Arent a lot of those PGI inventions/adaptions? I dont think the Shadowcat actually had a hand in BT or Lore.

There might actually be a reason to take an Atlas into battle again if we could do this,...




Most clans considered battlemech melee barbaric and never trained for or engaged in close range physical combat. Hand actuators or not, it would probably be something only IS mechs could do.

Indeed it is since only 2 omni pods have hand actuators for the shadow cat but in the grander picture, it's irrelevant since any variant could equip said omni pods.

Not exactly melee, but if I lose my weapons in a heavy or assault in a brawl I don't run. I try to trap, sight block or interfere with the closest enemy mech in any way I can. Why turn and run if you're going to die of a backshot in 5 steps anyway?(oh my precious KDR, I must try to escape) It's a team game, your temp interference and targeting may pay the team back for the mech you just lost.
