Anime style Melee Tank Build

The title doesn't really do justice on what I mean I guess but, basically looking for a build that is designed to tank and focus on a powerset that invokes anime style for a big, burly Alien Armor Wearer designed to punch and hit things with a large weapon while being able to move at high speeds with maybe even a energy based attack or two of some kind for theme. I do know the ultimate I have in mind is Catastrophic Pummeling, so that one is a given.
A image of the character if it helps stir any ideas.

    Well, here's a stab at it- mixing HW with a few LS/PA powers:

    (Unnamed Build) - Freeform (Melee Damage)
    v3.43:35

    Level 6: Strength (Primary)

    Level 6: Paramilitary Training (Str: 3, Con: 3, Rec: 3, End: 3)
    Level 9: Relentless (Str: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 12: Quick Recovery (Con: 5, Rec: 5)
    Level 15: Amazing Stamina (Rec: 5, End: 5)

    Level 6: Enrage
    Level 8: Way of the Warrior (Rank 2, Rank 3)

    Level 35: Energy Shield (Rank 2)
    Level 38: Catastrophic Pummeling (Rank 2)
    Adv. Points: 34/36

    Travel Powers
    Level 6:
    Level 35:

    Specializations
    Strength: Swole (2/3)
    Strength: Physical Peak (3/3)
    Strength: Brutality (2/2)
    Strength: Juggernaut (1/3)
    Strength: Overpower (2/3)
    Vindicator: Aggressive Stance (2/2)
    Vindicator: Merciless (3/3)
    Vindicator: Focused Strikes (3/3)
    Vindicator: Mass Destruction (2/3)
    Warden: Fortified Gear (3/3)
    Warden: Ruthless (2/2)
    Warden: Upper Hand (2/3)
    Warden: The Best Defense (3/3)
    Mastery: Strength Mastery (1/1)

    If leveling w/ it, you can train in Cleave early on and then re-train out of it later when you get other attacks to use.

    For single-target dps, it puts up CFlames w/ Eruption, uses taps of Arc to apply and refresh No Quarter (and refresh CFlames), while Annihilate is the main filler attack. For AoE, you can use EWave to group up mobs in a large area, and use charged Arc as your main AoE, w/ Particle Smash also thrown in there for theme. Although you have a lunge that can also ground flying enemies, you can also just get a good ranked travel power (or two) for the fast movement. Gears mostly for Str, w/ some Con and Rec.
