Click on the picture for the hi-res version. Looks cool so far.

No weapon on left arm?

I would like to see an Atlas standing next to him.

Sarna picture for comparison

7PPCs, 6PPC Gauss, 7LL + gauss.

All are doable and likely viable.

6 torso mounted PPC's will be deadly accurate.

Edit: And the same height as the cockpit... well, if you can see it, you can hit it.

lol, concept artist apparently said "screw it" and already put a PPC on the right arm. Everyone knows that LL won't last long.

edit; it's supposed to be a PPC, nvm

The Most Op Mech I've ever seen. Judging on that what I see - Atlas must be able to carry double AC - 20.

But in all seriousness, the Stalker can still boat Lurms and will probably still have a smaller body size + CT hitbox.

But.. I thought the Stalker is traditionally a Missile/Laser hybrid boat... I don't see the BattleMaster out LRM'ing a Stalker.

Stalker still has plenty of missile builds, but yes this looks like a much better energy platform. Of course time will tell how big it actually is in game. To me it looks like it could end up being a massive head on target compared to the Stalker.

Doesn't matter though it's a beast and I am going to rock it all day long.

Yup.

It's definitely time I learned how to drive an assault.

While I agree that PPCWarrior:Online has gotten a little old, you do know that the BLR-1G comes with a PPC stock, not a LL, right? I mean it always has, since the '80s. :huh:

Its supposed to be on the right arm. Just like how the original thunderbolt LRM was supposed to be right torso but the unseen drawing was on the left.

Don't it come stock with a PPC? I thought it was PPC, 6 mlas, 2 mg, srm 6.

Either way, this'n looks pretty damn cool. Be tough choosing between it and a TBolt (or Orion, if its out).

No. The STK still has 2-4 more critical slots (no lower arm actuators and no hand actuators). It's also small and has side torso shields (i.e. tiny CT). The Battlemaster will suffer from its huge scrotch/diaper/hip.
