[@ArenaSnow] He let me use a [url=http://media.moddb.com/images/groups/1/1/381/madcat_031.jpg]Mad Cat[/url] last time, making allowances in the lore for it to be an old, cheap, outdated model of mech that occupies landfills across the solar system. My character, being one of the better engineers in the crew, enjoyed cleaning it up and getting it back into working condition over the years.

Aristo also allowed mechs that transform into jets. That's not my style personally, but he's rather fair about the players bringing their own styles and ideas into the fold, being my point.

Fair enough. I might just bastardize an existing battlemech design.
