I don't like the (re-)designs of the first four mechs, but this one is pretty good.

Guess the next mech we're going to see is the Raven.

That is absolutely fabulous! That is some awesome artwork. I have liked Catapults for many years, but that just bumped them up a notch or seven!

One of my all time favorite Mechs...

Use to do pirate style matches with this mech. Me and a wing would go 2v4, 2v6, etc and win all the time. B)

It's do have a top end only around 64 kmph. But, the jump jets give it much more maneuverability. I wouldn't get NEAR a city in it unless I was out of LRM ammo, personally. After that though, its 4 medium lasers would keep it a threat against mediums and lights for a while.

Brutal looking and the legs look solid. What mechs should be.

Never really used to like the Catapults. For two reasons. One, they seem slightly underpowered for heavy mechs, but i could get around that. The bigger issue was that they always looked ridiculous. Glad to see thats changed, my finally decide to try one out.

Looks kinda like a Jenner. Only with the pods and more armor. All in all a solid build and good manueverability. I'd pilot one. When not in my Timber Wolf.
