Battlemaster looks like the reseen version. Medium laser setup in the chest is different but not bad. Still another great job by Alex.

The Battlemaster looks FANTASTIC!! I love it!! It was seriously worth it staying up this late!!

Fantastic work Alex!!

Edit: I actually really dig the Medium Laser array, and the slightly not so large head!

Oh no, that's an assault mech with high mount energy and missile bays, with arms that have balistic and energy bays. That can run a monster engine.

My mech is getting cored just by me looking at it.

Looks even better than the T-Bolt.

Got to love those stock loadouts.. lasers/ppc/srm 6 then overpowered 2 machine guns.. pew pew

Yeah, it's just going to be an alternative ppc boat for people who don't like the look of the stalker lol
Well because of the loyalty bonus and credit bonus it would be more popular.

Battlemaster looks great! Signed in for Overlord today (BLR is not the reason though).

The only concern left is will ALL mechs in MWO undergo comparative rescale?
BLR must be seriously taller than TDR to reach a similar width. It's 20 tons heavier!
And existing mechs also need rescale badly. No way Centurion is larger than Awesome, but in game he is. Trebuchet is super-large too.. Well, just got to rescale all of them.
Other than that, great job with the designs!

Battlemaster looks really good. That and the thunderbolt may have sold me on getting the overlord pack .... even though I shouldn't

[Vasces Diablo]

Love how the torso energy hard points came out on the battlemaster. Their look on the original art work always bothered me.

[StonedDead]

I will say now that the mechs(non special variants) should be released to the community at the same time as the pack. Or, that the people who buy the pack should receive the mechs on the scheduled release date for each mech. That said, I love the Thunderbolt! That is a sweet piece of mech right there. BLR looks darn good too. I will definitely be getting this.

The Battlemaster is impressively meta-compliant. Multiple tightly packed energy spots towards the top of the mech with some nice shot blocking empty arms to absorb any return fire. It's the opposite of the awesome.

[Majorfatboy]

I don't normally like assaults, to slow for my tastes, but GOOD LORD THAT BATTLEMASTER IS SEXY.

I've already got a few loadouts in mind. This will be the mech that gets Me to try assaults again.

[Ghost Rider LSOV]

Battlemaster looks like a tank transformer. In a good way.

[GizmoGecko]

Those six cockpit-surrounding energy hardpoints are always gonna hit their target...

I fear it. I fear it.

[MadTulip]

Will you be able to buy the same variant as in the phoenix pack also as standard variant without the cb bonus and stuff similar to the AS7-D and AS7-D(F) ?

Will all battlemaster have max engine rating of 400 and if now what will the other variants have?

[Hellzero]

Have to agree with others: Sold: Battlemaster looks as menacing as I hoped it to be. The legendary "Medium Laser array" will wreck devastation just out of the box.
- 'Master' has returned amongst us.... Good work, PGI!

[ReaverLord]

The battlemaster brings back pleasant memories of the origina battletech PC game...You had my money at Phoenix Hawk......

At least an upgrade would be in order.
The newer chassis have more (loadout) cosmetic features.

Hmmm battlemaster dosnt look bad, but at the same time dosnt look much like a battlemaster at all. If by some miracle I can save up the pennies and dimes (Oh wait canada dosnt make pennies anymore, doh) i'll go for the $60 pack, Tbolts got that ugly bulldog thing going on thats fun.
