You know, if it wasn't for the RT SRMs I would almost say this thing was a Champion.

I honestly think people are just spitting out the names of all the mechs they know now. Apparently the Marauder II is an option now too?

God that head looks so much like a Stinger though... I want to believe...

Something that I'm not certain has been considered is that it could be the concept of the hero variant of whatever 'mech it is, which would account for the loadout that is confounding everyone.

4x SRM6 + UAC/10 (plus whatever is in the unpictured left lower arm) is really pushing it for a 45-tonner, even if using Clan tech and a tiny engine.

Triple barrels is at max a Uac5

The right arm cannon is two barrels.

Is there any Mech currently that mounts a UAC with two barrels in an over-under configuration? I have not been able to find one in the MWO Mechlab. Also the Clan UAC10 and 20s have dual barrels side by side but most the IS Mechs have triple barrel UAC 10s and 20s. I am not sure if that is old artwork that needs updated. I expected this Mech to be IS because the two Mechs coming out before it are both Clan. Now, I am not so sure.

Oops my bad, currently a few drinks in at a mechcon preparty. Could have sworn i saw 3.

Just checked and the most recent currently updated IS mechs have over under Config (Victor Griffon) so IS maybe?

I thought I vaguely remember the forums mentioning a mech getting updated to have over-under barrels? Or maybe that was just players talking about what they wanted rather than what they got.

For the IS mechs, most of them use triple-barrel because they're using the UAC/5 model across every class of UAC and RAC for the most part. Do any of the more recent mechs with up-to-date geometry actually use triple-barrel UAC/10 or 20? I dunno because those builds on those mechs don't appear very often, I don't own any to test for myself, and I don't look that closely at enemy mechs.

EDIT: Confirmed that the Victor currently uses 2-barrel under-over for the UAC/10.



100% match to the Mystery Mech's right arm cannon. Note that it's the same model as the Clan UAC/10 though, just oriented differently.

Now that im looking at it more definitely some inspiration was taken from the Reseen marauders for the torso

Yep, good find. So it looks like it is IS but if that is a UAC10 on it then it is a lot lighter Mech than a Victor judging by the barrel sizes compared to the Mech arm and body. Even if it is a UAC20 I think the Mechs is no more than a light Heavy.

[Khobai]

could it possibly be the avatar?

You're drinking now, too?

[Khobai]

well the avatar has some similar loadouts

I cant think what else it could be lol

The mech I think it resembles the most though is the templar without the shoulder crosses. But a templar without shoulder crosses would be weird, since thats its defining feature. pretty sure not a templar for that reason alone. but its also a little small for an assault as well.

I would say 60-70 tons. if its got a UAC10, 4 SRM launchers or two LRM launchers, and some lasers its at least 60-70 tons.

if its a canon mech, best guess is avatar, lol. its the ONLY mech that fits all the criteria. otherwise its not a canon mech.

Just like in Reddit, everyone is writing whatever they want, like, hope, wish, etc etc... for this mech.





Literally everyone is doing absolute best to deny the reality, bringing so called a reality distortion field generator that appears on Saturday morning cartoon.

We can be honest to ourselves and accept embrace this new PGI original. No need for denying or hate.
