Mycobacter's Premise Fantasy Mecha

The Premise is my 90 ton answer to Drake's Antithesis. I took the core principle behind his mecha of enhanced motion capture and used an entirely different technology for its driving systems then took things further by also using it for targeting applications.

The Premise uses infrared body scanning to read your movements inside the cockpit and thermographic imaging to aim its weapons when targeting foes.  This gives it very high precision.  It is a mecha that primarily specializes in laser weapons.  The dodge bonus isn't very high so to make up for that the Premise has space for many, many shields.  Light gray in color, with laser batteries in the shoulders and on the end of each arm, Premise crackles with deadly energy.
The head has a painted on scowl but the actual "eyes" are located elsewhere on its body.

The experience of piloting a Premise is somewhat unique: its computer vision converts data readouts from the thermographic imaging equipment into composited holographic maps within the cockpit... allowing you to fight "false images" of your foes that are projected across and next to you, physically.
