Looks kind of like someone sat on a Marauder.

I do prefer that (looks) than the Marauder's.

All I'll say is that looks are subjective.

As long as it doesn't look like the TRO art...that's patently hideous.

Use your imagination a little bit. Picture it as it'd probably look in MWO or something.

I already have. Like a Marauder that someone sat on.

Not my cup of tea, thanks.

Nostalgia isn't a factor here

Charger or NO DEAL!

How about this. Explain to us why the Charger would be a strong or T1 mech? What would make it a good addition to improve parity between IS and Clan mechs?

I promise we'll be honest and objective as the point here is to introduce strong IS mechs.

I'm shocked and amazed it took until page 9 for someone to start trying for a 'Do it my way or derail' attempt.

I just finished reading a book about the Black Thorns and in it has a charger ... blame the book just like people blame rap music for violence lol

[Clownwarlord]

But since you want me to be serious ... .
The mech comes with 10 variants. 80 ton mech which can have a 400 engine, can have multiple enegry hard points (standard variant has 5 energy hard points). Said to be very agile so maybe medium mech agility at assault weight. Big arms with plates that slide up like the Mauler which can help cover the CT and or ST. Can have similar mech builds to an atlas with 1A5 variant 2 SRM 6s Ac20 and 3 mediums or medium pulses. Can have C3 Slave, can have later tech added to it, and the Kamikaze can carry a sword. Enough said I win sword has it. lol

And if that isn't good enough well maybe PGI will do to it what they did to some other mechs in adding equipment that it originally didn't have (maybe ecm or other hard points)?

Believe it or not, the Charger has actually been brought up before in relation to being a 'meta' mech. Unfortunately, due to how engine caps work, the Charger is really nothing more than a Zeus with an extra 10 engine cap it will never, ever, ever use.
