DOA hero. Even though lights are broken I would have liked to see a light so that the **** storm customers generate would put pressure on pgi to address lights and buff their role in this game.

Sorry, Lorenoob here, is this an IS or Clan Mech?

I find a look at the Engine usually quite helpful.

Why no AMS hardpoints on the variants ?

Can't tell if srs.

Where's the cockpit going to be ? I see two possibilities: one gives the pilot a nice sun roof and the other would probably make the mech live up to its reputation as having THE most cramped cockpit in the inner sphere.

Always like seeing the classics added to the game. And I got a soft spot for the ugly awkward mechs (fingers crossed for Ostroc/Ostwar). Might try and pick this up.

Think Vindicator. . . and one'll get the idea as to why this `Mech is perhaps considered the weakest one of the two combined. Sorry, Russ and Co., but you've missed the mark on this one. A Hermes would have been a better choice of a 40t `Mech. Yes, we have a need of another forty in the game. Yet, the Assassin is rather a bad choice @ 40 tons.

Would be a great mech if PPCs weren't the meta right now. Brawling isn't much fun anymore with your entire team dropping with PPCs nowadays. I'd say the 40T would be great for CW, but CW is dead, so a 40T brawler on QP is pointless, just take a Griffin 3M or Huntsmen for 8 Missile Hardpoints. Really with the Power Creep i don't see how this mech will excel in QP, taking a stormcrow is a better choice for a Medium Brawler on QP.

Really the low tonnage brawler would only work if CW was a thing.

Inner Sphere 'Mech.

Not exactly numerous, but each Successor state fields them.

It'll make for a fun Tech 1 Stock Mech

Sigh, well when I asked for a 40t humanoid I was REALLY hoping for the Clint, but this is a decent second. At least its not the Vulcan...

HEY...

I want a Vulcan

A mech designed to make the cicada look GOOD, and boy does it look good. (Superb art though!!!)

[Kael Posavatz]

I foresee LRMs.

Lots and lots of LRMs

RISING

[Alik Kerensky]

A why bother? Even SARNA.net says why? "The Assassin is a BattleMech that began life because of corporate ambitions and successful lobbyists. Though there was no need for a new medium 'Mech in its arsenal, the Maltex Corporation lobbied the Star League to purchase the Assassin as a replacement for the lighter Wasp and Stinger." Kinda boring...

The Assassin a nice Scout Hunter, I've been waiting for more mechs like this for the scouting missions. We could do with more fast mediums and lights.

You mean it actually has a non cloned history?
