Designing Mechs
Soul: the spiritual or immaterial part of a being.
Corpse: a dead body.
Transhumanism: the belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology.

SolCorps: Colonial War is a gonzo homebrew tabletop wargame based on the SolCorps TTRPG that has been in "development" for over two decades.

It utilizes plastic construction bricks to make the models (and much of the art).

Designing Mechs is a supplement that allows you to design your own mechs – defining their weight class, stats, weapon systems, and specials. Point values for the different elements are provided, as are recommended restrictions that help determine whether a design is 'balanced'. Or whether it's underpowered or an overpowered monstrosity. (Usually the second one.)
