Cute, with a nice colour scheme.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

Great job man! I like how everything's compact and good colorscheme.

This reminds me so much of my Mechwarrior days when we used ICE Mechs as cheap charge monkeys. Basically they were mechs that still had Internal Combustion Engines instead of a fusion engine and were utility/construction/civilian mechs outfitted for battle. Take a look at some LEGO examples of what I mean from brickcommander.com (although these are at a different scale)

Aheh, I actually had the forestry one. Twas' fun to play as, mainly because the opposing large mech was always an Iron Hawk.

Shut up Silva, you already corrupted enough mechs with that idea!
