The she-lion's mechanical horse was porportionally massive, spurting streams of scalding steam from its nostrils. Noxious, black smoke billowing from its arse, the beast looked as though it could've proved lethal even at range. Its body was constructed of metal plates overlaid like scales, forcing like fish as it galloped forth. A perpetual clanking of gears and levers accompanied its every movement.

'Miss Mince Men'

Ah! Now I get it.

Many of the Mech-Sioux sported metal mohawks, affixed to their heads by bolts in their skulls.

The Mech-Sioux chief was an immense man, with a metal right arm almost as large as his body, whirring and clanking whenever it moved. His left leg was also made out of metal, but more proportional to the rest of him. He wore a traditional feather headdress and a beaded rawhide loincloth. His massive robot hand gripped an equally massive tomahawk.

Jackson, you sick bastard!

The mechanical men were easily forty meters tall, and apart from their massive boiler compartments in their torsos, mostly hollow-their bodies being built of stacked metal containers. Smoke billowed from the huge chimneys that served as their 'ears'. All three machines bore the Texas emblem of a cow skull on their chest.

A squadron of military dirigibles floated into view as fast as their propellers would carry them. Each of them proudly displayed the Queen of Heart's crest-a red playing card-on their side.

Alice Sin, you naughty naughty girl!

Fuddly-duddly...*giggles*
