Being a mech doesn’t make pencil-pushing or working on spreadsheets any more exciting. The computer, of course, is powered by cute animal pictures.
This mechanized mop bucket is powered by… er.. the messes it cleans up.
Mech Corp.’s CEO gives the quarterly reports. His levitating bow tie is powered by money, and the design is meant to evoke Baron Harkonnen’s or Emperor Palpatine’s life support systems.
I realize I did push the definition of “mech” a bit throughout, but I wanted to go for the absurd.
