there are seriously people who want the kodiak over the Blood Asp because of the claws?
i mean, really???
you cant melee in this game, the kodiak claws are beyond worthless.
on the other hand can you imagine how extremely good and competitive would the Blood Asp be with those high mounted hardpoints?

[Mcgral18]

I see gigantic easily shot bombs, resulting in an easy kill.
A glass cannon.

That's goes without saying, this wasn't really an option due to tech limitations (no Heavy Lasers). Easy thing to change (HML=ERML in weight, and are smaller), but not something PGI has done very often (SadCat P is the J variant with MGs instead of AP Gauss is the best example I can think of)

I think you underestimate the hold mechporn has on people.

[VinJade]

is it just me or does the Blood asp remind anyone else of that drug addict king pin from robocop who had his brain placed into the machine?

Claw I always felt was just there for looks as clans hate HtH and avoid it if they could.

as to looks I guess the Blood Asp are alright.

The Kodiak's claws were only cosmetic in Lore anyway.
They're not meant for combat. Just to look cool.

1) It's from 3060. That's almost decade in the future. Yes, I know that PGI handles the timeline loosely. But still.
2) It's very rare in the Inner Sphere (practically unknown during the Clan Invasion).
3) Heavy Lasers are not in the game.

No, no.

The original poster posted inaccurate fan-made picture (originally from MW:LL).

The Blood Asp Prime has Clan Streak SRM-6 rack.

Whew! Much better. For a minute there I thought there was LosTech I hadn't heard of...

[kapusta11]

It is out of the timeline. You can have it, but not before I get PPC Capacitors, Heavy Gauss and Rotary ACs.

[VinJade]

19....
*shrugs*
in ether case it isn't a cannon machine(the OP's image not the mech).

Its picture is op. It needs some training wheels added, and flowers in the barrels.

really?
I was thinking more along the lines of a creepy smile of a killer that would be like it is saying 'you die today'....

I don't know. It's just overgrown Puma. The same speed, more or less the same armor, more or less the same podspace.

.Yes, it has Jump Jets. However, those jump jets are hardwired, not podded.

As a loyal IS MechWarrior all i can say is...How much? i'll take 3 and one hero variant!

[VinJade]

At least the pouncer is better looking and some might add more useful than the Corvis

That head looks like Vectorman picked up a power-up that turned him into a mech. I like it.
