W.T. Fits: Apr 21, 2010; Ready to Poyozo Dance all over your face.

From all the sneak peaks, I have high hopes that this match may equal, or even possibly exceed, the Hogarth's Heroes movie match. :allears:

Having seen them for myself in the course of helping PTN draw them, I can confirm that they are indeed glorious.

Scintilla cleaned up half the OpForce sprites for me. His assistance was very much appreciated!

Here are the results:

I'm happy to have been able to help. I hope everyone has as much fun fighting/piloting them as I did helping to make them.

So we got a gunslinger Griffon with double ppc action.

two fast ac/20 boats

A gladiator that menaces with SPIKES

the result of welding two crabs to each other. (which is a really really deadly machine.)

and a quickdraw with a hatchet.

So what constitutes a "wrestling move"? Is it just any physical attack or are you drawing up a bunch of new unique physical attacks just for this scenario?

Also it looks like you forgot to double the head armor (unless this is just a hilarious design decision).

I'm reasonably sure it does. It comes out exactly with all the equipment shown and an XL engine.

You know, the only thing the map lacks is some stands so that innocent bystanders can enjoy the show and/or become collateral damage.

If that Charger doesn't have 'Pomp and Circumstance' blasting from its speakers the whole fight I'll be so disappointed.

Please tell me there's a noncombatant vehicle moving around the edges of the map piloted by Miss Elizabeth.

If any enemy attacks Miss Elizabeth, Randy must target them exclusively and gains a 2 point bonus to all physical attack rolls.

There are lot of different moves, I hope whoever controls the charger gets to negotiate for a proper move when the time comes.

The map looks to be a massive shanty town. I'm sure there will be no shortage of corrugated iron sheets with which to smack enemy mechs upside the head.

But That Crab has a weight advantage on the Macho Mech! it is likely to POWER OUT of the submission hold, he needs to go for the Sleeper hold and take out the Crabs Power advantage!

My default sheets all show 9/3 head armor because 99.9% of the time I never need to change it. :blush:

VVV I couldn't pull off a convincing Luchador mask. Also Randy Savage is more fun.
