==Overview:==
The patchwork mech was created from the chassis of an old Awesome by a
Periphery mechanic named Niles Vanders. Vanders found the old hulk buried in a
junk heap. 

Without access to proper parts, Vanders was only able to salvage two of the
original PPCs, neither of which work at full capacity. To replace the final
PPC, Vanders managed to reconstruct an old model AC/2 from the torso of a
Vulcan, which is also the only fully functional weapon.

The small laser was found to be unrepairable, and was removed to make room for
power amplification gear. This gear also forced some creative engineering in
the cockpit, effectively shrinking it. In order to protect the pilot from the
new power amplifiers and the huge ICE engine just below his feet, heat sinks
were grafted into the head of the mech, further reducing cockpit size.

In order to replace lost armour, Vanders was forced to resort to whatever he
could find, including buying small quatities of stolen prototype armours.

==Capabilities:==
Vanders' frankensteined Awesome suffers from reduced speed and severely
reduced firepower, in addition to it's weakened armour and the inherrent flaws
in some of the prototype armour.

That said, it is still a match for many of the threats which it may face in
the periphery. It's dual PPC system allows it to punish any mechs foolish
enough to come within range, while the AC/2 can worry away armour at much
greater ranges.

The mech does suffer against close-in targets, however this is remedied by
pairing it with some form of short range mech or vehicle.

==Deployment==
Vanders plans to sell his newly functional mech to the highest bidder,
although his focus market is agri-combines and other communities preyed upon
by pirates.

Knowing full well that his target customers can't afford the mech, Vanders
plans to make the sale using barter, namely they take the mech in exchange for
allowing him to comfortably live in their community at no cost to himself.
