I've spent a while online looking for d20 stats for Escaflowne Guymelefs, specially for the Alseides of Zaibach.
Zaibach heavy influences one of the Empires I am designing and the Guymelfs would be perfect to port over. I am curious on how they are constructed and how they respond when the operator moves. It seems they operate based on the when the user moves and was wondering if anything in
the DragonMech rules might be similar to how they function. I was thinking possibly a clockwork like design to them.
I am also curious on the the crima claw would work. Though I doubt I would use that in my game it struck me as an odd thing in the series and figured that it may have a type of low-level telepathic ability. Like it could sense what the user wanted to make as I can't see levers altering the metal at the rate that it changed in the series. Thoughts on that one anyone?
Thank you for your help,

I'd use the rules from UM to make a giant golem suit...
Oh YES! I'm such a huge Escaflowne fan and I've always thought of how cool it would be to introduce guymelefs.
The crima claw always seemed like a liquid metal tool a la T-1000. So, maybe bound quicksilver elementals?
Definitely go clockwork on the non-zaibach melefs.
Also, power them with DRAGON HEARTS!
Kryzbyn I will look into that and see if that'd work out.
Hellacious, I don't think Pathfinder has Quicksilver Elementals. I think that was just Magic, but nice idea. I don't want to bound elementals if I don't have to. This empire follows Zabiach in which it uses science to do
produce results instead of magic.
It does remind me of the T-1000 series. They were a mimetic poly alloy liquid metal which, but I don't get how they were able to control it's shapes and change them as fast as they did.
Clockwork does seem like the best option. As for powering them, I am working on that.
