Are you saying this previewed mech is just how big the next medium mech they release will be?

The thing look to tall you'd need to equip it with only EPPPC, Gauss and ERLasers, as the other weapons wouldn't have enough range to reach the ground.


This april's fool would have caught more people if it had been about a 120-tons mech. 20k tons is too obvious to be funny. but maybe PGI didn't want to take the risk of seeing a huge drama.

Arpils Fools! But seriously, they aren't even time line appropriate IIRC.

It only has 3 Gauss and 2 LBX10 which people would swap out for more Gauss...

And people would hate on 5x Gauss why?

Although seriously, the bigger internal spacing on 110+ ton designs can make fitting them for a decent number of DHS easier.

A bit early for the Grand Titan or the Titan II to appear, isn't it?

There are supposed to be a few prototype titans floating around, but they were never mass produced.

Meh, show me a Colossus class Mech and then we can talk

[Reyge]

I agree with Appogee, and was/am rather disappointed that this was all just an April Fool's joke. I had high hopes for a mech that weighed up to 200 tons (assumed that 20000 tonnage thing was a typo)... bummer. So much for having a walking fortress in my ranks! ='(

Why limit the options to BSMs (big stompy mechs)?

I wanna see Bolos and/or OGREs (depending if you like keith laumer scifi or steve jackson pocket games more ).

Although a warlord class titan from GDW with Jericho horns WOULD be pretty cool...
