Give it a go. only rules are Table Top rules specifc. no book barred, no tech limit, no time table, just post a custom variant mech of your own home brew, and show it off!! Please include a short synopsis of the mech's intended purpose at the bottom!

ps: Clan tech on Inner Sphere is fine, and vice versa. Also, Experimental is fine as well. This isnt meant to be a clan vs IS thread.

pps: Also, if you can, give a price tag on the mech you are posting!

Good old Warhammer with Marauder-Arms for PPC/MLAS without the MG's, ammo for the MG's and without the small lasers.
Imstead 2 more Heatsinks so it stays cold.

Can't remove the gyro, muscle can't provide "balance" it doesn't work that way.

Wild Weasel WW-1D

Mass: 50 tons
Tech Base: Inner Sphere
Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Succession Wars
Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-F-E
Production Year: 3049
Cost: 9,257,250 C-Bills
Battle Value: 1,078

Chassis: Unknown Endo-Steel
Power Plant: Unknown 300 Fusion XL Engine
Walking Speed: 64.8 km/h
Maximum Speed: 97.2 km/h
Jump Jets: None
Jump Capacity: 0 meters
Armor: Unknown Ferro-Fibrous w/ CASE
Armament:
2 Ultra AC/5s
1 TAG
Manufacturer: Unknown
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: Unknown
Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown

Overview:
The WW-1D is an experimental Davion design originally laid down in late 3042,
with the first prototype being constructed in 3045. The desire of Davion
Military Command was to develop a mech able to fill two roles on the
battlefield by incorporating the newest of technologies. These roles were as a
long range harasser that can spot for artillery/fire support mechs while also
providing defense for these units in a jam, and to act as a hunter/killer for
enemy missile encampments or tanks.


To achieve these roles, the Wild Weasel mounts two Ultra AC/5s with enough ammo
to sustain a high rate of fire from both weapons for long engagements without
having to rearm if away from friendly supply lines, adding in CASE protecting
it's ammunition from disabling the 'mech.

The long range of the Ultra AC/5s, combined with a TAG and a top speed of over
97 kp/h, help protect the Wild Weasel while it carries on it's mission, backed
by 9.5 tons of armor should it run into something it can't outpace/kill.


A few detractor's note it's lack of weapon diversity, and reliance on new and
costly technology that might hamper it's widespread production should it prove
itself a valuable addition to the armies of the Federated Sun. Time will tell
if this machine will live up to it's designation that harkens back to the
ancient warbirds of Terran militaries.

I would probably make a Raven-IIC (IE, a clan-upgraded Raven-- think like the Hunchback IIC, RIfleman IIC, Jenner IIC, etc) which turns it into an omnimech with upgraded (and lighter/smaller) ECM/BAP/TAG/Narc equipment, clan double heat sinks, allowing it to make room for either extra medium lasers or more missiles. Endo-steel might also help.

And now for a Clan mech!

Nova Wolf

Mass: 60 tons
Tech Base: Clan
Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Clan Invasion
Tech Rating/Era Availability: F/X-X-D
Production Year: 3070
Cost: 14,348,800 C-Bills

Power Plant: Unknown 360 Fusion XL Engine
Walking Speed: 64.8 km/h
Maximum Speed: 97.2 km/h
Jump Jets: Unknown
Jump Capacity: 180 meters
Armor: Unknown Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
6 Heavy Medium Lasers
Manufacturer: Unknown
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: Unknown
Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown

Overview:
Working with recently abjured Nova Cat Clan scientists in secret, Clan
Wolf-in-Exile began designing a mech reminiscent to the Nova Cat design, while
trying to fit it to their battle philosophy and add a strong line unit to their
Touman. Their desire was to build an ammo independent design that could move
around the battlefield with unprecedented mobility without sacrificing armor
and bite. It's also a signal showing the Wolf's decision to help aid the
abjured Clan for it's stance to help protect the Inner Sphere.


