Internal Structure: Endo Steel
Engine Type/Rating: Extra-Light/280

Geschichte:
Um einen Scout zu schaffen der den schnelleren und härteren Gefechten gerecht wird wurde der Mercury aufgewertet.
Dies verdoppelte zwar fast sein Gewicht, aber das Ergebniss war mehr als zufrieden stellend.
Er war genauso schnell, aber Sprungfähig, und mit erheblich besserer Bewaffnung und Sensorausstattung versehen.

Erscheinungsbild:
Mercury!

Taktiken:
Dieser Mech ist für den Einsatz als Scout gedacht, kann aber aufgrund seiner guten Bewaffnung und der hervoragenden Beweglichkeit, aufgrund des MASC und der Sprungdüsen, auch Störangriffe durchführen.

The other problem with that design is that the Inner Sphere didn't develop the LB-20X until 3058, putting him in violation of the tech availability rules.


Im not all that great with table top. Maybe spent a month dabbling in it. BUT! I have an idea. I will throw up some pic's and you guys can fit them how you think they fit. You all know it much better then I do.

Cost: 15.392.000 C-Bills
Weight Class: Heavy
Tonnage: 60
Internal Structure: Endo Steel
Engine Type/Rating: Extra-Light/360
Cruising Speed/Top Speed: 64,8 km/h (75,6 km/h); 97,2 km/h (118,8 km/h)

Medium Pulse Laser (HD)
Medium Pulse Laser (LT)
Medium Pulse Laser (RT)
2 Medium Lasers (RA)
ER - PPC (LA)
Dreifachmyomer (LT/RT/LA/RA/LL/RL)

Geschichte:
Um die die altgediente Guillotine an die derzeitigen Gegebenheiten und Technologie anzupassen wurde ihr Chassie komplett überarbeitet.
Dabei kam ein absolut adäquates Pondon heraus, welches aber leichter, schneller und besser Bewaffnet war.

Erscheinungsbild:
Guillotine!

Taktiken:
Dieser Mech ist für die Nahdistanz entwickelt und besitzt deshalb auch nur 1 wirkliche ReichweitenWaffe.
Das Dreifachmyomer, die Batterie einfacher als auch gepulster Mittelschwerer Laser machen aus diesem Mech eine absolute Gefahr für jeden Gegner der ihn Nah genug heranlässt und das ist aufgrund seiner Geschwindigkeit zumeist nicht einmal abwendbar.
Ein Tritt dieses Mechs bei aktiviertem Dreifachmyomer kann so ziemlich jedes Bein verwüsten oder schwer anschlagen und in Verbindung mit dem Laserfeuer, welches Aufgrund der unübertroffenen Beweglichkeit eines Mechs dieser Tonnage, meist den Rücken eines Gegners aufschneidet, kann einen Kampf in wenigen Sekunden entscheiden.

Name: Breaker
Technology: Inner Sphere
Cost: 20.017.725 C-Bills
Weight Class: Assault
Tonnage: 95
Internal Structure: Standard
Engine Type/Rating: Extra-Light/285
Cruising Speed/Top Speed: 32,4 km/h; 54,0 km/h
Heat Sinks: 12 (Double)

2 x @LSR-20 (RT)
Gauss Rifle (RA)
Gauss Rifle (LA)
2 x @Gauss (CT)
@Gauss (HD)
ER - PPC (LT)

Geschichte:
Um einen Überschweren Mech zu schaffen der sowohl Feueruntserstützungs- als auch Durchbruchsmissionen durchführen kann, stattete mann ihn fast ausschließlich mit Munitionsabhängigen Waffen aus, dies erhöhte die Schlagkraft für einen fest umrissenen Zeitraum erheblich und durch eine Munitionskapazität welche so kalkuliert wurde das sie für 1 - 1,5 Gefechte reicht, wurde dieses Ziel erreicht.

Erscheinungsbild:
Ein Devastator mit einem Naginata Seitentorso ... nicht schön aber effizient

Taktiken:
Fast ausschließlich als Feuerunterstützer gedacht, erfüllt er diese Aufgabe mit bravur.
Durch den ansehnlichen Panzerschutz ist es ihm aber auch gestattet feindliche Stellungen im Frontalangriff anzugehen, auch wenn dies besser in enger zusammenarbeit mit anderen Einheiten geschieht, da seine Bewaffnung Reichweitentechnisch unterlaufen werden könnte.

Ok, you are a talented artist. Those look really good. Anyways, Jack used info from your original idea to make your 'Mech Tabletop Legal. Personally I would downgrade the LB 20 X's to Ultra AC 10s. Why you might ask? Same damage output as LB 20Xs (Ultra AC 10s can fire twice in one "turn" as compared to once per "turn" with all other Autocannons save the Rotary, with 10 damage per shot), with the added mobility of arm mounted weapons that can fire to the side and straight forward, as opposed to just straight forward. With your original designs, you would have had to split the crit requirement with your torso, resulting in a "torso-mounted" weapon with only the capability of firing forward, which leaves you at a disadvantage. Not only that, but this way you get to keep your actuators in the arms. Believe me you want them, 'cause it's a b**** to try and stand without them if you're knocked down, leaving you an easy target while you attempt to get to your feet.

