I remember reading about an  in canon annual Mech fair where the are prizes for Mech dancing, fancy dress Mechs and a Mech scale American Football game.

Is it bad that now I want to set an entire AToW campaign around this event and the shenanigans it inspires?
Some places remain unknown because no one has gone there.  Others remain unknown because no one has come back.

It was on Noisiel.

No, this is a great linebacker


But it can't even catch the Elemental!  :o

Too slow.  Your receivers need to be fast, so maybe a Spider?
I'm thinking a Viper/Dragonfly with hand actuators. Fast, jumpy, hard to tackle and armored enough to not fold like cardboard.

Okay, Rasalhague Dominion Mech Bowl team:
The Big Guy - Kodiak or jumping Kodiak 2  >:D
Blitzers - Executioner... a little slower than usual unless blitzing, but agile and packs a punch
Thrower - Mad Dog... throw can be done either via missile launchers or gauss rifles  ;D
Catchers - Viper
Linemen - various Rasalhague Mechs with melee weapons

And last but not least... the Runner - Firemoth, can also be thrown with the Elemental by the Big Guy Kodiak!  [blank]

Big Guy and Blitzers have intimidation, making it harder for opponents to pick up the Elemental near them. All of them except the Big Guy and the Linemen have rerolls on Elemental handling, because Omnimechs. ^^
