One of the variant has a nice backstory:


Custom Variants[edit]

Great Wyrm Aemelia This customized Clan 'Mech was created by an abandoned Clan Smoke Jaguar warrior named Aemelia on the Draconis Combine world ofRockland in 3062^[1]. She evaded capture by the forces of Operation: Bulldog and found herself alone for two years waiting for word from a now dead Clan. She decided to patrol the world alone, dispatching pirates. She took a Great Wyrm BattleMech out of storage from a hidden Jaguar depot and removed ammunition-dependent weapons, replacing them with an ER Large Laser, a Large Pulse Laser, and a pair of Extended Range Medium and Small Lasers. BV (1.0) = 1,394^[6]

Yeah, but Battlemechs are generally superior to Omnimechs.


You can min max the hell out of them in MWO. Just as the Summoner-D could be an excellent Dual Gauss robot...well, it isn't because Omnimech with terribad construction.

Well yeah. It's dumb but that's the bass ackwards system we haz.

I literally listed all the Second line clan mechs i could find, not whether time appropriate or not.

As for the Galahad = Glass Spider which is a Clan mech

I really like your list. It shows what options we have.

Not sure why the decision was to go for the IIC version of in-game IS mechs then totally new mechs in particular Kodiak?

We seem to be introducing another additional issues requiring balancing. Hopefully the in game BV system will work out.

More (clan) meat to me.

So many of the old MW4 designs were great. Too bad that design won't be use.
