Hydaelyn Role-Players

Describe what sort of mech they'd pilot, their loadout, source mech, etc. and yell at each other over who's mech would beat who's.
I'll go make a template for simplicity's sake. Hell, make a bunch, mech shit's great.

For you sir, I have but one word.

Daishi.

Also sweet mother of all love Steel you took the 3L variant. Take me now.

Pilot Name: Doug "Dogberry" Barrie

Mecha Name: Syldra

Mech Type: AMV-5 Khopesh

Source Material: Cthulhutech

Loadout:

- Arm mounted laser cannon
- Retractable hyperblade
- Torpedo salvo

Description: Standing 38 feet tall, designed for heavy amphibios combat, the Khopesh is the heavy hitter of the New Earth Government's Naval Mecha program. Stationed aboard the NEGS Pickman in the Indian Ocean, Syldra has been a notable deterrent in the King In Yellow's encroachment on Australia. Able to strike with torpedoes underwater, pick off soft targets at a distance with the arm mounted laser, and scrap up and close with the beasts that should not be, the AMV-5 Khopesh is an all-purpose mecha, perfect for the defense of humanity against the Mythos.

I'm not sure what Mecha she would pilot.. but I'm pretty sure it would be all about fan service.

Definitely Fei-Yen.

I'm almost tempted to post the powered armor from Metal Wolf Chaos. Almost.

Instead, the obvious:



White Glint, from Armored Core.

Omg mechwarriors all of my yes

Pilot Name: John Sherman
Mech Source: BattleTech
'Mech Name: Loneseeker
'Mech Type: Mad Cat Mk II



Loadout: 

• 2 x Gauss Rifles
  
• 2 x LRM-10s
  
• 4 x ER Medium Lasers
  

Ooh, ooh, I get to whip out some Battletech, too!

Pilot Name: Lyta "Fireball" Marne
'Mech Name: "Flare"
'Mech Type: Modified Preta
Source Material: Battletech

Loadout:

• Jump jet pods
  
• Targeting computer
  
• MASC system
  
• Arrow IV artillery system
  

Description: This stolen Preta, currently owned by a freelance mercenary, has been modified for use as a long-range strike vehicle. While most of its armor has been stripped to accommodate the massive Arrow IV piece it wields, the fact that it can reliably hit targets from over 9 kilometers makes it quite dangerous as long as its opponents are otherwise occupied with TAG-equipped front line forces. This variant's primary defense is its ability to quickly escape from combat using its jump jets and MASC. Should an opponent actually close with it, while it can take a few hits, this 'mech is in serious trouble.

What I mean is, I'm not sure it matters what mecha she pilots, since most of her shots will just be of her in a skin-tight piloting suit, often in compromising positions while piloting - that's the way these series work right?

I am actually scanning through mecha.. I just love the artwork, and I'm really missing watching this sort of series!  My favorite was always the Female Power Armor from Macross/Robotech, but its looking rather dated :-]
