*uses mind powers to make teh devs put all his fave mechs in the game* and now only a Dervish and a Blitzkrieg to complete the set! Although I think the blitz would be out of era IIRC. can still get a dervish though!

Sweet, I really like the Stalker for an assault 'mech! :)
I love this rendering for it by the way, great job guys! ;)
Also, nice story there, like all of the previous 'mechs we've seen. :P

There are so many cool variants that's hard to choose. Still, the STK-3Fb ( http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Stalker ) with ECM and all-long-range weapons would do a great sniper. Oh, that's it.

PGI do love their armless designs, don't they ? :P (Jenner, Cicada, Catapult, now the Stalker)

Thought of it too. On average we have only 10 hand actuators per 12 mechs now.

Was hoping and praying for the King Crab, but I must say the loadout on this thing is mean, and it's much better looking than it's original artwork. Love the stocky look. Never really been a fan, but that loadout is difficult to say no to! Versatile, and evenly spread between ammo and energy based weapons!

WOO! Two of my favorite mechs are in the game! My Awesome and my Stalker! Woo I guess I'm going to be an Assault pilot for a while until they get around to releasing the mediums and lights I want. :P

Would have preferred a King Crab. Atlas is still my Assault of choice due to it's more varied loadout/hardpoint options.

although LRMs, SRMs, large lasers, and m.lasers is pretty tempting

How? How did FD make this look acceptable? When someone copy-pasted this in the SR forums, I thought he was joking around. Heck, I still thought Paul was messing with us when I saw the post. Was not expecting this 'Mech, considering all I knew about it was from someone linking me a pic of a die-cast model of it after saying, "here's the ugliest 'Mech in the BT universe."

If this isn't some E3 prank, then I am thoroughly impressed. Yet another 'Mech to study up on, which, to me, is a good thing.

I am a little confused about this mech. I just don't see the need for it. When you look at the known variants on Sarna, this mech is basically an energy / missile platform . . . and with the Awesome at 80 tons already announced, I'm at a loss as to what we really gained here. 5 tons? That's it?

I really think we needed something in the 90T range, and with some ballistic variants.

I really like that painted armed turtle (or whatever that is) on the side.


Merc unit insignia, the unit Grim Determination.

Called this a while ago.. It really fit the way the loadouts of what they had been picking.

Although I LOVE the fact they put the AWESOME in .. I had figured this was the mech they would call out instead of the Awesome.. Glad we got both.

Now where is my Highlander..?? :P

Kind of why I REALLY thought this would be a Highlander, as the Highlander is 90 tons, and has JJs..

Even though I wanted of all mechs the AWESOME.. I had thought the three assualts would have been Atlas, Stalker, and Highlander..

OH well, I LIKE IT

Woot! I always thought the stalker was not a very good mech when I first saw it. Now I like it and this is going to be my assault mech!

Anyways, liking the atlas: too mainstream.
