Is The Corgi Technically Canon?

If so, where does that leave the Corgi?
It has 3D models, specs, and even an active 'mech page in the MWO official page:
https://mwomercs.com/corgi
Sure, the specs are a bit off. A 12 ton LBX-20 on a 10-ton 'mech? Mixed tech (Clan and IS weapons) before Word of Blake?Beagle Active Probe AND http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Bloodhound_Active_Probe ?
... but the LBX never existed in BT lore in the first place, lets remember. So anything is possible. In theory. Moreso, it was never specifically excluded from any coinsiderations.
I would say the Corgi is technically a part of BT canon. Just as giant dinosaurs and birdlike aliens.

(Then again PGI tried to tell me that Rocket Launchers weren't invented until after 3050.)

Nothing is stopping fans from creating fan builds of course.

Randall's answer: "For the Hero 'Mechs, absolutely. And that is the intention with the HBS campaign storyline as well."

"As I mentioned in the other thread, the fiction relating to the MWO Hero BattleMechs are canon. I was making no reference to MWO as a whole."
Given that all MWO mechs have hero variants that would mean PGI originals are canon.
And what I meant that PGI LB-X aren't canon its because of this:

So its suppossed to be able to fire normal rounds and be lighter than standard ACs

You are reading so much deeper into that than you should.
The Corgi is a joke mech, and is not canon. It's not even a legal build.

Oh for ***** sake. Engine limitations don't drive canonicity.

And the Urbanmech has engines that have negative tonnage...

No, but quite the opposite. The """engine limitations""" make MWO lb-x not like the canon one.

That's just a consequence of how the MechLab does the tonnage behind the scenes. It doesn't actually have negative weight, it's just a crude way to compensate for PGI not thinking very far ahead when they designed this.

Yes it is. We're just experiencing a shortage of LB-X compliant solid munitions.
Even if we decided the current MWO LB-X (And every single Mechwarrior game LB-X system, actually, unless I'm forgetting something) isn't canon, that doesn't mean the Corgi is ok.

I know you mean MWO's LB-X isn't like the canonical versions, but neither is the Sarna.net description.
So here's the issue with the Sarna entry.
--------
All hero mechs that make it into the game are canon.
Corgi is not in game.
Neither is the Titan class mech of 1,000+ tons with a foot the size of an Atlas.
Or the 360 degree engine-less golden Urbanmech mounted on the trailer of a semi with twin AC/20s.
These didn't even get Sarna.net pages, they are clearly jokes.
---
This said, Corgi is actually based on something that is canon.

A cartoon in universe that's a popular kid's TV show.
So don't expect to haul this cartoon mech piloted by a cartoon dog named Pembroke to be fighting in any battles any time soon.

All "weight free" heatsinks, technically, are only permitted to be mounted in torsos, legs, or the head. They're not supposed to be mounted in arms. Mounting in legs is supposed to reflect a liquid intake that can pump an additional fluid to help cool faster. (They never mention how the water is ejected, so I kinda like to imagine a water jet in the back that spews it in a steamy mess.)
Side note: I recently did a number of scale images. Since we're talking about Urbies.
(The Asuka is a made up 15 ton Security Mech being designed and talked about in the "You have 5.5 tons" thread.) (MWO heights taken from the MWO Rescale chart at the tallest non-antennae point).
(A general trend in Battletech: Mechs that come with XL engines, DHS, etc... basically "bulky" weight saving equipment... are bigger than non-carriers of such tech. Their height also varies by generation, the Urbie height here is the UM-R60)
