To bring this breed of mech into the light more I thought of a adding more to the history... whether it will be accepted as part of this history or a some unofficial spinoff. I don't care. This mech to me is close to my heart...


3056: Not long after Archon-Prince Victor Steiner-Davion takes command of the Federated Commonwealth, a secret Corporation started developing a a stealth light Mech to help with the unorthodox methods of warfare. Although, no official reports have ever been found, it is later suggested that Francis Devanou, whom mysteriously vanished, also a previous collegue of Gittleman; of Fredonian Industrial Technologies, had being developing these mechs. Although it is unsure of whom provide the funding for this secret enterprise, it is known that only a few prototypes where ever seen behind the scenes of operations of Task Force Serpant & Operation Bulldog. Some even claim that these mechs were first seen trying to prevent the Comstar
vaults from ever being open to the public.
Morgan Hasek-Davion was the only person who tried to expose these covert operation mechs and was later killed because of the knowledge of it.
No House ever identified themselves with these mechs, nor was it ever spoken except in secret as The Anubis "The Keeper of the Dead" Project. It is also rumoured that a covert squad called Nekami used these mech to take out tactical establishments and that the only lead to these unorthodox mechwarrior was what witness's claim to have seen. A few famous bar rumours is that a squad of 6 of these Mechs, on Huntress where used as beacons for Orbital Strikes in which they were well hidden from the enemy, considering that they were right in admidts them. They were later to discover a few remains of what appeared to be a suicide squad. Sadly the chasis of these mechs remains where far too damaged to identify exactly what they were. Until... the Anubis ABS-3L was launched in 3063.

It is speculated that Gittleman, had came across an old damage notebook of his former (missing) collegue Francis Devanou, which had the information of the prototype ABS-A1, which suggests that this variant of mech was 50 tons and only one was constructed due to a few flaws. To Gittleman's


frustration, further information of this prototype is lost on the burnt pages of wind and ash.
Some believe, those found sitting in closets with tin-foil hats, that the Anubis design is due to the resemblance of the Clan Elemental, and that the mighty Horas has come to take them .... to a galaxy furthest away.

The only game this mech was in was Mechcommander 2. There was a reason (bad weaponry, low armor,and rather slow compared to most of its size). Also regarding your title: Osiris was Lord of the Dead, the Anubis was the guardian to the gates of hell, not the keepers. But anyways Anubis did look cool though.

Maybe video game yes. It is a really nice fire support 'Mech for light lances in table top. Fast and stealthy with a long reach. Most recent actually improves upon the endurance and damage output of the original, though it suffers some minimum range problems and sacrifices a little speed to do so. Still going from a quad LRM 5 and ER small laser to twin Light PPCs and twin LRM 5s with three more tons of stealth armor is a big improvement for gong from an 8/12 to 7/11 movement.

It would be awesome if there was a medium version of this. Is that an LRM 15, an SRM 6 and two other weapons on a 30 ton light mech?

Yeah, imagine either a 45 ton or 50 ton stealth mech, and since Anubis is more than ideal for it. A prototype mark II Anubis carrying LRM 15 & SRM 6, for hide, attack & run tactics.

During my spare time at work (nightshift), managed to stencil my vectorised image that I have on my bike
Posted Image Posted Image
(Left) My stenciled 3D version of Anubis Prime (ABS-A1). This Mech is a prototype and only 1 of its kind 50 ton. Like to see a this come true... with not only torso twist but also slight head twist.

(Right) a designed by [color="#888888"]AzakaChi-RD-17[/color] , which I found on the internet of an Anubis and a Raven. Of all the Anubis designs I have seen, I liked the design the most, but I wanted to expand on its chasis, modernise it to my liking.

Sorry if this hurts other designers of Anubis but

All other Anubis' designs I have seen, either look like a Spider on Roids or a snubed nose midget Mad Cat on Acid.

in the language of Arkadian/Sumerian "Anu" the God of the skies & "Bus" was enter or he who enters. This pre-dates the Egyptian culture/mythology.
The point I am getting to is Anubis in whatever culture/myth/religion he is a GOD!
