Blue-of-Heavens[edit | edit source]
Smack Talk's mech was called the Blue-of-Heaven and was a YES! Power! Close-Range Combat Chassis, manufactured by Pallas Heavy Industry.[5] It was a large, blue mech with very wide stance. Its cockpit was situated in the upper chest and had huge heavy arms with flexible joints.[5]
In its shoulders it had compartments that that slid open horizontally, giving the appearance of pauldrons. Inside the shoulders held comparatively tiny launchers that shoot glass-like, lightweight, reflective shrapnel upward and projecting a massive version of the Blue-of-Heaven that rushes towards the target, with the shrapnel. It was primarily intended to frighten but can be used as a physical attack.[note 2][6]
Its quirks[note 3] were: Aggressive Stance, Backup Reactors, Big and Blue, and Flexible Joints.[5]
Smack Talk hated his mech and wasn't very good at piloting it.[2]
