LET'S GET IT ON!!!!!!!!

I present the first contestant in the Mecha Combat Federation, David Phye,
codeamed 'Rancid.' Rancid is piloting his heavily customized T-ANK R19
mobile armor.

You've got something good here, I can smell it.  An online action story.  So
what contender is going to be the first one to rip off an arm and beat their
opponent with it?

Any chance of mecha sized folding chairs...

The diamond holes on the shoulders do contain launch tubes, but only for
smoke grenades. Like I said before, no weapons.

Doesn't mean the evil characters can't cheat though, right?

Finally, David's cockpit is customized in comfy tan leather. On either side
of the chair are a contol console and a dignostic computer to keep track of
pump pressures and damage reports. They HUD lowers over Rancid's field of
vison to provide the maxium view range.

I dig this cockpit.  I love the look and feel of it, mmmmmmm leather.  But
really that fold down head gear and shoulder stays.  Coolio!

Body's waspish but great for hth combat.  I can see this mech spinning
around weasling it's way out of the grip of other mechs.
I see how you got the kick out on the hips but are the leg rotation (gears
at hips) pivoting by micro motor bits?  Or do they turn?

I love the mech and the idea.  Can't wait to see the next contestant!

*Backstory* In an effort to create cool new mecha with a non-leathal enviroment, I have created the Mecha Combat Federation or MCF. I see it as a new 'sports entertainment' of the distant future. A hybrid of Pro Wrestling, BattleBots, and the (...) (22 years ago, 26-Mar-02, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.build, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
