Too bad they did not have the guts to build my hero Atlas.............. Would of been a real hero mech then

I run 6ML on my Cicada 2A and it's brutal. Thing does 5-600 points of damage every match. From a Cicada.

Now imagine all that extra armor, heat sinks, and an AC20. Granted, it's not moving at 151kph, but still.

[Hexenhammer]

I'm going to be absolutely unreasonable here and wait and see what the hard points are before I go to crazy over the mech. What I do know is 100 tons is 100tons and there is only so many crit slots a mech can have.

But hero mechs for the Atlas, Catapult, Hunchback and Jenner seems to cheapen the founders mech.

First hero's with 30% CBill bonus and now hero mechs to replace founder mechs with 30% bonus. Tack on the fact that the founder paint jobs are a total mess I'm starting to feel stepped on in more than one way.

Im a founder and I welcome a an atlas hero, actually I cant freakin wait when is it due out??

[Monky]

Currently equals the D for minimum hardpoints available with 8, and is practically guaranteed to run an AC20/Gauss when you run across it as well as likely an LRM launcher (one SRM6 doesn't seem worthwhile).

My guess on practical loadouts is either 1 large laser or 1 PPC in each arm, supplemented with 2 mediums for close range/anti light work. AC20 or Gauss in torso, and LRM10 or 15w/ a light ammo supplement. This will likely be a ridiculously good mech.

Squeel for me piggy.

My money is on 6E points divided between the arms, 1B point in the RT and 2M points in the left.

[Tankerwolf]

Any dates on this one yet?

[Archon]

This looks awesome. I'm glad I haven't bought the Battlmaster for Project Phoenix yet as the main draw for me on that mech was all of the energy points. Now I'm going to wait however and see what the hardpoints for this monster are.

[MadPanda]

If it's unique point is 6 energy slots in arms and nothing else (1ballistic, 1missile), then I'm not impressed. I still don't know what to do with the RS four energy points in arms, how would increasing it to 6 make it better?

[Carrioncrows]

6 energy hardpoints in the Arm?

meh.

Ballistic and missile in torso?

meh.

Possibility of 400 rating engine in an Atlas?

ahahahaa - a dual AC20, six ML Atlas. That would be pure evil in a brawl.

That would make me {Scrap} my pants. Seriously.

No current atlas has more than 8 weapons. ( and that one is limited by the CT hardpoints) I think we'll be stuck with 1 missle hardpoint. However I would scream with joy if it had 2 Missle hardpoints. I don't see that being the case though PTW and all.

Wonder if they will top it off with ECM to make all other Atlases obsolete.

Well that would be pay to play and completely ruin this game DEEEERRRRPPP

You know what? I'm more interested in the music that will be in the Hero 'mech trailer.

Speaking of music, didn't PGI say something about music coming 'soon'? On topic...6E hard points, because apparently the Hexa-PPC stalker wasn't enough. (Sure, it might not be competitive, but that 60 point alpha with an additional 15 raw tons of space to work with...)

I so want this atlas, though with lower arm acuators it only has 8 crits in each arm, so 2xppc Llas is as good as it will get in each arm. Though thats way too hot for me!

Why has no one created a jpeg of an atlas made of premium deli meats yet???
