My main problem with the Charger is that in BATTLETECH it intentionally was given a very minimal weapon loadout because the Mech was intended to fight in Melee combat, which we do not have in MWO, so therefore the Charger will require allot of modification to make it worthwhile in MWO.

Almost all mechs require a lot of modification from their stock builds to be worthwhile in MWO, thankfully our mechlab allows us to do exactly that.

TRUE mechwarriors only ever pilot stock Charger 1A1s

I just want to see a 1A1 derby

Ugh but why is the engine cap for the cool Hatamoto variants so low!? It's an 80 tonner! I can't do a GIGA DRILL BREAK at these speeds!

[Ripper X]

The Chargers head definitely needs a rework.

What a serious misrepresentation of a mech the Charger turned out to be in looks, reminds me the robots from Disney's Black Hole and that was a bomb. On the other hand Hatamoto is just cool looking, reminds me of Unicron from Transformers. Then again it has SSRMs lol which you just nerfed.

The MWO Charger is not that bad, but it really should look more like a larger version of the Quickdraw.

The Hatamoto Chi is for true Draconis Samurai only.

I'm gonna paint all my Fafnirs and Banshees in Kurita paint and all my Hatamoto-Chi's and Dragons in Steiner paint now.

For $55 you get all 5 variants of either Charger or Hatamoto-chi just pick one.

FYI: It lists "5" variants, three core, one (S) and then the Hero, for $55. There are technically only 4 variants, with a repeat one for the (S) version.

As for the medallions and and standing items, they should work on any mech they are equipped into, not just IS mechs.

Could the 3D team make the head a bit slimmer and maybe taller? It's silhouette is a bit close to the old HGN.

Though finally we get the tried and true couple that is the Charger and Hatamoto Chi!

Was expecting the Hatamoto to drop today, but was expecting the Stone Rhino for the Clams since it's one of Smoke Jag's 'mechs.

Nice to see the Charger though. Keeping them in one page is a good idea and it's probably easier to spit these guys out since they share similar parts. Will the anatomy be kept the same between the two? We've seen the Gargy and Exeqt share the same parts but after the rescale they now have wildly different anatomy.

Also, crazy idea but could you throw in a combo ultimate pack for $100? Feel like if people are gonna shell out bucks for them it'd be good to at least have a discount on getting them each 5 bucks cheaper?

I think a Hammerhands would be better since it is a Warhammer with ballistic arms.

I think that the free XP and Cbill cockpit items are better.

wait "Gladiator Combat" ?! could they be bringing it back woo hooo???

[kapusta11]

Charger is in need of some serious hardpoint inflation. Give it 12E hardpoints, make it the first IS small/medium laser boat with big engine. It kinda fits the TT role too.

[suffocater]

Looks fine to me, but 290 eninge cap on two of the Hatamoto Chi? Really? Not even 300?
