"It appeared to me as if in a dream..."

"It appeared to me as if in a dream..."

Okay, sorry to borrow a line from a Skinny Puppy song, on the CD Too Dark Park.

Seriously, I had a weird dream last night in which someone was piloting a 'Mech that I had never seen before.

It looked like a cross between a Stalker and a Jenner.  It apparently had an SRM 4 in either arm, plus two lasers (medium or small?) on either side torso.  I'm not sure what other equipment the 'Mech had on it.

If anyone wants to use this dreamlike image as the basis for a new 'Mech design, possibly calling it the Dreampod, they can do so if they want to.

Thanks for not Naga-ing me for it. That argument could have gotten Grizzly really fast. 8)

Watchman it. That guy has a Vulcan-ic temper. If this gets out of Hammerhands, the Enforcers are going to close this thread... would that really be Whitworth the trouble? ;)

Thank you to everyone for responding to my slightly crazy post, and to CitizenErased for the 'Mech designs.
