I like the Dragoons logo with an "X" through it on the left arm. ;) I have a feeling I'll be getting lots of those. I may have to hang a banner from my arms. ;)

It was an unexpeted addition, but it looks pretty rad.

This mech is dangerous. You can get some serious speed and fire power if you make it right.

Reminder, this is the most expensive Mech released so far. And the second Liao Heavy.

Looks amazing, better than the original i think. Though i kind of like the Capellan loadout with the PPC better.

I'd be interested to see if the legs and right arm look like a Marauder's, should that 'mech make it into the game.

I had a feeling. This or an Orion. Though I kinda hoped for the Orion more. Anyway, it's a solid 70 tonner that was introduced in the 4th Succession War. I just think it's kinda funny that the art depicts the 1X model, but the story describes the 3D model. Despite its looks, I've always like the Cataphract, and I can't wait to pilot it.

What are peoples thoughts on the next DCMS mech? They have the Jenner and Dragon. A medium or an assault? I actually wouldn't mind a panther giving them 2 faction lights. That would leave Steiner maybe getting 2 assaults, Capellan has their 2 Heavies, FWL could get 2 mediums.

Obviously all mechs are open to anyone, but the C-Bill decrease for certain factions will make it so that stereotypical rigs will be seen fielded on certain sides and pathing people towards certain Factions based on what type of mechs they typicall enjoy fighting with, creating almost "default" playstyles for those Factions.

i'm happy that we're getting a mech that hasn't actually premiered in a MW game before. I hope this trend continues ;)

Heh, what a surprise! Definately not a mech I'd have expected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless. I have to say I like this take on the Cataphract. Looks much better than existing artworks of this machine, but is still easily recognizable as a Cataphract. Great work! :)

Not what I was expecting. I like that the devs are willing to surprise us.

THIS is a design to beat all designs... I always categorized the "C-ract" with the funky / ugly Mech designs but MAN if Alex didn't pull another classic re-boot out of his proverbial chocolate ice cream maker again...

Major-Kudos!
