When he arrived on the planet, he could not believe what he was seeing. An entire planet made of a junkyard of mechs familiar and not so familiar. There were whole regions where mechs were piled up onto one another; these piles could easily be several miles high. Wherever there wasn't a mountain of destroyed mech, huge craters with the remains of spent ammunition, mech parts and unexploded ordinance littered the rest of the enormous planet, making these massive battlefields.
Most of the mechs had been left here for thousands of years it seems, shrouded by forests in some areas, among some of these areas had what appeared to be brand new mechs just piled and stacked for hundreds of miles. The Archeologist started scanning the planet; there were two humanoid signatures present on the planet, the Archeologist was down hearted. He wasnt the first to discover this planet. He decided that he still needed to investingate these humanoid creatures and this planet, unfortunately they were not responding to any form of communication he could transmit from where he was. The Archeologist decided it was worth the risk to see who was there and what they were doing on this junkyard planet.
He set his ship down next to a massive hanger near the two humanoid creatures and immediately was greeted by two very scruffy looking men. Smiles befell the three and an awkward silence arose. One of the two men was a spoke very little and the other spoke even less,they mainly mumbled each other.
"Are you real?" The tall of the two scruffy men asked.
"I guess you don't get many visitors out here in these part." I replied
"No, we don't. We have been stranded here for years." The tall man spoke. "They call me Talkie, call him Mums."
"I guess you can call me Arc". I politely told them.
"Will you take us off of this planet?" Talkie asks, Mums grins.
"I will be glad to , but first i would like to explore this place a little before we go. So is anything interesting around here to look at." I said to the men, they looked ecstatic.
"Well over in the hangar there is something inside you are not going to believe." Talkie said as he led us towards the entrance. One step in and Arc's jaw dropped, these two scraggily men were mechanics and they had spent years fusing mechs together.
"There is thousands of them." I commented, awestruck.
"Nah, only like 500." Talkie commented, Mums says something to Talkie and smiles. "We have tested all of these but one" Talkie said and pointed to a massive mech under a giant tarp. They are visually excited and so was Arc. In a large section of the hanger that looked like it had been closed off for a while now, was a very large mech under cover of the large tarp. Mums flips the light and Talkie uses a rope and pullies to help remove the cover. It was 3 mechs fused together.
"It looks like a Megazome body with an Aspis head and a Apatotron long neck head as its tail." Arc said.
"Mums calls it a Chimera, but I keep telling him he's got his myths mixed up. I call it MeAsAp. It has been finished for years; however me and Mums needed a third pilot for the tail section. What do say partner? You want drive something no one ever has before?" Talkie said. Arc thought back to when he was younger, and piloted Red Ants and Anzus, but nothing ever like this. His reply was "ABSOLUTELY!" Talkie laughed and said "Lets go over some of the specs before we get going." Arc agreed.
"We kept the build specs for each the same, but had to make some sacrifices to max each mechs abilities. From the Megazome, we kept its maneuverability and weapon holding ability, and the need for two pilots for that section, which made it the perfect mech to start with. All of its weapons were stripped except for frozen wind. The top was taken off making what was a 65 ton mech now weigh somewhere around 50 tons for the base of the mech." Talkie stated. Mums just nodded and grinned.
"The next step was attaching the Aspis head, which weighs nearly 20 tons by itself. The extra shielding and attacks make this mech a force to be reckoned with. But it was very heavy for the front end of the mech. So we realized a counter weight was necessary to keep the mech stable." Talkie said as he walked over to the mech and patted its armored hull. Many ideas were thrown around and Mums said 'lets just make a Chimera.' And what was the fusion of 2 mechs became 3. So the Aspis had to lose a little more weight and the 3 Tri slaggers were reduced to one. Precision was less important and shooting first became the goal. The Apato's neck was able to be fused as well as one Jurassic Thunder. Bringing the mech up to 105 tons total"

Talkie looks over at Arc, who is drooling after watching all the development tapes, and says to him "you ready to ride Arc?"
