It looks just a hair too big. I'm wondering now just how big the Gladiator will be when it finally shows up.

Other than that, it looks good.

Nipple cannons would have been better than Navel cannons.

Beard cannons would have been best. But remember, Wave II can't exceed the good chassis limit of 1.


Now that the negative nancies have had their say (seriously, you never have anything good to say about anything, so your criticism is obviously grain-of-salt), mind letting the rest of us enjoy our mechs?

Ultra disappointed in those low ct energy slots. ... That may have just killed this mech for me andi was so looking forward to a quick assault. ... There is zero reason to take this over a twolf :(

Maybe It'll get more quirks?

That's probably good. Such a mech would be horribly OP by default.

Obviously you didn't consider the tactical possibilities in the group queue of a 12-man deathball at no slower than 89kph.

Am I tripping, or does this thing handle like a medium mech?

Given that it has similar firepower as many mediums (or a bit less than some of the really good ones), it handling closer to a medium than an assault is a necessity.

Would not be surprised if it did, as it has a 400XL in it...

That was only moderately disturbing. I had not seen it, and don't intend to watch it again.

I should hope so. 5.2 extra armour is...well...pathetic.

Well, perhaps PGI would give me something to say something positive of? (The Loki, by the way, that was positive)


This is a slightly worse Loki. With a tad less effective pod space (half a ton less with DHS accounted for) equal E slots on the Prime, but nothing high mounted, and it lacks a Jesus Box.


It won't be bad, at least. Just a fast assault, with a mediums firepower.

Okay, I watched the whole thing, and I have only one comment:

WAT

As for the Gargoyle, it looks fun to pilot, at least. Any comments on its effectiveness from me would be a bit pointless, as I suck anyway, but still, yay for speed?

Did you see the King Crab size comparison with the Catapult?

That drives the nail through the coffin of the "Catapult size is fine! Really!!" argument thrice over.

"Boss, we can't make the Gargoyle look good against the Warhawk. We keep losing in every trial run. What do we do?"
"Send in the Atlas."

Thanks for the sneak peak. Non-invasion variants look good. I guess buyers will be forced to choose between looking like a fat chinese kid and being rich or looking good and being poor.

Clan faction camos look awesome too. Would have really liked to see the Clan Wolf one though.

Even the Atlas one, looks like it lost, lol, since it cut out just as he stalled in front of an angry SRM24!!!!
