So, I'm a fan of two mechs that, while they possibly could end up in game, probably won't. These being the Wyvern, an IS urban combat mech, and the Great Wyrm, a Clan built battlemech that was one of many models obsoleted by the Omnimechs. Both are 45 ton mediums that I would love to try and copy in MWO, but I have no clue where to begin.

The Wyvern is probably the easiest to copy, considering it's arsenal consists of one LL, two SL, an SRM 6, and an LRM 10. I uses a 180 engine, rendering it quite slow, but this is offset by the four JJ it carries. The main problem that comes with this one is the fact that it mounts nine and a half tons of armor, which is a lot, but the use of an endosteel chassis helps.

The Great Wyrm has a very different arsenal. For long range engagements the Great Wyrm mounts an LRM 10 and a duo of weapons which are the main problem of this mech, a pair of GAA-22 Rapid Fire Cannons. I have no clue how to mimic the performance of the guns, possibly a pair of UAC 5s? Its other weapons are two ERMLs and two ERSLs. It utilises a standard 225 engine, standard armor and structure, and double heatsinks.

If someone could post some builds, that would be tremendously helpful.

The GAA-22's are probably closer to an Ultra-2, going off the relative weight of that loadout.

Ok. Good to know. Can anyone supply me potential builds?
