I've got it narrowed down to angry janitor Jikki and the delivery bots Flapper Kung-Fu and Landmotor.
@Lunar Templar
Well, yeah, but let's be honest, the Tryon 3 team deserved to be the protags.

@mcpop9
Your mech was holding still for several seconds charging its super fuck-you beam as you berated people for using cover in a firefight. That's plenty of time to line up a kick. In fact, I'm surprised nobody else decided to take advantage of the situation.

The mech isn't undetectable to, say, SONAR, LADAR, minovsky detection, and... well, pretty much anything that ISN'T visual detection and RADAR. I wasn't aware that thermals were included in the typical gunpla sensor suite, so that's my bad.

Again: There is no shortcut for a straight line. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Short of actual, literal teleportation, you can't have a shorter path than a straight line. This is a fundamental constant of reality.

On a side note, this is the extreme result of such a kick in the series that inspired the Kuuga Custom. I elected NOT to have it turn mechs into thermonuclear devices. :P
The Tryon-3 had 3 mechs worth of batteries. Since, you know, it was made of three mechs with their own generators. The only reason it lost was because it EVENTUALLY ran out of gas in the fight immediately after the "THIS IS WHY WE HAVE LIMITS" fight where they showed why they had limits- to prevent exactly what's happening in-game.
I'm considering either a Jikki, which I'd probably rename "Janitron" or something, or a Megavex delivery mech. Both would TECHNICALLY be owned by humans, but doing their own thing on their downtime from work.

1. Yeah, I figured the radar-absorbent paint wouldn't matter because of all the easily detected Minovsky/Plavsky Particles flying around anyway.
2. Even if it DID matter, I don't see anything about thermal imaging on your sheet.
3. At no point did I say I was moving erratically or leaving "exhaust lines." We are in space. There is no exhaust trail. You're making that up and controlling my character's actions to give yourself an unfair advantage.
4. Your mech tanked pretty much the best damage my mech can put out (a relativistic dropkick) with a total damage of "some paint scratches" and now you're trying to say your mech is faster than the designated melee mech built for speed. What, exactly, is your mech NOT going to be automagically better than mine at?
Of course, you can't exactly use parlor tricks to catch up to something traveling at relativistic speeds. There weren't any shortcuts- unless that stupid angel-looking edgejob with its magic marker paintscheme was capable of INSTANTANEOUSLY tunneling through several tons of solid rock while also picking up speed. So Joe simply pointed the beetle legs that remained in Mobile Suit mode backward and fired at the unit's wings with the piddling slug cannons, performing an aileron roll to dodge the pink bullets and speeding off into the asteroid field- the mech shifting to darker and darker shades of red. Honestly, that pilot was lucky that there was a waiting period on some of the parts he needed to

"Damn, you idiots got SPOILED with all those fancy mobile suits! All those stupid systems, laser cannons, beam weapons, and spacemagic made you forget what robots are all about!"
There was a blip which suddenly appeared behind Kyo's mech. It was then a foot planted itself in the back of her Gundam's head at near light-speed, and then flew straight off into the distance faster than her eyes- or sensors- could keep up with. The mech in question was very, very red though. Taking advantage of the open comms, a Japanese pilot shouted in.

"SHOULDA USED THE COVER, DUMBASS!"

While normally, the Dybile Gundam wouldn't be able to fly because of gravity, in space there was no such restriction- just point the rockets behind you and fly around at almost physically impossible speeds, kicking people in the back of the head. This speed was what made Dybile such a threat to the Federation and ZOO forces during its use in Gundam Beast- speed so great it interfered with the sensors of mechs and was quite literally impossible to follow with the naked eye. Combined with a RADAR-absorbent paintjob he'd gotten from Uncle Go, it made the machine undetectable at anything but point-blank range.
Name: Joe Kurogane
Age: 15
Gender: Male


Nationality: Japanese

Favorite Gundam Series: G Gundam, Gundam Beast

Personality: Joe doesn't want to be here. He's not interested in the Gundam franchise, he's not interested in pursuing a career in pro Gunpla, and he really, really hates the kind of losers that frequent the Akibahara district. However, he understands what wins in this sport, just like in the Toku and "actual decent robot" shows he loves: Hard Work And Guts. While your performance in the arena won't impress him, your training MIGHT. He's mostly sticking around because it's the school closest to his house, and by Japanese school districts, he's stuck here. Plus, he figures that the faculty here's going to be interested in funding one of his personal projects.

History: Joe's family has always been gearheads who love giant robots, superheroes, and space. Well, giant robots that aren't Gundam. This really colored their career paths. His Uncle Go builds military robots. His Uncle Saotome works on autopilot systems for jets. His brother Jiron works in bomb disposal. His sister Noriko joined the navy to work with guidance systems. His cousin Gai is an astronaut. Joe and his father, however, take after Grandpa Sadamitsu- a grizzled mechanic and known hellraiser from the days when Bancho were in every schoolyard. As Joe's father Kouji took up the Kurogane Motors mechanic shop withe the retirement of his grandfather, Joe was set to take up the mantle down the road, after apprenticing under his father and graduating high school.

That is, until he received an invitation to a gunpla school in the district with no way to refuse. Due to the zoning laws of the Japanese education system, he must attend the closest school to his place of residence- in this case, the unaccredited school where students study Gunpla and nothing else. He dreads being stuck here, since he's pretty sure they don't give out real diplomas and he has no interest in being a professional gunpla player. But while he's here, he might as well make some friends.

Gunpla Info
Musha Gundam Triumph Custom
Scale: 1/100
Based from: Musha Gundam

weapons: DJ Gun (Tanegashima Rifle), Citruslicer & Peerless Saber (kotetsumaru katanas), Heat Tomahawks
Special features: Those flags? They're the heat tomahawks.

Kuuga/Kuuga Gouram
Scale: 1/144
Based from: OM-LU04G2 Dybile Gundam

weapons: Two low-grade cannons in the bug legs.
Special features: Like most mechs from Gundam Beast, the Dybile Gundam is able to switch between a Beast Mode and Mobile Suit mode with various advantages and disadvantages. In the case of Dybile, the Beast Mode is capable of flight and has better defenses. However, while it can't fly, the Mobile Suit mode has hands. As an additional advantage, its thrusters are all pointed backward in Suit Mode- allowing it to use all its thrust to move forward quickly.
I'll do my best to post regularly, but midterm projects are coming up. You may have lost some players to that.
