So, another IIC for January?

Sure hope so. I hope we get a decent amount of IIC's in early 2019.

The closest thing to a Catapult IIC that exists in the BT universe is the Mad Cat.

I got the tws and I have one set up with lrm 10x4 lovingly named alpine in snow camo. Never really got into bt/mw till mwo. I did rent the horrible snes/geneis bt-mw games back in the day. The whole is name for clan mech can get confusing.

Then it wouldn't be a Rifleman IIC, would it?

Phoenix Hawk's back pack was tapered down. Blood Asp's ST racks were tapered down. They are still recognizable.

Make rifleman 2c giant radar dish a bolt-on. BOOM, problem solved

I am surprised nobody wanted an Imp.

Used to be quite the iconic mech.

How? When? Uncommon in tabletop, and has never appeared in MechWarrior game to date.

You are right about the Mechwarrior game, but the Mechwarrior game was not the only Stompy Robot Battletech game. There was a Simulation version of 'Mechwarrior'. And the Imp was a favorite Assault in Multiplayer Battletech: Solaris, you know that 'Mechwarrior' game with Vector Graphics, sideway arm movement (you could look 90° to the side of your torso without turning it), where destroying your legs didn't destroy the entire mech and took you out of the match and allowed you to still use arm mounted weapons, and you had a rear view and some mechs (like the Atlas) had their rear mounted CT weapons (which you could use).

So yes, its true.. the Imp never made it to the Arcade version of Battletech, but it was a prominent Mech in the Simulation version of Battletech. That IP we lost now that HBS named their abomination Battletech.

I guess if turn based isn't your thing, but that game is great.

I'm sure Rifleman-IIC will be a popular mech, as long as the huge radio dish is tapered down. PHawk-IIC is gonna be a good ballistic boat too.

As for Unseen, gimme my Longbow!

Don't forget having the engine cap increased on most models. I am almost more concerned about the idea of a 65 ton mech creeping around the battlefield at slower than Assault mechs speeds.

Why are you replying to a 4 months old comment?

The mech's top speed with a clan XL 235 is 58.5 kmph. With a speed tweak of 7.5% (58.5 times .075) you are looking at a 4.3875 kmph boost. So round that off, add it to the maximum engine speed and we are getting about 63 kmph for it's potential top running speed. That's just a 1.8 kmph difference from most of the Night Gyr and Nova Cats stock engine speeds without speed tweak. Really not the end of the world in my eyes especially when you have jump jets for hill climbing.

The most iconic thing about the Imp is the Urbanmech evolution meme.

[Pain G0D]

I had fond memories of 3 Mechs in previous games .

Flashman
Grizzly
Hollander

[Mycroft Sandoval-Davion]

Pre-Clan invasion IS mechs that I would like to see:

Thorn 20t
Mongoose 25t
Wyvern 45t (provided it looks more like the IIc art than the original)
Dervish 55t
Crusader 65t
Caesar 70t
Crocket 85t
Devastator 100t

I would like a Wasp/Stinger/Valkyrie release if we get all three, but none of them individually would interest me that much.
