So the Mauler was more like "nah o.k. it is the first mech of the Resistance two Pack, it can be sh1tty, lets hope for the other ones", but now with the Black Knight half of the Resistance two mechs are pure crap - also compared to Resistance 1.

First of all the Mech Model, you guys removed half of the Concept Art look, the height, the lower arm weapon section and the entire upper torso section... that awkward "Executioner-Back-Pack" not mentioned.

Secondly the performance, one cannot really cool down this Mech, it's CT is larger than catapult ones and weapon locations are lower than the arms of a cataphract = completely worthless.

Sorry guys, but what is this so called "resistance"? against clan mechs? Hell no!

The Mauler isn't a bad mech. It's not a great mech, but it's not a bad mech. It has some variants that have some really solid quirks, such as the 2p and the 1p. The other two aren't anywhere near as solid quirk wise, but the 1p and 2p are good. Ballistics are high mounted which is a plus, but the lasers aren't which is a bummer.

The black knight on the other hand needs help, badly. CT way too big, very weak quirks, only energy hard points, extremely low slung weapons except for 1 whole head laser that allows you to put a single med pulse in it.

I say DON'T fix the geometry. Just give it a nice big armor quirk on the CT and give all BK variants some solid energy heat reduction. Let it remain XL friendly instead of obliterating any real potential this mech has by forcing it to take a std engine, just give it a boost to its longevity by making the CT tougher to kill like they did for the Nova.

Nah... I've stopped playing this handicapped Mech... maybe later...

The Black Knight... Three different versions of the Awesome 8Q, basically. All energy, lousy hitboxes, and low-mounted weapon hardpoints, aside from that little head mount.

Worthless, sadly.
