I've been thinking about something, and I'd like everyone's opinion about the idea. After building my AEGAKS-706-Tskr "Timeseeker," I was considering the possibility of starting a line of Self-Mechas. The Timeseeker was practically designed by one of my best friends (she chose the colors, weapons, class, shape of the armor, and so forth, I simply built it and added a bit of my own flare to it), and I thought it would be cool to start the Self-Mecha idea, derived from the Self-MOC. For anyone that doesn't know, a Self-MOC is normally a Bionicle-themed character that you build to represent yourself on this website. Then, other people begin to build their own versions of that Self-MOC. So could we, in reality, start with a Self-Mecha "theme?" It's just a thought, and I'd like everyone's input regarding it.

I like that idea...
Maybe I'll start working on my own self-mecha soon, though Hound (my first aegaks) was already close to it (Take a look at it if you haven't yet)

My thoughts were that you would pick a few defining characteristics:

1) Class- Pitiful, Hardsuit, Light, Medium, Heavy, and Uberheavy.
2) Pilot- Include a short biography (unless it's a Devastator pilot). The pilot will then become your AEGAKS siggy.
3) Colors- One primary, and two to three accent colors.
4) Weapons- One primary, and a number of secondary weapons.

The rest is up to you.

1. Heavy or Medium (Missiles /Large cannons or swords and blades)
2. Shadowa Heartfelt
He is the CEO and founder of Hearfelt Industries. Being 25 years old, his daughter Freyja takes care of most of the designing and testing formalities while he goes off and fights in the finished test models. He had Freyja copy his brain's memories and thought mapping into a robotic android, and while his human self is fighting in the AEGAKS his daughter helps design, his android self stays and monitors the Corporation and Industries started with his funds and technology. Currently, he Pilots Roxy, the prototype and test Civilian model of Nalah series.
3. Primary -white, Accents - Blue and gray/dark grey
