IDK, I'm kinda partial to the stance. At least it looks sorta like its namesake.

Some of you will know what this is especially given the previous page. The resemblance is uncanny.

To me, it looks like a mech the Inner Sphere made in an attempt to copy a Nova :/

Possibly, but I was just commenting purely on visuals. It just visually looks like a Nova knockoff to me. I don't really care for it's appearance (although I don't mind the Nova).

To me, it looks more like the Puma/Adder.

My first car was a 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 6pack/4spd. Made 490 up at the dyno. *shrug*

375hp at the flywheel generally means watching em disappear in my rearview.

The new sourcebook on the First Succession War has arrived. Lots of naval action, but also new artwork of classic Mechs, including some very cool stuff on the Valkyrie and the Wasp. Really makes me want these Mechs in MWO, even though I know they would not be the best choices at all.
(The book is brandnew so I won't post the images here. I recommend to get it anyway).

That will happen when and if the Linebacker is the next heavy.
