I went to Legoland CA a couple of weeks ago and went nuts at the brick shop.
Awesome!  I couldn't decide on what colors to get until I spied the clear brick
bins. (this translucent fixation can be traced back to my childhood Micronaut
days)  I was speechless.  I thought I could do a mech in all clear.  But there
aren't that many clear parts.  Just enough to build... something.  I had to
supplement my clear stash with an order from Bricklink.  Luckily I just recieved
my order on Saturday.  So here it is.  I present to you...Phantasm.  Not too
complicated a build.  But you always remember your first.

A bit of a story-

Originally commissioned as stealth mechs in the Vbreen/Geron war, 100 years
later these mechs are now in the hands of space pirates.  They now attack the
Vbreen supply ships that have grown fat from the spoils of war. Outfitted with
quad disruptors and telsa shields they strike without warning.  And with their
new upgraded cloaking devices from unknown alien technology, are almost
impossible to detect.  Another strange feature is the installation of a single
brain pilot/computer instead of the normal organic pilot favored by so many
civilizations. Pilots beware the Phantasm!  (music builds)

That's all for now.  PLMKWYT!!