On a side note, you seem to be a fan of the Timber Wolf (Mad Cat) design, because the torso, cockpit and legs of most of your drawings look heavily influenced by it. At least that's what I see, and I could be wrong.

Also, I hate to be a d*** Mythosha, however whatever language you're typing in, I can't read or understand it. Translation would be nice, if you speak any English? I slacked off in high school, so I'm not even partially bilingual like most of my classmates.

EDIT: Okay nvm, I can really only see the Timber Wolf influence in the first pic as well as the artwork for the 'Mech you entered into the contest. BTW is that third pic your take on a Cougar? Pretty bad a** if I do say so myself.

O__O whoa, your the man! or woman.. i dunno which.. ima guess man. Either way that is a really sick break down, thank you! if the behemoth wins, i think that falls on you because well.. <__< >__> you made it work i just drew it.


and yeah, The cougar, timber wolf, daishi, masakari, warthog (mektek) among other 'bird legged' mechs are my favored kind. I think they are more elegant and lethal looking mech's for some reason. I think human like mechs tend to be more tank like in the end.

Don't worry, I'm a dude :P . I don't know any chicks that are fans of Highlander, which is where I got the name "Connor MacLeod" from. Also, you might want to thank Jack Gallows as well, as he's the guy who came up with the TT Legal specs for your 'Mech. All I did was recommend a weapon switch-out.

I shall take a crack at them for you, and build what I see in the picture. You may use the designs for your own entries into the contest if you like, sharing helps bring the community together...right? I can also tweak any of them if weight class/etc isn't to your liking. You can then add your own fluff to make them your own, I'm just doing the data leg work :P

Ok, so this one on your deviant art is Random Mech 2, this is what I've whipped up for it. Decent speed for it's size, made it a low end heavy mech with jumpjets. Could make it move walk of 6 and run of 9, but shaved off speed for a bit more armor and overall ammo for the LRM (and so it wasn't a dinky LRM 5.)

This one is labeled the "Pred Cat" Pic says 65 tons, so I'm going to work with that. I made a variant without jump jets in favor of it hitting harder. The model with jump jets didn't strike very hard, but then I also loaded it up as an ewar boat as well. (Interesting side note...it's one of the only IS 'mechs I've ever designed with both ferro-fiberous and endo-steel. Usuaully it's far too crit costly for IS mechs to mount both.)

Assasin 2k is what you've named this one on deviantart, and here's a rough idea of what it might turn out to be. Another mech with both ferro-fiberous and endo-steel, seems easier on lighter mechs due to not being able to fit more of the bigger weps due to tonnage limit. (Note, it's heavier then the original Assassin while keeping a similiar but higher damage and mobility profile.)

Remember, these are your designs, I'm just trying to help. Whatever you want changed we can hash out and I can tell you what does and doesn't work, even if it changes based on the "look" of the design.

Redone Behemoth

Spoiler


:lol:

*Edit* He's definitely got some Clan mech influence, but it is used to great effect imho. I very much like how your designs come together and don't look too outlandish, and all work as actual mechs. There's a bit of Couger in that one pic, and a wee bit of Marauder in another...but they aren't carbon copies and it looks feasible as an actual influence and not a rip off. You make the designs your own, and I really like that. Even with the back canted legs on the more humanoid mechs, they look very nice.

This post saved for commenting on every 'mech in the thread, so no one feels left out.

*Edit* Nevermind. Had the entire thing posted up then lost it. Not doing that all over again, sorry gents. Some really nice designs though, so the voting is going to be hard when the time comes from that. I'll probably give my views then on the winners and who I'd select as a runner up.

Indeed. I've got a nice quad mech, but it's not....contest friendly. lol

The only thing I hate is that Solaris Skunk Werks won't save the bloody turrets, so I have to remake it every single time I want to post it... How's this for not contest legal? lol

Doesn't really take long with a program like Solaris Skunk Werks. Though, it was a lot of fun to try to make 'mechs from a picture instead of the other way around, can really give you inspiration and give life to a mech that may be more mundane (I really like how the Pred Cat turned out.)

Remember, made these for you, so if you want you can use them or store em, and even enter them into the contest as yours. :P

*Edit* Remade the Behemoth with Ultra AC/10s, posted it in the big post with your other 'mechs.

Just remember, I only did partial work. You would still need to fill out fluff for the individual 'mechs. If one of your 'mechs win in a specific category, I get to feel good cause I helped you do it. You pictures were the basis for my inspiration, I only filled in what the artist provided :P
