I've never been a fan of the catapult, if only for the shallow reason of not liking it aesthetically. On the tabletop it's a great mech to field, but I shied away from it in the computer games.

This is the most beastly version I've seen and I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen running around in one of these.

We all know that the Catapult was designed the way it was because Mickey Mouse was a primary sponsor of its development.

WOW! if you guys keep producing at this level this game is going to be a real winner! Excelent design. I have been a mechwarrior fan since i was a child. I remember playing mechwarrior 2 and Earthsiege with my dad! Keep up the good work

I cant wait till they release the Mad Dog (Vulture / Hagetaka)

Great work on the artwork though, Catapult is easily one of my fav. Top 5

O.O

They remade Catapult! My life is now complete...

Just kidding. This artillery piece needs to be kept off the main battlefronts, and all users who decide to use them, be warned - if you don't sacrifice some of those LRMs for some armor or close-range weapons, then foes more suited to all-around combat WILL shred your mech, and probably you too. Heck, on MechWarrior 4, I've seen a standard Cougar destroy one of these with limited hassle. So...yeah. Love the design, love the mech, but people, please, just keep the damn things out of a furball. They were designed as artillery, not proper heavy mechs...although smart-***** who take out the LRMs for more medium-range firepower, I salute you.

Umm--considering the release said Terran Hegemony, are we going to have Clanners around? In level one/intro play, 4 medium lasers firing forwards is enough to shred any machine fast enough to get under the minimums of the LRMs. With the ability to retreat or take a partial cover firing position relatively easily, the Catapult is mobile enough for its role. When the LRMs are Winchester, the Catapult can easily close to finish off any damaged units.

Are there going to be different servers for different eras? The Dragon and Catapult entries both reference the original Star League around the time of the Exodus. (which strikes me as way cool)

Did you have license problems or why has a Perfect design like tha Catapult been redesigned in such a nasty way?
Did you ever refer to the 3025 Manual before you created that abomination?
Remember the faliure of the redesigned Mechs in the renewed 3025 Manual? why keep you making the same mistakes.

Please don't take on the other Classic designs, like the Battle Archer, Phoenixhawk, Marauder, Archer, Warhammer, Wasp, Jenner and all the others whos designs gave the game its special flavor back in the days of hexagons.

I wonder how the Mad Cat will end up in your designers hands.

No license problems. They wanted to make the game more modern. :D

Jenner is already released, look at it. :D

And their redesigns are perfect. If you do not like it, then... sorry. :P
