If you happen to have five or more of them, then you can use the cool word "atlantes" (at-lan-****). Otherwise, "Atali" is not a word.

That is all!



Why am I posting this? Because there are still threads with people asking what the plural is & since it's in reference to a specific 'mech, I put it in the Battlemech Guides section.

When in a premade, the correct word is "A s s e s". Learn your spelling, kids. :ph34r:
