6 energy evenly spread across the Griffon Hero ... probably the best medium hero in the game. Yeah I went there BEST HERO IN THE GAME AT MEDIUM WEIGHT CLASS!!!

Sadly i wont get it till either one or the other happens; Community Warfare is out completely or 50% off sale for it. Which ever come first is how I get it the only difference is the price but I really want CW in full.

[Fire and Salt]

Oh great, now I need to buy 3 griffins...

I'm quite glad that it is sticking to the lore based build. For some reason. Even though... yea I can't afford 3 griffins, time to grind some c-bills...

Finally a Griffin to rival the shadowhawk!

So it's a QKD-5K in a Griffin's body... I'll take it!

Edit: with the double energy slots being in the arms instead of the torsos.

Yeah this is how I am kind of seeing it.

2 LL, 4 ML, 5 JJ endo and all the DHS it can carry.

• Smaller body than the Quickdraw.
  
• JJs that weigh half as much and offer better performance.
  
• Lower tonnage allowing for a engine that weighs less, but offers more in the way of speed.
  
• Better agility and climbing ability with a medium class movement profile vs a heavy movement profile.
  
• Better hit boxes.

What is not to like. Honestly, I see this mech giving the Stormcrow a hard run for its money as top dog medium

Too bad PGI has me soured on spending money with them right now though. I might consider picking it up on a 1/2 off sale though.

Looks nice, just killed a few of them..

i feel sorry for bishop

as for sparky....we had a rough start, but then fell in love!

try this:
SPARKY

tons of fun

[Malcolm Reynolds]

Yeay a weak paint jobbed griffin with nipple lasers. The hardpoints of a early beta light and the max speed of a prettybaby. Well maybe its got intimidation factor with its 81-89 kph off the shelf, medium class armor and light class load out. Guess I will have to keep my x5 , grid iron, goldenboy, yen lo and arrow on the shelf for now cause this things ganna be devastating on the battlefield..........and the quirks oh my 10% torso turn look out catapult. I will give it the speed of 116 is just as good as my shadowhawk and kintaros though.

Yep, that's an improvement.

I don't. I like the Griffin and Sparky, but lore indicates it belonged to an infamous unit:

Sarna readout:


Basically we have mech of a "Bad Guys".

I have no problem with this.

[Gryphon187]

HOOOTTT DAAMMNN! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! OH YEAH! I GOTTA GET ME ONE OF THESE!

Where can I find the lore? I would like to read it. Also, who says that the "good guys" didn't go wipe out the "bad guys" and take their 'Mechs from them?

Oh wow, Sparky! Finally a hero I recognize from my TRO books. Already knew about Yen-Lo and HM from the card game, so this is the first hero since then.

I really miss the card game. Probably the most fun card game I've ever played.

Cool hero 'mech, too.

Yeah, it's same as with the Yen-Lo-Wang or any other hero 'mech; they're unique. I guess if you've got your roleplaying hat on and see one in a game you just assume some enterprising mechwarrior copied the design.

But then again we have mixes of Inner Sphere and Clan 'mechs on the same teams... in 3050... with a mix of factions just duking it out over some random oil wells or generator-thingies.The game itself isn't overly canon the way it's set up, but it's fun.

[Lyoto Machida]

They stick to the lore with a canon hero mech and people still complain.

Deal with it...

I meant I had no problem with being the bad guy. See my user name.

I was hoping for a GRF-2N, but this looks like it's going to be fun.

Seems to be the build everyone is gravitating to. I actually still liked the QKD-5K despite it being a Quickdraw but the Griffin is a hell of a mech and with those hardpoints I'd have to try real hard to be disappointed. Other mechs on my plate for the moment but I will get around to buying Sparky.
