I hope they add the Nova variant with the sword, so I can be Novahkin!


With a Jesus Box.

And Eight machine guns.

Also a spot welder....we can ignore that one. It's pretty badass chassis, though both Micro Pulse and Heavy Mediums.


Very future tech...which doesn't prevent the omnipods...not in the slightest.


Hm...also two tons of additional coolant and atmospheric sealing equipment of some sort on the CT to seal hull breaches. Those 3080 mechs sure are fancy.

Which nova variant is this? I imagine it looks awkward as all hell...

The U variant.

I've never found a picture...but I kinda want to see one.

Essentially a S variant with double MGs and a Sword.

I can see all the light pilots going sheer nutz over melee.
"Mommy that Atlas just kicked me, and now I can't run!"
Although it would give me much joy kicking one of the little buggers into low orbit.

In table top it would fill me with glee when a light got sloppy and came too close to my fire support units. Walk over, torso twist to maintain fire support, and during the physical phase kick the little bugger. A kick from an Archer will sheer a leg off of many lights.

Nothing beats punching the cockpit in of a mech.
Nothing.
