Battlemaster - 85 Ton Assault Battlemech:

[Xeno Phalcon]

Hard to tell with all these dynamic angles there using but, battlemaster might actually be shorter than a kintaro heh.

[MisterPlanetarian]

Looks great. Seems like a short assault 'mech which is nice.

Edit: No Internal View?

Nice, it's relatively compact, at the same time it is a non-xl friendly mech as the Stalker.

No assault mech in MWO is really XL friendly aside from the Victor because they can't bring enough firepower to warrant the loss of zombiemode.

not going to hold my breath. Catapults are pretty freaking tall to the top of the launchers.

[LiGhtningFF13]

My favorite one (after the shadow hawk of course!)

[Glaive-]

Seems rather small to me. Looks like it's about the same size as the Thunderbolt, maybe just slightly taller.

[SgtMagor]

would be kewl if we could get an in game screen of all the PP mechs together.

[Jin Ma]

I wish the Awesome was that compact for 80 tons...............

So a Stalker is XL-engine friendly? Yeah as XL-friendly as the Atlas and Hunchback...
Dragons and Catapults are for example...

He probably means from the front its a little better for a Stalker. But, XL's on Stalker's and Atlas are better when staying at long distance, which is how their original stock builds are intended (since they mount very long range weapons).

My bad this was an italtypo, the meaning was that it should never go xl engine as the stalker (talking about the other 85 tonner we already have).

And tbh, even dragons aren't that xl friendly at high levels, any good one will side you without even bothering to go for the ct, making the poor dragon even more obsolete :/

Lose the RT of a sniper highlander.. then being alive and weaponsless isn't that useful unless you want to use a 90 ton 60 kph thing to go to the enemy cap..

Really not a big fan of Xl assaults but I thought it had a rating of 400 max engine so that thing can do what 85 kph huge arms for blocking used right may not be too bad an Idea for an Xl time will tell
