Developers please bring back the atlas linked below for purchase. (Any chance this can happen?)

Hello there... I see you're referring to the Loyalty Edition of the Altas's AS7-S Variant, more well-known as the "AS7-S(L)", with it's Angel-on-the-Chest... While you may like the Default Paint Job Camo Design, that was a gift to those who had made a certain purchase during a certain timeframe. That is an item that was never up for purchase, and will very likely remain that way, sorry to say.

However, that said, you might have one way of still acquiring it. But, you would have to monitor Piranha Games' Twitch Channel (https://www.twitch.tv/piranhagames) for the MWO "Masters Challenge" that they do just about every week. If you can defeat a "Master" that they have fighting, then you get your choice of any Mech you want, with a rare few exceptions (Founders Mechs, Gold Mechs, and Sarah's Jenner). Which by the way, if you do win, make sure to specifically state the "AS7-S(L)" as your Wanted Prize, and do not forget the "(L)" on your specification, so they know exactly what you're requesting to have. I did some looking around, and you can pause on the start of the short clip @ https://clips.twitch.tv/RoundInventiveClipsdadSoBayed (Seriously, that's the URL! No jokes here.) to see the basic "Rules And Terms Of Entry"...

Also, if you only happen to want the Loadout of the "AS7-S(L)", but not the Default Paint Job Camo Design? You can always start out by purchasing the "AS7-S" for (C-Bills), then use the Loadout Info from the Video which you linked to in the first place, and get the Build that you wish to play with.

Hello, D.V. Devnull, actually I was wanting more specifically the atlas face the AS7-S(L) has but the paint job is nice I have the Centurion (L) with that paint job. Would there be any way to acquire that face other then the contest? Or by chance will they be introducing a MK version of the atlas such as the one on MechWarrior online's introduction video?

Also a side note, is there anyway to make it to where the bolt ons stay on the mech whether its hit or not, kinda like going into combat looking bad and evil but I get tapped by team mates or enemy and its all gone.

Several questions presented by the three things you asked... I'll answer them in order with bullet points...

• That face is part of the Mech's Geometry which that Loyalty Variant has specially allocated to it.
  
• I don't know any way other than winning the "Masters Challenge" Contest by which to acquire it, sorry. Good luck out there, should you decide to try for it.
  
• It is unlikely that any new Variant of the Atlas will be added to the game. It already has a couple of Hero Variants now, and already has a plethora of (C-Bill) Variants to select from.
  
• The lighting for the eyes was removed from the game quite some time ago, and will very likely never be added back in.
  
• The Camo Spec used in the video is impossible to duplicate In-Game, as none of the Camo Patterns support that exact paint design.
  
• No, there is no way to force the Bolt-Ons to stay on the Mech. Please refer to the "2018-04-17, Version 1.4.159.0 Patch Notes" (https://mwomercs.com/news/2018/04/2038-patch-notes-141590-17apr2018), and scroll down to the Section marked "Bolt-Ons", where it specifically states what will happen. There is NO way to change this.

...and apologize for the massive letdown you must be feeling after reading all this. Frankly, I hope that some PGI Staff Member eventually reads this thread, then produces information on a way to at least near-successfully produce the paint job displayed in their video, and/or decides to start an in-house movement to re-institute the facial lighting that was present in the past.

Thank you. Atleast you took time to answer to the best of your ability, I appreciate that.

Personally Id like to shoot missiles out of my chest in an atlas vs the left torso or be able to shoot up to 4 lasers from the chest piece vs just the 2. Having this would personally make playing the atlas more enjoyable with a variety of unique weapon hardpoints. If by anyway pgi does read this id love to see the above 2 features added to an atlas.
