Colossal class Mechs were built in the Dark Age, they exceeded 100 tons.

there *aren't* any larger 'Mechs yet.

Fixed.

>100-tonne 'mechs are produced, but waaaaay down the timeline. The earliest 'mech that "worked" came in during 3076 - the 150T Omega. Some of the 'superheavy' chassis canonicity has been questioned, though.

Omega .. I still need to take a better pic of it.

[Karl Streiger]

Wrong all of you are wrong...
the first super heavy was the Matar - http://www.sarna.net...28BattleMech%29
even the Fafnir was planed at superheavy.

Although no SuperHeavy can ever jump - refering to Final Reckoning and FM 3145 - so smurfy is a typo

nice aprils fools orca picture (used allready twice)

The Matar was never put into production though, so technically it never was a real Mech- just an engineer's dream. The Stone Rhino(Behemoth) Clan Mech that was made out of the Matar's design was only a 100 tonner.

Omega, circa 3076, was the first super-heavy Mech. Even though it was a prototype, thirty Mechs were put into production, compared to none for the Matar. http://www.sarna.net...ega_(BattleMech)

Well, theres the;
Orca (April fools joke Mech)
Matar (Failed mech design wich could not even move on its own)
Omega aka Gausszilla if I remember correctly (The first IS mech able to mount a Gauss in the Centre torso)
http://www.sarna.net...ga_(BattleMech)
and the Ares 150t three legged Mech with 3 pilots
http://www.sarna.net...es_(BattleMech)
which actually went into production (although the factory was never found) adn had a few variants. This mech agian is well out of the current MWO timeline (3132) and does not have jumpjets either.

the orca is the only 200 ton mech however.

[tucsonspeed6]

I've heard rumors that there's movement by house Steiner scientists to double the effectiveness of atlas scout lances by fusing two atlai into one 200 ton 'super-scout' called the "Atlas-Centepede"

It isn't Canon, though.

Btw, the Ares is 125-135 tons (depending on the variant), not 150 tons. Why are people always claiming it's 150 tons?

Dunno maybe because the Omega is 150tons.
The Ares with 125tons is called Poseidon

[Nebfer]

The currently only known Super heavy mechs are the 150 ton WoB Omega of 3076 time frame, and the 3145 ROTS Poseidon at 125 tons and the 135 ton Ares. Though the SLDF Matar and the ROTS Orca (mentioned in the Poseidons TRO entry) But I doubt the Orca would be like it's well known fools day joke counter part (stated to be based off the Omega, and more of a test bed)
