Default Summon Iron Chef: Any thoughts?

Hey people,

I'm sitting here thinking random thoughts, and was wondering how a Summon Iron Chef spell would work.

So far, I've got:
1) Construction Spell
2) Earth Path
3) Size 3
3) Construct
4) Multi-limbed
5) Armed with Ginsu(tm) knives.
6) Supply Bonus (It slices! It dices!)
7) Magical Being
8) Non-living

But the specifics escape me, like skill/Gem requirements and stats, particularly Protection and Attack. Any ideas?

Sorry, here I go making assumptions again

Here's a bit of background material:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Chef

So, I thought, "Hey, why not have a magic chef that can also fight for you?" Here's something to illustrate the concept:
http://www.secretlivesofmobs.com/index.php?strip_id=13

You can clearly see from this that I have no better use for the grey-coloured custard in my head that masquerades as my brain.

Still, if you were to have a magical cook combatant, what else would you put in?

It's a national spell for Yomi/Shinuyama/Jomon.

Const 3, requires 3E and 2N. Costs 5 earth gems, is not a commander.

It's got a mechanical man statline, plus the normal bonuses for +1 size give it at least twice the hit points, and +5 strength. Also, the Iron Chef is clearly very quick moving.

#copystats "Mechanical Man"
#name "Iron Chef"
#size 3
#hp 22
#str 17
#ambidextrous 4
#ap 16
#descr "The challenge ingredient is.... YOU!"
#supplybonus 25
#itemslots 7326
#weapon "Ginsu Knife"
#weapon "Ginsu Knife"
#weapon "Ginsu Knife"
#weapon "Ginsu Knife"
#end

Try that.

Thanks Dr. P.

Either that, or have a Wandering Chef Hero for TC/Jomon, I think.
A bit of Background:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zatoichi

Spamming Summon Iron Chef and taking over the world with an army of magic fighting gourmets seems, well, silly.

Good culinary skills are a rare and treasured commodity, and should not be duplicable with a simple spell (barring Wish).

I'd like to go on record saying that I support this mad, mad, MAD idea, atleast as far as the heroic aspect goes (imo, his name should be "Chef Kinichi" and his creature-type should be "Master of the Iron Butterfly" but I digress...) except to suggest that you leave the "iron chef" or anything else copyrightable out of it.

Perhaps "Chef Kinichi" is a wandering 4-armed Devi (ala Patala) who happened to head east into mainland China, where his journey towards spiritual oneness with the Buddha took a decidedly culinary aspect. He might wear a suit of black plate armor and a black plate cap, with yellow silk robe and chef's hat over, and wield 4 armor-piercing daggers.

He'd be very slow on the battlefield, and lack magic, but he'd be sacred, a commander, and grant a hefty supply bonus.

And morale too. The army's not just eating. It's eating WELL.
