Here is the info I got so we are all on the same page and have access to the same material....
Per Chef - Hi there! I'm about to release the new 95 ton Niode mech. I almost have the stats done. Now it just needs a name and a description for the Mech Manual. Can you please pass this on to your top writers (including yourself of course)
Please ask them to write a name and description, and send it directly to me. Winner gets a free 95 ton mech!
Once I post the stats...
As always, I strongly prefer descriptions that match up with the stats, maybe explain why it gets certain bonuses. The description does NOT need to be an "origin story" but it can, that's up to the writer.
It's main strengths are: -More Missile Damage than any other mech. -At level 22 it gains 10% 2X damage AND 10% 3X damage (for a chance of 6X damage) -Fantastic shielding Splash, Trample, Fork, Laser & Fire (maybe interesting since most missiles cause splash or fork, so this is good with missiles both offense and defense.)
Has some other good strengths too, such as precision see the full list…
On the other hand it's slow. (All BFM are slow, but this one is…. normal for it's weight class)
I think it kinda looks like the "bat mech" LOL... Lookout Space Ghost! LOL
It gets a few extra engine slots to balance the speed..
