Who's talking mechs? You should -see- the size of our grasshoppers and locusts 'down under'. I'm thinking a 70t grasshopper may be a bit restrained actually. They crush cars, eat children, and certainly give the drop-bears a run for their money.... (...) (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
