a while back I was trying out mechs that had all, or most, of the firepower with half the size and was just thinking of a joke about the Thug mech that was made some years ago. something about it being the perfect assault mech, the arm being the perfect light, the rest being the perfect heave and half a Thug being the perfect medium.
well I just decided to try out Half a Thug but with all the firepower
