You're a resident of Alternative Earth. How are you going to survive as long as possible? You can't keep the reaper from calling... but you can try evade him as long as possible.
This thread serves as a location for discussion of just how one would go about surviving in Alternative Earth, as well as a frank assessment of life expectancy and how badly humanity is fucked. Due to the nature of this topic, this is regrettably a spoiler zone - it is very difficult to discuss this topic without making references to materials outside the animated adaptation of Total Eclipse. That said, let's continue to use spoiler tags - it's merely good practice, afterall.
Let the posters beware.
tl;dr, as grevierr put it: Welcome to Survivor: Beta. Outlive. Outkill. Outlast.

Since I'm techie in RL, I would design and build dinosaur(non-humanoid) type mecha.
Design a mech where the entire body designed for melee combat i.e. humanoid form is less suited melee combat e.g. tail (armed with multiple swords), arms (armed with claws), legs/foot (armed with claws), mouth (armed with shark type teeth and rail gun), forehead (armed with multiple swords).
I'll pick a modified T-Rex with the body integrated with rail guns.
