Local advanced intelligences have graciously offered some spare chassis as combat Mechs.
This can only end well.

Originally an April Fool's squad, these lil dudes will be, by default, an absolute nightmare to play. However, the mod now has a configuration option that makes them actually viable, with reasonably interesting synergies and builds.
Statistics outlined or framed in brighter teal indicate those present only with the configuration option enabled. Conversely, the same with purple indicates statistics unique to the default April Fool's squad. Those outlined with both are present on both, but have different sub-statistics between the two.
Gana
With the configuration option enabled, Gana, this squad's front-runner and tank (as much as these guys can even have a tank), has the Impact Vents, an interesting self-damage weapon that allows you to push enemies with a vortex in a rotation of your choosing. Though low-damage, it's flexible and can often solve multiple problems at once.
KABLOOIEH!
In the April Fool's mode, Gana enjoys dealing minor chip damage to enemies while repeatedly, spontaneously, and violently combusting.
I guess he just wasn't a good Demoman.
Silica
With the configuration option enabled, Silica is this squad's powerhouse, packing both the Osiris Excavator, which instantly collapses an adjacent tile into a chasm; and the Horus Drill, which possesses both flipping and pushing capabilities and can flexibly deal with two targets at once as the drill burrows and resurfaces.
The local attempts at terrain prospecting are going well.
Honestly, I don't even have anything sarcastic to say about the Drill. It's just fun and well-designed.
In the April Fool's mode, Silica is excellent at immediately annihilating themselves so thoroughly that they cannot be revived by any means.
Call today and you too can die tragically in a mining-related OSHA violation.
Prospero
With the configuration option enabled, Prospero is the bond that holds this squad together like the sole half-decade old zip-tie that does all of my cable management. They wield the Cultivator, which rapidly grows plant life, mends damage to allied units, refills uses on limited Mech weapons, and has minor displacement capabilities. As Gana's health drops, Prospero arrives to restore it. As Silica's weapon uses dwindle, Prospero fabricates more.
Maybe the real treasure were the war machines we supplied with live munitions via rapid arboreal growth along the way.
In the April Fool's mode, Prospero enjoys gardening at home, family togetherness time, gardening at work, logic puzzles, gardening in your house, gardening on vek (alive or dead), and long walks on the beach.
Solving climate change, one step at a time.
