Non LRM build looks nice Also worth noting in this pic.

• Woodland Camo on the ® variant (so Yes full camo support on all Resistance II ® variant Mechs)
  
• Ams Location is cool
  
• AC20 in L and R torso = BOOM

[Juodas Varnas]

TAKE THAT, ALL OF YOU, NAYSAYERS!
My prediction based off the orthos came true!


Still not a fan of square pegs in the arms, though.
I swear, someone on the team has a square fetish.

Huh. Without the pods, it looks like a bigger awesome. With better physical design.

Oh, wow - that looks MEAN. Definitely be building mine out without missiles (except for the one with 4 racks).

[AdamBaines]

I can live with that. Makes sense.

haven't been looking around lately? this was released earlier for battletech this year..
High chance of being the next IS pack

bigger question is: what would the heavy be? warhammer or maurader?



this is why we can't have nice things.



They also scream "hey I will kill you at 1000 meters away. nananananaaaaaaa"



R hardpoints? What the hell are those.

I knew about this, but I still find it hard to believe that they will use what we see in the picture. It just seems too similar to the original look of the mechs. I'm surprised the HG hasn't pooped all over this yet.

Still I'm not complaining. I totally want these. I'd be good with the WarHammer or Marauder. Don't make me decide though....my head may explode. Hope this is the next pack they do. And I hope they don't up the price on them. As it is they will make a bundle if they release these.

As for the Mauler... Looks great. Should be fun.

IS is not at a huge disadvantage, considering geometry largely boils down to how high is your cockpit and how high are your (energy and ballistic) hardpoints. The 2 absolute best chassis in the game in that respect are the Battlemaster and Banshee, with the Stalker not far behind. Clan mechs actually tend to have low mounted cockpits and weapons.

The Mauler has reasonable height torso ballistics actually, and a high up cockpit, but yes those missile racks will be fire magnets if they dont shrink.. might be better than getting CTd, assuming you runa STD.

Also, the Grasshopper 5P is an absolute beast. It has literally the best stats of any mech in my stable after 60 games. I dont like the other hoppers though, so if you havent tried it there is that.

Well thats cause he have pretty brutal armor quirks and yes it's usefull but it's still huge, theys mean it will pop like bubble in enemy focus. When you see tanking 35t arctic... this looks like total.... of well you know what i mean, yes? Spider is hard to hit but he still have low dps while arctic carry serrious amount of weapons and have speed/hitboxes/ecm/jets so in summ he can survive more focus then 100t assault if he piloting mech properly.

Back to original subject - yes like Mauler TY for screenshots. Mostly mauler only mech that can allow himself ANY combination of weapon of All types at once. Rocked slost is great for firing from cover still if you get pinned and forced to cc you are done for.

Wow. Ok, they do shrink, this thing is going to be beastmode. AND the cbill variant has 4x ballistic, so i can get +30% cbills with what im sure will be my favourite build.

pleased to be wrong.

Yeah, this thing looks...nasty.

[Nexano]

I hope this great mech won't be more huge than atlas by the way. Screens and combat visual.. They different just place locust near him. Im expecting something like battlemaster. Don't think we need another bricklander

SO. MUCH. NERDGASM!

[Vlad Striker]

I think this mech's effectiveness will be limited strongly by 1.4 DHS . Tnx creators there is no lightbulbs on chasis.

Yay, big thanks PGI for not screwing us over with the missile pods!

I'm gonna love this mech so much it's almost inappropriate.

Mauler looks a bit cold.........

I almost pissed myself I had to laugh so hard!

[_Pickle_]

Overall I like the look of this Mauler, Personally I feel that the Missile racks could have been a bit taller/longer. The MechWarrior 4 Mauler had the long missile racks, and I would be okay with that in the MWO Mauler. I know that having them be taller would result in having a higher chance of being hit in the torsos, but I don't care, I can handle that


Overall, great work PGI! Keep it up!!

P.S "Warhammer *Cough*, Marauder *cough*

[AdamBaines]

Look, if the next pack contains the Wammo and the OG Marauder, PGI can write their check regardless of the other two mechs. They would make even more from me if one of them was also the Assassin.

[C E Dwyer]

its big its chunky it has target written all over it, , within hours there will be Mauler sucks threads..

Still don't like the bullet holes in the ® camo spoils an otherwise good colour scheme

[Hearseguy]

Those AC20s....

[Redacted]

[Wronka]

I was reading through this thread and was going to post that I really hope you can remove those missle racks... then I came to page 6 and..... YES!

Though I didn't pre-order this pack so will have to wait a few months for C-bill release.
