Description

The Hollander was designed specifically to carry a Gauss Rifle into combat and act as a sniper. The 'Mech is built on a Coventry BZK-III Endo Steel chassis and is armored with four tons of Lexington Limited High Grade Ferro-Fibrous armor to save as much weight as possible. The 'Mech has a top speed of 86.4 kph, which is slow for its weight class. However, with the 'Mech's intended purpose keeping it at the edge of the battlefield, the Hollander should not require a high top speed as it is to act as a long range sniper against enemy 'Mechs.
[edit] Armament

The only weapon carried by the Hollander is a Poland Main Model A Gauss Rifle, with two tons of ammunition, which gives the Hollander the capability to bombard an enemy at up to 660 meters for just over two and a half minutes.

[edit] Variants
  • BZK-G1 - The G1 variant of the Hollander is built to address concerns about the Hollander's lack of back up weapons. The 'Mech is armed with an LB-X Autocannon/10 as its primary weapon, allowing it to fire both solid rounds as well as cluster rounds, which act like a 'Mech-scaled shotgun shell. The 'Mech is also armed with two Medium Lasers as backup weapons, and carries an additional two tons of armor. The G1 is an excellent 'Mech for vehicle hunting as well as anti-aircraft use with its LB-X Autocannon/10. BV (1.0) = 768[1], BV (2.0) = 873[3]
  • BZK-F5 - The F5 variant, called the Hollander II is a variant of the Hollander that looks to alleviate the 'Mech's problems by increasing the 'Mech's weight by ten tons, pushing it into the medium weight class. The 'Mech carries a Gauss Rifle as its primary weapon. This is backed up by a single Medium Laser and a Streak SRM-2 launcher. BV (1.0) = 1,084[1], BV (2.0) = 1,214[4]
  • BZK-F7 - The F7 is a modification of the F5 that takes advantage of the Hollander II's larger weapons payload to mount the Lyran Alliance's new Heavy Gauss Rifle, which is capable of causing a great deal of damage at short to medium ranges. BV (1.0) = 1,087[1], BV (2.0) = 1,192[5]
[edit] Related BattleMechs
  • Blitzkrieg - Unimpressed with the Hollander's lack of speed, armor and secondary weaponry, the Lyran Alliance commissioned the Blitzkrieg. Though the Blitzkrieg fails to add a secondary weapons system, it improves upon the Hollander in every other manner, including mounting a devastating Ultra AC/20[6].

Sadly this 'mech does not canonically exist until 3054, and given that currently MWO is set to follow a 1:1 time ratio (meaning one day in real life is equal to one day in the battletech universe), I wouldn't go about holding your breath on seeing an official MWO Flying Debris concept art for it any time soon.

Granted, I would love to see FD's take on it, even if it wasn't an official concept art for MWO.

The original art for the Hollander just bugs me. SO. MUCH. It's just that torso setup is so janky it makes me cringe.

Just to make sure you know, you won't actually see this in game, at least not for a few years anyway.

And it would be interesting to see Ironhawk or FD remake this.

This mech is a straight bad ***.. 360 degree torso twist with an AC20 and 4 flamers makes easy work of energy heavy chassis that are much heavier. They overheat. You run up to the overheated mech and put and AC20 right-in the pilot's lap.

If jump jets are done correctly... this thing will be the only mech I play when it does come out. :)

the hollander is by far the most phallic mech in existence, and thats saying something since gundam has a mobile armor that looks like a phallis.