While dropping the weight tonnage of the Nova Cat by ten tons required the
reduction of armor, the Nova Wolf still retains maximum armor for it's weight
class at 11.5 tons of Ferro-Fiberous. To help build on their design vision, the
mech mounts an extra light engine that propels it to speeds of up to 97.2 km/h
with added jump jets capable of launching it over 180 meters. This
allows the Nova Wolf to take command of a battlefield by being able to move
unhindered by terrain, and to outpace anything it can't kill by itself, which
should be few with it's built in weaponry of six Medium Heavy Lasers.


These weapons combined with the mech's inherent mobility allow it to be a very
dangerous asset to commanders on the battlefield, making it so they can apply
some serious pressure and firepower in short notice to anywhere they need it.
Since it uses no ammunition it never has to leave a fight unless destroyed,
with 21 double heat sinks allocated to help dissipate the tremendous heat generate
by it's weapon systems. While the Heavy Lasers mess with targeting slightly,
tech's deemed it inconsequential with how good Clan Mechwarriors are at their
craft. The mech can still run pretty hot, but it can keep a high rate of fire
without having to hold too much back.


The decision to make it a standard battlemech instead of an omnimech was a hard
one for Clan commanders, as this unit is designed for front line and second
line use. So far, though, there seems to be few complaints once they get their
hands on the mech.

Eh, since you asked for it...

Spoiler

With Quentin lost to the newly formed Republic, the Combine lost access to the factory of Independence Weaponry, and the associated BattleMech lines, included the Akuma, favoured by the Ryuken-go and other famous regiments. Since demand for the Akuma outweighed the production even before the Jihad broke out, Luthien Armor Works has been eager to acquire the licence, and, after the moderately successful Celestial Dragon Super-Heavy BattleMech, decided to upgrade the Akuma as well.

At twice the tonnage of the original model, the Akuma has become truly fear-inspiring, enough for the R&D team to decide on a name change, and settled on the Miage-Nyūdō, a creature from Japanese Mythology which grew in size the more one fears it. With the OmniMech production lines on Luthien in ruins, it was decided to turn this flagship product into a new OmniMech.

With nearly half its weight in pod space, combined with the spacious interior of Super-Heavy BattleMechs, the Miage-Nyūdō (also called the "Grand Akuma" by some) can carry a truly fearsome amount of weaponry. The primary configuration carries a Long Tom Artillery Cannon, allowing it to cause large amounts of damage in a large area - enough to disable several light 'Mechs. Backing up the cannon is an MRM-40 Launcher, capable of launching a devastating volley of missiles at nearby targets. Backing this up are a Heavy PPC and an ER Large Laser, giving the Grand Akuma the ability to keep firing even after it has depleted its ammunition bays. Should an enemy manage to close in on the Miage-Nyūdō, it can protect itself with paired Streak SRM-6 and SRM-6 Launchers, as well as with a Medium VSP Laser. Finaly, a Boosted C3 Slace Computer allows it to coordinate firepower with the other units in its lance.

The Alt. A configuration was designed to lead an entire lance of Super-Heavy BattleMechs. Its long-range firepower coming from an Improved Heavy Gauss Rifle and an MRM-40 Launcher. Backing this up are twin Large VSP Lasers. Its short-range defence comes from a pair of Medium VSP Lasers and a single Streak SRM-6 Launcher.

The Alt. B configuration uses more experimental technology, including shoulder turrets equipped with the Centurion Weapon System and a Heavy PPC. The Centurion allows the Miage-Nyūdō to disable enemy 'Mechs from a great distance, allowing it to close in and smash it to pieces with its super-heavy Sword. The paired SRM systems from the prime configuration see a return, although they were moved to the side torso sections.

The Alt. C configuration is a short-medium ranged missile platform, capable of launching as many as a hundred and sixty missiles at the same time, while carrying enough munitions to provided a sustained bombardment of up to three minutes, although it'll require a nearby coolant truck for non-stop firing. Backing this up are twin ERPPCs.

