I want to build one of these now

I've been playing a game called S.L.A.I (Steel Lancer Arena International) as of late, and so I've had a lot of Mech fighting on my mind. I mean, I even looked up the trailer to the awful 1989 movie Robot Jox (and does anyone think the game intro looks more realistic than the actual movie?)

Picture my astonishment over the weekend when I stumbled on the following image:



I found this image at SHNELLL, and it really got my geeky-sense tingling. Especially since I know what a Madcat is. (A Madcat is an awesome assault mech in Mechwarrior).

It just works on so many levels (the fact that it looks like the cat has its paws on the control levers is the icing on the cake). I know it isn't accurate, but for the materials involved, it is pretty cool.
