Thats Kinda All I could think of. Originally I was gonna go Quad PPC for the LULZ but that's not gonna fly now :/

So has anyone figured out how to slap together something viable even though we're pretty much forced to run frankenmechs?

Well, this is my first attempt:

Looks like you're going to have to slow down and down-gun considerably to run a Std engine though.

I'm afraid the missile tube is going to give this mech a case of hunchbackitis and make XL engines unsafe.

If that's the case, you can always ditch the missiles to avoid it.

I'm not sure if the Reseen are Modular. From what I've seen on Smurfy the Shadow hawk has really wonky missle tubes. So there might be a chance you've got a barrel on your shoulder no matter what, Even though it seems on Sarna that variants without missles don't have a shoulder Barrel.

Here's my take on it.

Smurfy has no knowledge of any of this stuff, beyond what's in the game files, and all the new mechs have been modular, so the Tbolt should be as well.

So missle tubes on Smurfy are guess work at this point then?

Its safer to assume that Smurfy is wrong than build one's hopes on it being right. Also we don't know what the variants will look like.

And as far as missiles go. I hope that big big missile rack on its shoulder is modular and disappears all together if its not being used.

Having it be modular so it matches up better with variants like 7se would certainly give the T-bolt a chance to have a good impact on the meta.

Edit -
Figured out what I can do it the shoulder barrel is modular. http://goo.gl/RAQyf Double PPC and Gauss at a little over 70kph is kinda scary.
