Hmmmm think this is going to be a no for me...... Now if it had been a Crusader then different story

[The Mechromancer]

H'yup

[TheArisen]

No thanks. WTB an actually decent mech for the IS.

[Mechwarrior1441491]

Nope. Seems we're in a stretch of badly armed mechs.

WE ARE MY FRIENDS!

Doubly stoked as I called it in Jay's comp as first post!

Should of had the Champion LAM as the hero though.

[Jackal Noble]

hey look it's the Nightstar mini!

This is going to go over well.

[Gas Guzzler]

Yeah, looks pretty underwhelming.

Just spotted the Jump-jets on the Invictus, nice touch.

Similar hit boxes of a bushwacker with large shield arms.. and legs for days... guess where my soon to be lower alpha strikes will be going...

if you are waiting on the Crusader I think you will have a very long wait.

interesting load-out on the Invictus, though the paint jobs feel kind of lazy on these in general. Not bad, but ultra simple. But gotta say this was not the 60 tonner I was hoping for.

But it will increase your TTK if you can't load a lot of weapons!

Noep.

1. Not a Raptor
2. Not an Omni
3. Not even an Argus, as would be more period-appropriate

The one can do 1x LL + 4x ERML + Gauss without an XL, but overall? Meh.

Also it looks ridiculous in a way that is not at all appealing to me.

[Felbombling]

I cannot recall anyone asking for this Mech. Maybe a poll back in '15 I don't remember, perhaps? A dev. favourite? Artwork looks nice enough, though. Way to go, Alex.

[Nema Nabojiv]

I don't like the mech since mw3, and I wont buy anything until PGI stops doing their crap, but I am glad old classics gonna be in the game.

[MechaBattler]

It looks like an aircraft on legs. Which I thought was more of a Clan thing.

It really resembles an A10. Which is probably why it has a Warthog decal.

I thought we already had the Nightstar. And it doesn't look like it's hiboxes have improved at all.

[Athom83]

So a 60 ton Nightstar, eh? Quick question; What's up with the arms?

it's had stupid arms ever since it was first drawn

Tbh aside from the very similar albeit rounded aesthetics, the Champion won't suffer as badly from weapons in the arms as the Nightstar does, save two vars.
