#85 King Crab KGC-000B, named "Linda"; Status: mastered

My first King Crab (KGC-000) carried four AC/5's. Tarzilman gave me the idea for this build. When I rebuilt the 000, I put the AC/5's in this variant. But I found out that the AC/5 Cooldown Module can replace the fourth AC/5. This mech can fire with AC/5 constantly and additional to that it can carry two more large laser.


Speed: 51.8 kph (57.0 kph with speed tweak); Tonnage 100/100; Firepower 33; Heat Efficiency 1,4; Armor 560

Std Engine 320, three AC/5, two Large Laser, Anti-Missile System

This mech holds a high score of mine, six kills and 1100 damage.

#86 King Crab KGC-0000, named "KA-BOOM"; Status: mastered

There is no mastering of the King Crab variant without a "two AC/20's" build. This one carries two AC/20's, a bigger engine and four medium laser! In a brawl I know no fear in this monster... even Dire Wolves are just prey.

#87 Panther PTN-8Z, named "Katana Kat"; Status: mastered

Finally another light mech! I finished to master all IS light mechs back in May 2014. Since then I have mastered the Kit Fox and the Adder... seems as the Panther is the missing link between these two kinds of mechs. It's slow like a Clan light mech but it's deadly and it can take some damage like a Firestarter.

This first variant carries large laser due to its quirks and two SRM2 for brawling.

The Panther isn't a usual IS light mech. It's not that fast and it works great with long range weapons. So I tried another LRM build and it works.

#90 Victor VTR-9S(C), named "Vicky"; Status: mastered

Finally I'm a Victor-Pilot!
I love this mech but I never drove it before. I won this variant in a tournament and I decided to master it sooner or later. Actually I wanted to master this mech in the remote future but I couldn't wait.

I learned about this mech when I met my lance mate Hellzero. I was a light pilot and his Victor escorted me (mainly in conquest matches) and destroyed everything in our path. It was fast and agile as a medium with the firepower of an assault or at least a heavy mech. To be honest, the constructors did a lot of changes and it's not that agile anymore but... I was sure that I need to master this chassis someday.

But this was also a lot of pressure. When I drive this chassis, I must not fail! I have seen what Hellzero can do with a Victor and I had the same aspiration for me. Another obstacle are the hardpoints: I hate builds that demand to use more than two weapon systems. I know about the Orion and the Victor as chassis that demand such a build. They can only be driven successfully if the pilot is able to use all three weapon system to take down the enemy. As for me, I love to keep the build simple to get used to it quickly and exploit successfully what I have.
But Vicky is demanding and at last I'm willing to accept that challenge.

This champion variant carries all three weapon systems (AC/20, Large Laser, SRM4) and I got used to it easier than I thought. It's definitely a brawler. I started with a K/D ratio of 4.00 while finishing the basic skills. Seems as a good start with this chassis.
By the way, I chose the crusader camo for this mech. It looks awesome!! As an exception I'm also posting the backside of this chassis.


Speed: 70.9 km/h (78.0 km/h with speed tweak); Tonnage 80/80; Firepower 54,8; Heat Efficiency 1,38; Armor 480

#91 Victor VTR-9K, named "Eternia" 2.0; Status: mastered

Watch this build from Hellzero, his build called Eternia. Gauss rifle, Streaks, Large Laser, Medium Laser and a lot of other stuff. I feel bad when I look at my own build because it's the most simple one of all my Victors. And I made a LRM boat out of it (and a mean brawler to be exact) but... this mech wins battles and kills a lot of enemies! And that's what counts, right?

A K/D ratio of 5.00 while finishing the basic skills tells me that I can't be that wrong. To be honest, I will never be able to use so much different weapons in one mech but that's not my goal. I try to enjoy my most successful Victor build now and I called it also "Eternia", as a tribute to Hellzero's mech.

New build! Two LRM10 instead of one LRM10 and one LRM5 and... it's a total difference! Now it's a hard LRM punch and it's possible to get more than 1000 damage now.

#92 Victor VTR-9B, named "Patrick Kell"; Status: mastered

My third Victor build is similar to the first one, "Vicky". Again I'm using three weapon systems (AC/5, medium laser and SRMs). I used the AC/5 very successful in my Banshees and King Crabs... I hope the same for my Victor build.

The colors are my tribute to the Nagelring Brigade. And it looks beautiful.

This is a special post. I won this Raven in a tourament and it replaced my very first mech, the Raven 3L, named "Archon".
I don't want to change my first post, it was a nice build but I need to improve. Two ER Large Laser in combination with ECM is the best this build can carry. So, this is my new Raven

This last Victor is a problem child. I tried several builds. I know it's a good brawler. AC/20, ER Large Laser, SRM's, nothing worked for me. I built it with LRM's now. I used the number of missile tubes and chose bigger launchers. I can produce a stream of missiles with only two launchers.

#93 Jenner JR7-O, named "Oxide"; Status: mastered

I wasn't able to resist when there was a sale on hero mechs. I bought the Oxide. A friend of mine, Wheels drives this Jenner variant very successfully (with four streaks if I remember right). Due to the reason that I need to get used to SRM's and the SRM4 quirks, I built it with three SRM4's.

Only three SRM4's? Yes, because I got this SRM4 cooldown module and it saves one launcher. I can have more ammunition and more armor now.

I wasn't able to resist... again! The Griffin is my favourite chassis by far. But a Griffin without any missile hardpoints?
Elle Bennett of the 5th Donegal Guards did it and she had her reasons I guess. Following her female intuition, I try this mech now. I will use the medium laser quirks. The XL360 engine will provide the best speed ever reached with a Griffin!

#101 Wolverine WVR-7K, named "Marduk"; Status: mastered

My Wolverines were bought earlier this year, all in a sale. They are the next step to master all medium chassis.

I thought about the glorious times when I started to love medium mechs. My Trebuchets were most successful in LRM-support on sight (with Artemis). First I started with SRM's, then I replaced them with three LRM5 launchers but the most successful build is this one: two LRM10 with Artemis!
