Hey guys, first time poster, long time reader. Love MWO and the fact that I get to experience my joys from MW4 when I was a kid all over again in a much more fluid and customizable way with this game. I'll admit that while there are still some things that need correcting with this game (laser meta, figuring out IS/Clan balance, marketing system etc.) I still find the progress that I desire the most is simply the addition of more mechs. I love seeing these ugly old designs on Sarna come to life in the beautiful way that PGI has done. Say what you want about PGI and MWO but it would be hard to argue that they do a poor job of designing our toys for us.

Anyways, I was browsing Sarna today, looking for mechs that are either within timeline or very close and I stumbled across this beauty http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Grand_Titan The Grand Titan. I opened up the page, saw the design, and thought "Oh my gosh...is that Optimus?!?!" That being said, while I know there are many older and more venerable mechs that are probably and should be in the works right now, I still thought that this mech would be a pretty interesting mech to see in the game at some point in time. I hadn't seen any previous posts about the GT in the search so I thought that I would get some Optimus Prime awareness spreading around the forums. Besides, the IS could use some Autobot assistance to help push these filthy clanners back to where they came from Posted Image

Let me know what you guys think!

That link is a blank page on Sarna, so not sure if the OP is being funny, mocking or what.

Ah ha!

Sure why not add it. Relocate those shoulder mounts and I am sure Alex could do wonders with it appearance-wise. Then again an XL400 mech...not optimum (optimus?).

Why so it can end up like the Archer?
