Well the only real beam melee weapon I planned on making was the beam halberd because well... I said I would and plan to stick to that. Next I will make the Mech sword into a 'Heat mech Sword' because... I said so Anyhow, beam halberd, causes more damage, severe's limbs from a mech easier and it makes an awesome humming sound... well actually it doesn't make a humming noise but the other things it can do. At first glance you may thing 'he used a solid red... that idiot' well actually i used two different shades of red a dark red and a red that is dark but not as dark as the dark red. I used those two shades in a checkered style pattern across the blade hoping it'd give a certain effect but not sure that it did very well. Anyhow, beam halberd, cuts mechs in half, devistating weapon!
