"Girl Genius 'Madboy' Spark" build?

I'm a huge fan of the webcomic Girl Genius. When the artificer first came out, I messed around with it for a bit trying to make something like a Madboy/Spark from GG by concentrating on the dog and using the runearm. I think I got to level 6 before leaving the game. I have no idea what sort of builds are viable now, since the last time I played one was WAY before enhancements.

What sort of build/feats/enhancements should I take to make an arti resemble the chaotic mad science of a "Spark"? Ray guns, heavy automatic weaponry, steampunk robots powered by the warped laws of physics?

EDIT: forgot some vital information: First life, 32-pt build.

Any reason not to do Warforged pure Artificer using repeaters + Runearm?

Besides not having Warforged, no reason at all. I only wanted to make sure that there wasn't anything I didn't know about.
Have any first life human 32-pt builds that you'd recommend?

okay, I'd like to build a Human maximum pew pew repeater (double repeater?) Arti. While I would ideally go pure, I've heard that 18/2 monk is good for ranged. Someone recommended a 15 arti /3 wiz / 2 rogue build, but I don't know if this was a caster or ranged build.

Here is what I have to work with:
- 32 pt
- First Life
- all universal enhancement trees except Horizon Walker
- no tomes

Let's build a Madboy!

You use the word "maximum"... "maximum" for what? Fast Leveling to 20? Survivability? Pure Damage output (where one mistake will kill you, you silly glass cannon you!)? Get to 20 and farm? Push on to 30 and then farm?... each one has a different profile, diff expectations and requirements to "max" it out.

What are you plans with this mad boy? Fast 20 and TR? Slow 20 with survivability? 20 and farm? 30?

The idea is that most problems can be solved by the application of the appropriate amount of DPS. I'll be taking this toon to 20, then leveling an inquis arti to 20 to compare.

Z has a deep gnome variant of robot last i recall. For those wanting something a little less tinperson, and more giant googly anime eyes.
