ill fated lunar ice expedition of
2087. Radar scans detected a new subsurface ice deposit on the moon.
Water was highly valuable to the lunar colonization effort and a team
was dispatched to investigate the feasibility of a mining operation.
It was to be the first field test of a new subsurface exploration mecha...
All contact with the Quilljox was lost ten minutes after it descended
into a surface fissure. Despite subsequent excavations at the site,
no sign of the machine was ever detected save for the characteristic
claw marks in the lunar rock. Some say this "sign of the Quilljox" has been
seen in deepest caverns of the moon, as if carved by some mecha ghost in an
endless search for a route to the surface. The scary thing is that the mecha
did have an autonomous mode and a nuclear power core so it could possibly
still by wandering in the depths of the moon, with a skeleton at the controls.

| Yes! YES! YES! I love it! Excellent! Now where did I put those Skeleton figs! I gotta go out behind my house or up to the Trails on the mountain and get a shot of Qwilljox from behind clawing at the lower part of a cliff face. Cool, very cool. (...) (23 years ago, 5-Feb-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