Alt. D is a typical sniper, with quad Gauss Rifles and enough ammo for a full two-and-a-half minute of non-stop firing, backed up by a pair of Medium VSP Lasers and a pair of Medium X-Pulse Lasers for short-ranged work.

The Alt. E has also been described by some as "the sauna". Carrying a blistering array of lasers, this configuration is designed for long-term combat. A quartet of ER Large Lasers lets it hit targets from far away. Moving into closer range, twin Plasma Rifles and a pair of Large VSP Lasers lets it deal large amounts of damage while overloading the target's heat sinks. At short range it switches to a quartet of Medium VSP Lasers.

The Alt. G configuration mirrors the Bane 4 of the Clans, with eight LRM-15 launchers and enough missiles and heat sinks to keep firing for over two minutes. Due to the lack of backup weapons, this variant usually retreats when its ammo is starting to run out.

NOT posting because that will give you an unfair advantage over my designs. You're not going to know what hit you when i come out with my custom designs.

Unfortunately i will be dead before I could use Alizabeth's design in this game

Eh, since you asked for it...

Dude, for real? You call my Devastator IIC out as munchtech, but you post a 180-ton 'Mech equipped solely with level 3 experimental equipment? Sort of painting the kettle black here man.

Overview:
Originally a field refit by ammunition strapped units in the field during the
Word of Blake Jihad the Marauder 8S was eventually picked up and put into
production by Defiance Industries on Kwangjong-ni.


Based on the Marauder 5T, the ammo hungry RAC was replaced by a Light PPC in
the more traditional dorsal mount, extending its range back to that of the
original Marauder's AC/5, at the cost of heat. The mech was also refitted with
a quartet of Jump Jets, similar to those of the 5M, adding to its overall
mobility.


The design came to be known as the "Finned Marauder" by troops in the field for
the large banks of heat sinks added to the mech's left and right torsos.

BattleMech Technical Readout

Type/Model:    Aggressor AGG-X2
Tech:          Inner Sphere / 3061
Config:        Biped BattleMech
Rules:         Level 2, Standard design

Mass:          55 tons

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
    Basically a relatively simple refit of the AGG-X1, this upgrades involves
removing the Flamer for a pair of CASE in the torso to protect the mech from
an ammunition explosion.

==Capabilities:==
    Although weaponary wise the AGG-X2 is similar to that of the AGG-X1. The
inclusion of CASE in the side torsos made the mech much more reliable and it
is often a huge relief for the pilot. At least he know he will be alive in
case the ammo blows.

==Deployment==
    Logically speaking the AGG-X2 should have phase out the X1 the moment it
came out, but that is not the case (pardon the pun). CASE ammunition up adds
another hundred and fifty thousand C-Bills on top of the Chaos March costly
AGG-X1. Most minor lords don't really care and they just want to save whatever
money they can get.

    Thus the X2 only see modest sales among the minor lords. However, it
exceeded the sales of the X1 when it came to the mercenary markets which
ironically, meant that mercenaries value their warriors more than minor lords
(and mercenaries are supposed to be, well, mercenary in nature).

At least you won't be seeing mine until after the Big Toaster Party of 3067-3081.
Also, "level 3" tech has been dead since at least 2007.

Plus, do you have any idea how sodding much work it is to work the entire damn thing out by hand since no design program exists that handles Super-Heavy BattleMechs? Plus, the damn thing is limited in how munchy it can be since the base chassis has to be 100% Inner Sphere tech, so no 2-crit Clan DHS or smaller XL/XXL Engines. Or the super low crit Endo/Ferro.

Also, my entry for most munchy 'mech is this one:

Followed by a Supernova 4.

The Drawing Board did Superheavy mechs...

Just, ya know, saying.

[Alizabeth Aijou]

Using fanon rules, yes.
I'm using canon rules (ref. Jihad: Final Reckoning).
It even includes one canon Super-Heavy:

3× Gauss, 2× LB 10-X.

Fanon? I was under the impression they were from the old... what was it called, the Level 3 book that predated Max Tech.
