i think “eradication of civilization, but not all life” would be sufficient, probably. it means i get to play with this nice Mecha whilst blowing urban centers to shrapnel.
well, it’s not REALLY a mecha, more a large battlesuit, but it stil works.
it’s about thirty feet tall, and about twelve wide when it stands spread; built like a very hefty linebacker. it has an three-inch-thick armoring curtain hanging to it’s knees, making it look like it’s wearing a giant steel kilt. the operator stands inside a free-motion chamber, with all his/her movements wired to the control system so the suit follows it’s wearer’s motions. all weapons and incedental functions are controlled by voice commands, and supported by top of the line targeting computers and chaotic prediction software. it also has a fusion core, and three booster jets; one each in each small of it’s “back”, and one set slightly foreward in it’s “crotch”.
it packs a hefty armament, too, carrying;
a collapsable 120[sub]MM[/sub] cannon on the left shoulder, with twenty each of the following rounds; HE concussion explosive, sabot armor piercing /w no explosive, and incendiary shells. it also has one plutonium miniature rocket, for all your baby-nuke needs.
a mini-missle launcher is on the right shoulder, with four small barrels, each containing a single small HE missle that can draw a lock individually. the torso contains many more minimissles, each ready to be autoloaded into the launcher.
holstered on the right thigh there are two guns- one that fire light explosive AP rounds at a rate of three per second, and a MiniGun variant that fires small-caliber 9[sub]MM[/sub] bullets at the blistering rate of 7000 rounds per minute. fun.
holstered on the left thigh is a heavy-payload claw-style rocket laucher. this launcher has some hefty ammo, too.it has three small F.A.E. bombs, which are the really heavy hitters. it has fractic rockets, each containing a carbon-monofilament mesh and some tiny iridium beads to give the net weight. shreddy! it also has five carpet incendiary rockets, to brighten up your day.
the last weapon would be a compressed-air blastbead gun set in the left palm. it would have four types of bead; firestarter incendiaries, like they use to start back burns against forest fires; light explosive shells, like small grenades; some concussion shells, which would shatter glass and stun people, but would be MUCH less lethal than everything else; and finally some stungas beads, which would release non-lethal gases that would put all who were exposed to them into unconsiousness, and would decay and dissapate before anyone could recieve a lethal dose.
it’s huge. it’s slow. it’s unstoppable.
IT’S THE DIAMOND X BATTLESUIT!
[sup]ahh, thank goodness for my semi-psychotic dreams of destruction! without them, i could never come up with ideas like this![/sup]

“boosters!”
:FOOOOOSH!:
the Diamond X rises magestically into the sky, as the shoulder cannon swings out and readies to launch a plutonium rocket at the nearest major population center; in this case, downtown Kansas City.
“time to test this awesome mechanism’s capabilities!”
the tracking reticicles converge, and a tone sounds.
“BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”
