Seems pretty cool, maybe a quad-legged Mech? Seems a little bit like Armored Core, but I could go with it.

Must be a late night at the office for ISN!

Comstar must have garbled the transmission, hence the delay

I see a "defend the VIP" style mission in our future... How cool to have to manage a running battle over a 10 x 2km map with ambushes / cover etc. There was a good mission like this in (I think) MW4:V - you had to protect some people in a limo against tanks that kept crawling out of the mountains to blow it up.

Wolf-packs of med and LR mechs appearing out of the woods; high tension as the food deliver has to get to [insert starving city] to save the civilians while the honourable local governor fends off the pillaging snakes :)

Announcing non-playable quad leg mechs means they don't intent to inplement playable quad leg mechs, which is a good thing.

No kidding - not playable (blah), but an AI following a route. Or a mobile command base... or a VIP in a limo. Whatever, but the idea of walking next to something that looks like a bad-*** AT-AT and trying to keep a bunch of Jenners from busting it seems fun to me.

I still hope they'll put in quads one day, a long with battle armor, tanks, VTOLs, aerospace fighters, turrets, tanks, hovercraft, and LAMs. For none mech things I'd be perfectly fine if they were never playable, kinda put a little PvE elements into the game or summoned by commander abilities. But quads and LAMs are mechs so those should be playable. I also hope they get melee in some day,

As long as it doesn't make this game slowly morph into Word of Tanks I'm fine with it I guess.

Description

Created by N&D WorkMechs of Furillo, the Quad legged CargoMech was introduced in 3050. The 'Mech's design owes its development to N&D's earlier creation, the 80 ton Lugger SalvageMech. By 3068, it represents the standard industrial-grade CargoMech used in the Inner Sphere.

The design has been used throughout the former Federated Commonwealth, including the militaries of former Alliance states, mercenaries, and corporations.

The Uni name is its initials for Universal.
Capacities

The Uni is powered by Defiance Motors's fuel cell engine, which allows the 'Mech to carry up to 17 tons of cargo. The 'Mech features two lift hoists mounted on both rear torsos. This allows the 'Mech to drag battlefield salvage when necessary.

The chassis is encased with nine tons of commercial armor, which is also environmentally sealed to allow be used in hostile environments.

Variants
  • No official variant designs have been released. However, development notes suggest that due to the CargoMech competition that N&D looking to created an enhanced myomer or Industrial TSM version of the 'Mech.
  • Uni MilitiaMech - A field refit used on Bucklands during the Jade Falcon Incursion, the Uni MilitiaMech carried a pair of Autocannon/5s and SRM-4 launchers. A single ton of ammunition was provided for each weapon type, and an extra heat sink kept the heat under control. Despite these modifications, the Jade Falcon warriors quickly destroyed these 'Mechs because they continued to use Commercial Armor.
