The source of all truth says it doesn't exist so as far as I'm concerned the Vampire is non-canon and something somebody made up and probably included in Megamek to confuse everybody.

Also can't find it on Sarna, but does exist on UTRO3058 books. If I'll get ma hands on scaner I'll scan it-off for the thread.

Please do. According to Sarna, 3058U's only 100 ton mechs are the Devestator and Kodiak.

TRO 3058 Upgrade? Also has Thunder Hawk and Pillager. But no Vampire. Looking at my hardcopy now.

For being "Online TT" sure seems like there are a lot of off things in Megamek, like weird alpha strikes causing overheating rules and such that get people swearing to all kinds of silliness as "canon TT".

Not knocking Megamek, or at least not trying to, but I've had some weird argument with Megamek devotees over the years. Still, not as bad as some of the nonsense that occurred over with MekTek MW4 near the end....

Whoops, my bad. Forgot that they separate everything into Inner Sphere, Clan, and Star League, not just IS and Clan, and didn't look far enough down on the page. Thanks for the correction.

Now how about a Pillager instead ? ( Devastator works too )

The Pillager loses out because it's ballistics are torso mounted. It'd be fair in game but there's better options than a 100t Mauler with JJ.

All I can say is... please don't ruin an iconic mech by trying to introduce it to MWO.

Just please no.

The only thing that will follow this is that "it'll be worse than the Dire Wolf" by the masses, except those that believe the quad LBX10 stock build is going to be some sort of dealbreaker somehow.

Just no.

Please.

It's going to happen anyways, so.... /sigh

Yeah, I don't think money would be enough of a motivator to join the Billy Mays Clan.

Yeah, the mechs released so far have been ruined. I won't ever be able to look at a timberwolf or a Summoner or a dire wolf or a king crab or a Mauler or a Banshee or a Kodiak or a hunchback or an Arctic cheetah ever again.

Why not? MWO masses have already ruined the Warhammer and such with the Meta Builds out there... what makes the Anni any more sacred to be spared the Meta-****?

Especially since a pretty big portion of the Annihilator fan club probably remember it best from "Bag o' Guns MechLab" Mechwarrior 3.

The game ruined the 'Mechs. People just take the clue.

Stacking the most mediocre weapon system in the game?

Gee, that's going to be better.

All the mechs you have named are already good. The Annihilator, like the upcoming Bushwacker, is not going to do anything of consequence with the game (unless they are super quirked to death).

It's not. TBH, it's strongly unlikely to ever be meta-compliant by design.

Or better yet, plant a better tree.

This tree is very hard to maintain since it's not meant to grow in this soil.

there is a 300 base engine annihilator (the heretic variant used by wolfs drags ) so it would be just about as fast as a fatlas. on the one hand it is way more XL friendly than the fatlas because of its stalker type body, on the other hand that giraffe head just screams battlemaster level headshotting

It would be XL friendly because it would have a Clan XL engine.
