Imagine ...an Annihilator (or an Annihilator IIC even) with 4 Ultra AC/20's. One Hundred Sixty points of pure dakka goodness. I'm gonna have to dig up HMP and see if that could even fit. I know 4 Ultra A/C10's would for sure. But just imagine that for a second. BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM pile of scrap in front of it. Joy.

Not quite the same picture as I see on Sarna, but its a good one.

100 Ton chassis, 200 rating engine I think on all

For hardpoints at minimum:

ANH-1A
4x LBX10, 4x ML
RA Ballistic, energy
RT Ballistic
CT 2 Energy
LT Ballistic
LA Ballistic, Energy

ANH-1E (probably would be one of the most used)
4x PPC 4x ML + 41 Heat Sinks (singles)
RA 2 Energy
RT Energy
CT 2 Energy
LR Energy
LA 2 Energy

ANH-1G (the most gimp'd)
variant with one ERPPC and 3x Gauss (6x tons ammo) using only 10 Double Heat Sinks - that is a standard build
RA Ballistic
RT Ballistic
CT (nothing?)
LT Energy
LA Ballistic

ANH-1X (the most adjustable and another most used)
head mounted Small Laser, 4x LBX-10 (6 tons of ammo and two CASE), pair of Small Pulse Lasers and four Medium Lasers with 10 double Heat Sinks
Heat Energy
RA Ballistic, Energy
RT Ballistic, 2 Energy
CT 2 Energy
LT Ballistic, 2 Energy
LA Ballistic Energy

ANH-2AX (the most restrictive)
19 tons of Laser Reflective Armor and several Armored Components to increase battlefield longevity (Sensors, Life Support and Cockpit). Original weapons replaced with a pair of Improved Heavy Gauss Rifles. Its ammunition was located in its arms but a pair of CASE in the torsos.
RT Ballistic
LT Ballistic

ANH-3A
Standard came with maxed out Armor thanks to Double Heat Sinks. 4x ER Medium Lasers and 8x Light AC-2s with a Targeting Computer. Only mentioned ample AC ammo, but enough for it to be very effective.
RA Ballistic, Energy
RT 3 Ballistic
CT 2 Energy
LT 3 Ballistic
LA Ballistic, Energy

ANH-4A
2 LBX-10 and 2x Heavy PPC with 2x Light AC-2. It came with a Compact Gyro to free up room for 15 Double Heat Sinks.
RA Ballistic, Energy
RT Ballistic
LT Ballistic
LA Ballistic, Energy

Annihilator C
Built with only Clan Tech and used exclusively by the Wolf's Dragoons. Maximum speed could hit 54kph and armed with four Ultra AC-10s and 4x ERMLs.
RA Ballistic, Energy
RT Ballistic
CT 2 Energy
LT Ballistic
LA Ballistic, Energy

Annihilator C2
Another variant with only Clan Tech, but only had the standard 32.4 speed like the rest. It had reduced armor but 4x Gauss (10 tons ammo) with an ERPPC in the CT and a head mounted ER Small Laser.Endo Steel internal structure and CASE.
H Energy
RA Ballistic
RT Ballistic
CT 2 Energy
LT Ballistic

According to our current game, the stock mech variants are broken.

It's ridiculous that the "most gimped" version of that mech would put all other mechs to shame in a stock build, never mind custom. While I'd love the mech, there's no way it wouldn't break the game.

Nope, found it:

Annihilator Bryan "Gausszilla" - Apparently based on the Annihilator C2, this variant carried five Gauss Rifles. In addition to the standard Gauss Rifle layout, a fifth Gauss Rifle was fitted to the right torso. This variant only had eight tons of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 2, 455[13] It is a nod to Bryan Nystul's (non-canonical) Gausszilla design.

It's interesting, that's for sure; it would have to do that crit-abomination thing the King Crab patented with it's split location AC20's.

All superseded with this awesome fact; you could very, very comfortably get 5 UAC5s in there. Just picture that. Even with jamming, odds are that there would be around 3 up and running at any given time, spewing screen shaking, completely innacurate jet limb-shredding dakka all over the place.

75t of Gauss + 8t ammo = 83 tonnes, plus a VW beetle engine crammed in there somewhere, giving you a max speed of about 1km/year.

5 UAC5 =45t, plus space for CRAPLOADS of ammo.

And, if by some stroke of fate there was an extra ballistic slot there somewhere...

6 UAC5=54t. GLORIOUS.

SNAP!

[Deathlike]

Whenever this is released (if ever), it would be glorious.

It puts all stock mech designs in every mech released so far to shame (well, maybe not, but it would be an improvement).

Kiiyor, on 09 July 2013 - 02:49 AM, said:

Screw that. The only thing I will cram in that will be dakka. Obscene amounts of dakka. 4UAC5s and two AC2s. 6 AC5s. I want to keep ammunition companies in business with my mech alone. I want the TF2 heavy to gaze at my mech in rapt adoration before shedding a single tear in pure, childlike joy. I want the new, awesomely loud sound effects to create a harmonic reverberation in my head that causes my ears to bleed and my fillings to fall out, while I cry tears of joyous blood. Lasers will be afterthoughts. If I could trade a laser hardpoint for an MG, I would. I want to throw so much dakka down range that ORKS think I have gone too far. I want people on the receiving end to be so shaken that they feel the need to create a new collective noun to describe what they were hit with, because 'torrent' and '****-load' don't do it justice. I want a lance of boom Yagers to see my loadout, and decide that discretion is the better part of valour. Dakkaphracts will worship me as their king.

Speed will be an afterthought. Armour and gun are all that matters. Gun so I can smite my enemies, armour so I can spread the joyous gift of dakka to all that I can for as long as I can.

Pure poetry

Chew on that one.

[Lootee]

The Kraken will be better in almost every way.

14 ballistic points or 8 missile. King of the boats.

The possibilities for lulz are endless: 4 gauss rifles, 14 UAC/2, 14 machineguns, 3 UAC/20, 8 streak SRM6s, 8 LRM20s with no min range, 8 ATM9s with high explosive missiles.
