If they can save the Kintaro, they can save the Anvil.

It's debatable whether or not the Kintaro actually was saved.

Made LESS Hideous than it's RoboChimp origins? Yes. Saved? Well, political correctness has lowered the bar for Salvation......

Would love to see your "big thinking" edition.

Nothing really bright, just brute force (AC20, 4xSRM6s).

so requires slow STD engine (70 kph with tweak?) extremely short range, hot running and ammo inefficient weapons, that don't focus damage well (aside from the AC) and have a slow cooldown? Even if I wanted the 20 (In my case, I don't) I'd still at least swap the SRM6 for aSRM4s to be much more efficient at killing things.

ADDITIONAL STRUCTURE (LL): 16.00

With modules and fast fire, I'm popping those SRM4s every 1.75 seconds, in concentrated damage patterns, and my AC10 has approximately the same cooldown. For perfect twist and shoot symmetry. Pls I'm hitting out farther, and even my SRMs are effective farther out (srm spread like crazy by 200 meters).

IDK..I find the AC20/SRM6 puts up impressive potential paper damage, but isn't near the killer of the ac10/aSRM4.

Plus it seems that you either are skimping on armor, engine or ammo on yours. Plus with the structure buffs and agility, that 350xl really makes it purr.

Just my 2 ct.

It's a different playing style. The "facehugger" Orion is not meant to skirmish, but to ambush or join pushes.

For the Orion, I find better to deliver the big alpha and then torso twist, instead of a more DPS damage. The thing with the AC/20 + 4SRM6s is: it will kill or severely cripple most mechs in 1 or 2 alphas (if they are already damaged or if you manage to backstab them).

I think the Vulcan is a heck of a lot more unique looking.

True, however we could easily get both. Ones a heavy and the other (pray that I am right.) a Medium.
The Anvil is just an interesting blend in my mind and is ECM capable as well as a 3050's mech. We really need more modern mechs getting in game to help feel the importance of the timeline instead of wait 10 or 20 years and have a sudden boom in modern tech.

Wow! I didn't see that coming.

PS: it is a so good job that at the first glance I thought: "dang, PGI ninja announced the next light! (and it's nothing I was expecting)"

So trying to figure out some variant options for the Mk.II here....the issue is the Primary and 2 config are from the 3062 dates, the others are all later and the 4 and 6 are from Dark Age plus hard lack of a hero option (IMO would be cool if they did the hero off a Diamond Shark or Clan Nova Cat Warrior)

So besides what is given in TRO's and Table top I thought to theroy craft a bit and looked at Mechwarrior Living Legends for some ideas. PGI might have to be creative here, even if using the 4 and 6 they are still a good ways out of the time line. One thing for a decade or so, another or 50+ years!

Now that's another mech that deserves to be 3d printed... do you take orders?

BTW, I loved your secondary SSRMs racks.

[CK16]

Thanks, If I could find someone to print it I would, but its also scaled largely xD like...oh um....12ft+ tall maybe if 1 to 1 scale? lol

You can choose the size of the printing, I guess. Any 3d printing service might do.

[CK16]

Ok lol, I wouldn't mind if someone took it and added on details though as well. Like the MWO style of detailing I just cant effectively at least at this time :?

[CK16]

You know playing with the MW4 size, and a bit of paint work

Thing is not really that much taller then a Direwolf if they maintain similar portions
