    Picture, if you will, a little backdrop setting...

    The finals at the SOLARIS Battlemech Arena. It is your mech versus your arch nemesis in the final match of the season; winner takes all. The girls, the glory, the cbills, everything. You have clawed, kicked, punched, shot, strafed and DFA'd your way through the ranks up to the title fight. This is it! The Big Show!!!!

    Your opponent has just exited his stable on the far side of the arena and walks on to the field. All the ugly people are cheering for the current Champion; but you know, you KNOW, they are waiting patiently, for you!

    You hear your name being called over the Arena PA system... "And in THIS corner, weighing in at XYZ tons is the challenger, the underdog, the undefeated (INSERT YOUR NAME HERE)"... The door slides open and your mech begins it's march forward. As you cross the threshold of the arena entrance fireworks go off to either side of your mech and in the background the speakers begin to blare your intro song.

    The crowd goes fucking wild! All the sexy chicks are screaming your name, holding up "We love you" signs and "Impregnate Here" signs! (almost like you are a Firefighter, but not quite).

    (What would the crowd be rocking out to?)

    For me? From about 1:00 onwards...



    The doors slide open to the intro as the crescendo builds and builds. Then, as the bass kicks in my Jenner rockets out of the gate... raises it's arms high in the air and spins around screaming...... oh wait... thats WWE Raw on Friday Night (on SyFy?!?! Really?!?!)...

    But you get the idea.

    Ha! I've NEVER used the Axeman, not even in TT. Course, I've never used a Jenner In TT either.

    Forward to 1:50.

    Picture hitting the final power-up button right at 1:53. Then montage camera angles around the mech powering-up. Cannon shells cycling into the chamber, power hitting the lasers and the capacitors charging up, missiles panels and actuators cycling to test motion.

    3:08 the fusion reactor achieves a fully self-sustained reaction, pan back out over the entire mech, glistening in the light of an alien planet. Pan across the rest of the lance. These are not mere machines of war, this is war as art. When mankind first created the Mackie they touched the angry face of God.

    From 4:08 on your brain will conjure up images that my mere words can't do justice do.

    Motivation for turning the enemy into smoldering ashes (that's black enough)


    and I hear this one sometimes as well for no particular reason (skip to 1:12 to ignore the intro)
