*** In itself only possible through making a 'Frankenmech' of a Shadow Hawk chassis over Hunchback legs. All they had to do afterwards was to remove the shoulder gun mount and change the head styling. The 'bubble-head' GM is a 50-ton part-by-part knock-off, and fittingly quite mediocre.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Originally, the authors were discussing whether to go with C-Earth or RealLife Earth.
