Nice...good to see an 95 ton assault mech with lots of ACs in the lineup.

Thank the maker

[Basskicker]

Looks like no if all the ballistics are gonna be loaded up on one side torso... Be ready to see these with 2 uac5s/ 3 Ac5s and ppcs.

BNC-3E - I'm surprised this version get's 4 ballistic hard points! I would have thought that would be reserved for the BNC-3Q

I'm Beyond Giddy.

Had a grand time with a Triple-AC2 / 2x Large Laser BLR-1D build during the tourney.
Now I get 10 more tons, another AC2, and my favorite mech on top of it?

Hope the ballistics shoot over hills better than an Atlas.
Also hope far down the line that we get collisions / melee / medieval weaponry.
I so want to dropkick Jenners and punch Highlanders in the face...

Seems this thing makes the Atlas obsolete.

Atlas-K.. oh wait, you were always DOA.

yeah probably. I wish they would add mech quirks. If they gave the Atlas some innate damage reduction it might not be so bad.

Because of Paul, they'd have to start unnerfing the hitboxes on the mech to compete. Beating down the Boar's Head as it is... is the expensive joke.

4AC/2 + 2 Large Laser/ 2 PPC will be popular I'm sure. At least its in the side torso.

Expect to be focused in this new shiny mech. Much Dakka will make you friends!

Yep. That 4 ballistic torso is target #1 for every mech on the opposing team, every time.

This may help the atlas become more stealthy, "less dangerous".

it really does look like a kintaro.

[Lightfoot]

Looks like a big slow Awesome, but it has ballistics so it will at least be able to fire it's weapons.

[GrandLocomon]

So excites! Much dakka! Very want! WOW 95 ton!

The image is kinds sucky though, looks worse than some fan kit bash [most kitbashes I've seen were better]. Where are it's cool guy sun glasses?

[Carrioncrows]

Alex god bless him seems to get in these patterns that no mech is safe from.

So many possibilities for the banshee head and we get a copy and pasted kintaro head.

[Lightfoot]

I like it. You think it should have a rubber ducky head tho? Just for a change and all.

Well, the hero mech on paper looks like a terrible idea.

[DocBach]

from the concept art in the video of the hero posted looks like the BNC-3S is indeed a variant

[AntharPrime]

For the first time, I have to say that the Banshee is a disappointment. That is the ugliest version of the Banshee since it's original book art.

[Marauder3D]

For variants, my money is on the tried and true method so far, two old and one "new" tech variant.

I'm betting, BNC-3E, BNC-3S, and BNC-5S. We'll see soon!
