Oh man! I built my first Mechaton figure today. It's a brute. I'm not sure it's the proper size for play. I meant for him to be a bigger mech called a Cerberus—on account of the three massive cannons over its back. It also has some nasty four-pronged claws. I think he'd be stated out like this:
Wish I had a digital camera! Argh. The figure is built almost entire from Exo-Force pieces. Where can I get software to do schematics? Anyway ...
0624 Cerberus I
White Dice: 2
Red Dice: 2 Hand-to-Hand, 2 Artillery
Bonus initiative dice: 2
I think the Cerberus II needs some kind of armor pieces that could be removed, and hence get blue dice. Also, maybe figure out a way add some range finders or some such on his front torso (he's a pretty squat little guy).
My next one's going to be all about penisy missiles! Already figured out a way to mount three of those goblet-missiles on just a few tidy piecs. It'll practically fall over from the weight, but man will it rock.
This makes Matt S go "Dragonfly"
I built a second Mechaton figure. It's a sandy-ish colored strider mech with dragonfly wings (yes!). I'm still thinking I may be building figures BARELY too big for the game, but close.
2 white dice
1 green die (wings)
2 red dice (flamer, direct fire)
2 red dice (claw, hand-to-hand)
1 red dice (claw hand to hand)
1 yellow dice (antenna)
red d8 (one-shot missile)
This makes NinJ go "Pictures, man! Pictures!"
