Yeah, that's a more Rusty-type color. So, shall we dance?

[RoseHeart]

Well we could, but we'd be using shadow puppets for mechs. Give me some time. A few days atleast. (Not that shadow puppets[sock puppets?] wouldn't be amusing)

[KitRougard]

...We need a children's edition with sock-puppet mechs now

what have you done

[KitRougard]

So, uh, I made the stats for a Sock Puppet mech. It has poor stats and no legs, but its meant to be used as a joke anyways.

Sock Puppet Mech
Torso/Head(5): Engine III, Coolant System II
"Hand"(3): Axe III
Mouth(3): Laser III
2X Googly Eyes(2 each)
Googly Eyes can have Torso, Head, and Laser modules installed in them, as well as tanks for tokens. If you lose an Eye, your attacks have -1 Hit. If you lose both, you go blind and are out.

Wait, we're actually doing this now? Alright, let's plan that battle for April 1st! A few ground rules:

Spoiler: Proposed Joke Mech Rules (click to show/hide)

15 points of HP/Modules.
15 Cards in deck.
30 Points of Cards.
Most rules go out the window. If you have "alternative means of propulsion" (Like a hand, or strings from above) you don't need legs. You do need a Torso, and some kind of Cockpit or Cockpit analogue, like the Sock Puppet's Googly Eyes. But otherwise, go loopy!
Just don't do stupid things like try to Kick on a mech with no legs, or Punch with no arms.

Shadow Puppet Mech
Torso/Head(5):
"Hand"(2): Sword III
Mouth(3): Laser Focus I
2X Googly Eyes(2 each)

[RoseHeart]

I am building the aptly named "Skrap Heep", I am having my doubts in the future I will allow:
- legs to have weapons
- legs to not be on the ground at all times

Update: SH just about done. On to The Gathering Clouds!

[KitRougard]

Fair enough. So how about the brawl between a sock and a shadow?

[RoseHeart]

Well if you want to host it.

Spoiler: Codec test 3 (click to show/hide)

Fire Jump Jets (1 Fuel each Jet), Laser Pulse III the Right Arm (I think - the Laser III one).

YIPPIE-KI-YAY MOTHERF***ER!

A loud BLEEP rings the battlefield as the country fool screams at the top of his lungs.
Throwing Sword at Torso, Beam Pulse III discarded as cost.

You really should be careful where you throw your weapons.

...a girl's voice calls out over the speakers.

Pick up the enemy's dropped sword. Beam Pulse III discarded as cost.

Speaking from mech in colored font in quote.

Remember to not godmode/powerplay by assuming your actions happen. Especially as I will determine results, even if a card would seem to surely hit, still do not assume.

Spectators are welcome to talk, In-Character.

PROLOGUE
"THE SECOND TEST"

"Gooooood Morning Mech Fans!"

"Welcome to the new stadium. But enough talking. Let's meet the machines."

The ground begins to shake... as two panels open...



...



"Premiering today is the Junker-SH model. With a configuration that you'll likely only see in a Beta..."

...and only because we were in a hurry...



This Junker-SH has a medium arm laser, large held axe, and medium uh... leg laser.

Did I read that right?

"SKRAP HEEP!"

...

"Is that a dark cloud gathering?"



...



This Murakumo I is outfitted with a medium arm axe, medium arm laser, and two fists.

"MURAKUMO!"

...



"Let's get a coms check. Have any words for your opponent before the fight?"

Trivia: You may know about Mech Card Battle that preceded IRON GLADIATOR. Did you know I crossed references and cameos in other games, even back then. Here is a Mech Card Battle reference in Forum RTS. That one references two games, actually...

[TricMagic]

"he. This should prove a simple fight."

[KitRougard]

"Straight it is! Might be a bit simple, but based on what I'm seeing, a few good shots to the torso's all it'll take...

[TricMagic]

"If you truly think I'm that easy, you'll be in for a surprise or three."


"Also, fix the data, your display says Quote from: Kuro. It would seem the rust on that thing isn't just for show."

[KitRougard]

"I hate to admit it, but my brother helped me make this one... Bastard must have thought it would be funny to make it say your name!
I'll have to give him a piece of my mind after this..."

AUTHOR EDIT:
Yes, he has a brother, his name is Khrom, he's a rich jerk.
