Dispatches from the Middle Circle

to give some entirely bizarre context, nigel farage (extreme cunt) has stepped down from his position as MP for clacton (due to a scandal where he received £5 million from a crypto billionaire that could have been laundered) only to run again so that he can prove people like him. and the only person running against him is count binface. who has been a staple of british politics for many years. and now the british press is forced to interview him seriously while he sits there with his binface.

For context Farage can't be prosecuted for this while not in office. His tactic is to be re-elected to show he is a man of the people beating all other parties (and therefore laws don't apply??). Other parties have chosen not to run ostensibly because it lends legitimacy to his stunt but more likely because it is a Reform stronghold and they are unlikely to challenge him anyway.

Are there any Zaku Tank style Battlemechs? I know quadvees are a thing with their weird quad legs turning into tracks, but thats more like the Loto (Bipedal I know, but still). The only design I can think of is the non-canonical Huntress from BattleTechnology, and as far as I can tell the legs are only aesthetically tracks.

There's the tracks systems, mostly seen on industrialmechs except for the Brahma 6T but that's even more just the Loto as they can still walk

I wish we had some more Ryosuke Takahashi design theory in Battlemech design.
