Well what do you think the new Highlander and Heavymetal Mech's will be like I'm hoping for an atlas rival that can jump!

It wont have the firepower of an atlas, its mobility will be its own weapon.

You know what I see?
A big, friggin, pink, armoured poptart.
Just with 2xGauss instead of only one.
And more armor ofcourse.
And to generalize it - only troubles :P

It's for the Ravens and Commandos shooting SSRMs at you from behind.

It can only have 1 gauss, those are missiles in the LT and lasers in the LA.

Gauss and 2x PPC should fit though

Dunno how dude is planning to fit 2 Gauss in the Highlander, but if he does, I'll be impressed!

Also, anyone else thinking that torso "energy hardpoint" is looking a LOT like the NARC pod on the Trebuchet-M?

If so, 3 Missile points in the LT, 3 Energy in the LA, and unspecified number of ballistic points in the RA. Sounds like a jumping DDC minus the ECM.

How about this mean machine from Sarna?

AS7-K3 - A modification of the K2, the K3 removed the two Streak SRM-6 launchers and replaced them with three jump jets and a Streak SRM-4 launcher, giving the AS7-K3 incredible maneuverability.

It's square though. I am betting it is just an artists decal or something. Also how would the game handle the narc slot if that location also has larger tubes? so if it did have a narc and 3 missile hardpoints there, and you equipped 3 sixpacks. would one of them try to fire out of the narc tube instead of the larger missile pods?

I came to the same thought on hardpoints. Though it my be four PPCs instead dropping one SRM 6

You cannot run 3 ppcs in that arm. It has all 4 actuators which means it only has 8 crits. 3 ppcs take 9.

What gets me about the highlander is those missle tubes on the chest. They are too bloody big for an SRM6 laucher, and even LRM tubes are smaller then that on ever other mech. PGI, y u do dis.
