Yes but how hard did you look?

*plays moderator* http://mwomercs.com/...nder-confirmed/ have a look.

If you look at the time stamps, mine was created first...

[Tragos]

Timestamp seems to be off for whatever reason. And I didn't mean to say you were later - just that the other threat is for whatever reason already "fully fleshed" so that we might bundle it

[Suprentus]

I'm sure I made mine before yours. I think the first one that Carrion referenced was this one, which I think was posted right as I was creating mine: http://mwomercs.com/...der-looks-good/

But yeah, no reason not to merge the threads, I suppose.

NOOOOOOOOOOO. Don't make peace, make war, make bloodshead, make trolls... where is this coming from???

I doub't the mech would be playing any music, but who knows? Maybe it's something that will come later, but not right away.

If it does play music then I hope it will be ECM cappable

I doubt that. I think it's just part of the structure. It's part of the concept art too.

Ahhh, okay. Didn't even notice there were two on each leg either.

I think it's a sexy beast, though the hero model isn't for me. My fiance loves the hero model though, and she'll no doubt be getting it.

[Dirty Old Man]

Might get it if its about 90 kph with below weapons HP

LA = Missiles X 1
LT = Missiles X 2 ( most probably 1 )
CT = NA
RT = Energy X 2
RA = Balistic X 1

Jump Jets = 4 units
Armor = 450 at least 500 the best
Engine = Up to 350 Standard

I doubt the Highlander will allow a 350 engine. The Highlander is likely only going to accept an engine of 325. That will put it at a maximum speed of 58.5kph, 64.4kph with speed tweak. No way you're getting 90kph in it. Even if it'll allow a 350 engine, it'll still only go 63kph, 69.3 with speed tweak. Also, it has 3 Jump Jets, not 4, but they should each weigh 2 tons. However, the maximum amount of armor you're getting on it is 558. Your hardpoint layout seems like the most likely layout too.

Most of these numbers are going off of common formulas that most 'Mechs follow based on their tonnages. Unless PGI specifically tweaks those numbers for the Highlander specifically for whatever reason, I think those are the numbers we'll end up with.

A 90 ton brick with balistics, missiles, lasers and music!

The model looks pretty rough, so it's likely still a work in progress. As for the max engine size, the table top versions of the Highlander can do 54 kph. That means it likely comes stock with a 300 engine. I believe the max engine size for assault mechs is 1.2 times the stock engine size. So, it could potentially mount anything up to a 360 engine with a max possible speed of 64.8 kph before speed tweak. I'm definitely looking forward to this mech!

It comes stock with a 270, so max will be 320 or 325 (270*1.2= 324, I don't know if they'll round up).

Not wild about the looks. I like MW4's better. The MWO in-game version replaces the rather macho chest of the MW4 model, or even the MWO concept art, with something much less brutal. Here is the concept art from MW4.

The TT version of the Atlas also does 54 kph with a 300 engine. They lowered the speeds in MWO. Still, with a 325 engine, it will be close to the speed you're hoping for (though with speed tweak).

I can't wait to use this mech, hopefully will b my new favorite ,but I will say if u can't get it to fit a 350 or mayb a 340 to do about 70 with speed tweek I'm gonna b pissed!

So, left torso dead = 6 of 7 weapons destroyed. That's sad.
I would love and probably buy a solid assault hero mech though. :-)

looks like we know where to aim already

At least it's a different torso than most other mechs.

I don't think you'll be able to do that. It's an "average" speed assault, not a fast one, and also on the higher end of the weight scale.

They could give a higher engine cap to the hero version. I don't think they should though (cue "P2W" threads everywhere).
