some will be mad that the stone rhino of the clans isn't the one from the original board game;
but looking at the redesign, i think if they go for the scorpion styling it could be good and maybe the middle canon could rotate side to side also with an actuator?

maybe the stone rhino could have 3 arm


in this sense; it would be very good with the middle gun to shoot from behind cliffs and the 3 guns for shootin the big guns

do you think this mech will make it at the end of the year when the clans get here?
i am excited for the gameplay aspects of this; while i realize the mad dog will probably not be as good as how it's supposed to be, just anothr lrm boat :S

or do we get the original design like we got the battlemaster?

Unlikely to see Clan 2nd line mechs imo. Game balance will get way out of whack.

My most favourite mech (see sig ) and also why i hope to never see it in this game.

Here's hoping for the Bane!

Nothing like a canon build with 10 UAC 2's.

I agree Phoenix Hawk IIc would wreck

You don't need to worry about it making it into the game. It to closely resembles the MAC destroid from robotech and would draw litigation from Harmony Gold.

What McQueen said.

While it technically isn't actually from RoboTech/Macross, it made it onto the "unseen" list anyways.

Yeah there are mechs that would totally unbalance this game. I can imagine 3 Annihilators rolling through the enemy with 4 Gauss each or 4 UAC/20's.

The Stone Rhino - is possible (trading jjs for hm LRM20?)

Dire Wolf Prime:
LPL - Left Arm (6t)
Gauss - Left Arm (12t)
Gauss - Right Arm (12t)
LPL - Right Arm (6t)
remaining:
14.5t
for ammo or additional energy weapons (althoug 6 HPs remaining you could use only 2crits for each arm)
1 missile HP remaining
already 15 DHS on board.

The bane likely:
Dire Wolf - B + with additon of a prime arm:
at least 6 Ballistic HPs....while not UAC 2 - UAC5s are still possible (with enough room for the crits)
