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 massive robot hand gripped an equally massive tomahawk.

Alice Sin, you naughty naughty girl!

Fuddly-duddly...*giggles*
