Looks like a fat Victor.


All weapons in one torso it seems aswell. (This is bad)

Love how this guy says all the weapons on one side is bad highlander 733c , victor ds , these have been kings of the battle field with everything on one side. All weapons on one side bad ba ha ha ha!

You know it really does amaze me how hard it is for people to shoot that one side off. If highlanders victor DS etc had no JJs, those builds would suffer about the same fate as atlases, perhaps worse. But those JJs man...turn those mechs into gods in the right hands. Just goes to show the devs are on the right track by nerfing the assault (and possibly heavy) line of JJs.

The Dragonslayer and The Highlander have smaller side torsos to make up for it though. That Banshee does not and thats not mentioning the extremely penalizing effect it has on mech flexability.

Also, you're looking at a few energy hardpoints in the other torso. It's not like everything is on the one side.

Those 4B hardpoints though... 2x(U)AC5, 2xAC2. That's some solid dakka from an assault mech that could be packing a pair of LL's, ammo, and heatsinks.

I'm definitely coming around to the concept

How do u know that the side torsos r bigger just cause it may look like it in this tiny ass picture we r all looking at u know the actual hit boxes can be different then they may appear. In my opinion they should make this mech have smaller side torsos then u may 1st think because of all the firepower in there and because the banshee is suppose to be able to be a fast assault mech so the Xl option will be there and with massive side torso hit boxes it probably won't b a good idea. So we shall c, side torso hit box big or small time will tell.

I knew it.

my guess the hero we'll be getting will be the sawyer;

BNC-5S Sawyer A customized BNC-5S that sacrifices weaponry for mobility. An ER PPC and heat sink is removed to add four jump jets.


makes sense with the JJ changes coming in too
