I like the idea of Villain Mechs. Or at least some faction specific ones. I need a reason to hate.

or the Bounty Hunter. Or other notable Bandits and Pirates. I think it would be awesome, but they would nee to be different, but equal to Hero Mechs.

How about instead of a flat 30% bonus to cbills they get a bonus to Kills, Assists, and maybe Salvage

and a minus to capping. Since they are villains they should want to kill and break stuff! If we want cappers, we just need Liao!

[FupDup]

Make a CPLT-NYCT "Nyan Cat" villain mech next please.

Who are some canon villains? Ricol? Samsonov? Waco? That ***** Katherine? There's usually not a clear protagonist/antagonist line in the novels.

Waco is too incompetent to be a villain.

Can't really hate clanners. They're not really "bad". And the there's too many novels from their perspective for them to be villains.

Really the only one who could be a villain (from this timeline) in my mind is Katherine.

A.) She's a ****.

B.) She was a main character that was never the focus of a book.

The antagonists in BT are usually 1 or 2 novel throwaway villains or eventually there's a "grendelesque" novel that shows their side of the story and develops the character beyond a 2D villain.

Edit: Adjusted my B.) to not be a

Possible Villains (taken from 3025 TRO, like many "Heroes")
JENNY UMBRA (FIRESTARTER)
-This MechWarrior is called Hecate by those who know her. She captured her Firestarter while fighting with (Bandit King) Hendrik's Twelfth Red Claw infantry. She scorns her past as a foot soldier, and hates everything about infantry. She is aggressive, insubordinate, and spiteful, but a talented pilot. Her superiors are satisfied with sending her on the deep-penetration scouting missions for which she is famous. Her grey and black 'Mech took a direct hit from a PPC during a raid on Imbros. Since then, the actuators on the 'Mech's left arm have been erratic, making aiming difficult. Despite this, Hecate continues her career as the mistress of flames in the service of Hendrik III of Oberon. Lieutenant William Sanderson Sanderson made his name as an expert city fighter with Hansen's Roughriders. When his beloved Warhammer was destroyed, his regimental commander offered him a captured Firestarter. Grateful that he did not join the ranks of the Dispossessed, but determined to capture a heavy 'Mech, Sanderson is a very aggressive fighter. His Firestarter bears the scars of several near-disastrous encounters.

​SERGEANT JAMES GREEN (JENNER)
Green was famous as the man who led the Death Squads into the capitol city of Kentares. Little is known about him except he was fanatically loyal to Kurita. In memory of the Kentares Massacre, he painted his Jenner black and red. His mech is still in service today, piloted by his direct descendant, Hugo Green.

Lieutenant Sondra Stoverston (VULCAN)
Sandra is assigned to House Steiner's Arcturan Guards as commander of one of the lead battle lances. Her Vulcan is painted a brownish-red and named the Bloodlust after her attitude toward combat. Sondra is a major threat to any infantry unit, with a reputation for killing platoons to the last person. Her skill at the controls of her Vulcan are well-documented. While her commanding officers do not condone some of her tactics, they also realize that she is one of the best MechWarriors in the regiment.

MechWarrior Fadre Sing (CENTURION)
This member of Wolf's Dragoons achieved prominence only briefly, but his charge on Hoff epitomizes the spirit of many Centurion pilots. By leading the assault himself, he displayed faith in his own indestructibility. Although his 'Mech was heavily damaged by short-range missile fire, he managed to push through enemy lines and set fire to an enemy supply depot.

Sing's current whereabouts are unknown. After being reassigned to a frontier world garrison, he left his unit and disappeared.

MechWarrior Ivy Upsalom (QUICKDRAW)
The head of Upsalom's Support Lance of Redjack Ryan's pirate 'Mech force, Ivy is also known as "The Ladykiller". During a raid, she monitors the enemy's tactical frequency and picks up on the female MechWarriors, challenging them to personal combat in her Quickdraw, the IV-Four. Upsalom claims she is the best woman MechWarrior in or out of the Successor States, and no one has lived to prove her wrong. The Ladykiller has more than 30 combat kills to her credit.

MechWarrior Janice Abermann (CATAPULT)
As a member of the attack lance of the 21st Centauri Lancers, Janice has won a reputation as a cold-blooded killer who will risk much to win a battle. Because she will plunge into combat against any odds, her 'Mech is in constant need of repair. In her favor, however, is the fact that her 'Mech is equipped with the Anderson 25 jet propulsion system and thus is not plagued with overheating the way many other Catapults are.

MechWarrior Donald Vincent (JAGERMECH)
Vincent is a roving adventurer. When the Crimson Ace Dragoons, a small mercenary force, was destroyed on Tiber in an assault against House Marik, he managed to escape with his 'Mech intact. Since then, he has served a variety of petty lords and landholders, but his moody nature and violent temper have often cut his employment short. He is most famous for walking his 'Mech through the palace of a former employer after a wage dispute.

The Bounty Hunter (MARAUDER, would obviously need to be changed to something else, like the Cataphract)
This MechWarrior's bright green Marauder, decorated with credit symbols, is a much-feared sight in the Successor States. No one knows The Bounty Hunter's real name, and few save the men who fight alongside him have actually seen his face. What is known is that he is a ruthless mercenary, as infamous for his treachery as for his fighting skill.

Neither the lives of his men nor those of innocent civilians stand in The Bounty Hunter's way as he destroys enemy 'Mechs for the prize money or to sell for spare parts. The credit symbols decorating his 'Mech are a reflection of his own true nature.

Captain Debbie Malgur (VICTOR)
This competent MechWarrior is currently employed by Helmar Vasasek, who gave her command of a heavy recon lance. Her Victor is a 9A variety, which supports less armor on the front torso, mounts twin machine-guns in the legs and carries a small supply of ammunition. Her history and where she acquired the 'Mech are unknown, but her skill is reputed to be excellent.

"Baron" Abel Karmak (BANSHEE)
A crony of the Bandit King Redjack Ryan, Karmak was awarded a "barony" and a Banshee by his grateful liege. Although he uses the 'Mech mostly to terrorize his subjects, Karmak's Banshee occasionally takes part in water raids against House Kurita. A realist rather than a coward, Karmak knows his Banshee is outclassed by the more advanced Kurita machines, and hangs back from the heaviest fighting in self-preservation. His fondest wish, however, is to obtain a "real" 'Mech and thus become a heroic MechWarrior raiding the hated Successor States for loot and water, perhaps one day displacing Redjack Ryan himself as Bandit King.

General of the Army Vasily Cherenkoff (ATLAS)
Commander of Lord Kurita's forces, Cherenkoff's Atlas is seldom in the vicinity of a raging battle. Preferring to park his red Atlas next to a mobile HQ, he uses it only in an emergency or when inspecting troops. The general is as abrasive as he is fat. The current joke among his troops is that the Atlas is the only 'Mech that can carry his weight, and that even its leg actuators groan under the strain.

Villains don't require an extensive book series, any more than the Heroes do. And that is just using one single Sourcebook.
