Just reading other posts in the thread as you guys try to describe what it is in analogy form..."Two Mk.Vs strapped to half a Fencer", that sounds like a pretty tall tale already. Give it a few degrees of separation thanks to 'whisper down the lane' and I could easily see forming the groundwork for a straight-up 21st-century Beowulf.
The Mark VII seems closer to going into the OLD GUY chronicles and farther away from Ogre and maybe at least getting into something beyond the CSA types of Bolos
