HBS original mech called the Bull Shark looking pretty good, it's a 95 ton Assault. HBS is also adding their own non-canon weapon called Coil Beams, which are laser weapons that deal more damage based on how far a mech travels.

That Bull Shark looks like it might have something going for it if it made its way to MWO.... provided we're still getting the odd mech pack.

The Bullshark really reminds me of the Rogatka mech from the Pay2Win mobile game "War Robots."

It looks like a Nightstar with ears.

I like!

Dunno how I feel about the coil beam. But I like its particle effect, may use it for the Cyclops Eye Large Laser (half laser half PPC) of Drillson tank and early Wolfhound 1A fame (before it's replaced with another more standard large laser).

I like the Bull Shark overall. I think it has a bit of Stalker and King Crab mixed together in the design. Plus it is a 95 ton mech in an era that doesn't see to many of those.

I don't know. I read it's load out on the DLC trailer and it has a thumper cannon. The ST's are also screaming to be shot too with it's geometry. It's going to have to go through PGIification like the Hellbringer unless we ever got new weaponry for MW:O, which is likely never.

Getting big Warhammer vibes off of the Bull Shark's cockpit. Kinda love it for that. Makes me think it might be a "factory Frankenmech" akin to the Cataphract, with bits drawn from multiple other machines, but professionally assembled rather than haphazardly thrown together. Fingers crossed.

I agree that it kind of feels like something that would generically show up on War Robots. Though, not like an agile mech like the Rogatka, but something more brutal like the Behemoth or Fenrir.
