Its quirks are ballistic and missile oriented, as are the set of 8 bonuses (though with a set of 8 you only have 1 ballistic in the left arm and 1 missile in each side torso, plus 4 energy points).

That aside, it's a Timber Wolf. Min-maxed structural options, durable (mostly as a function of raw tonnage), good top speed, good payload. The major downside is the easily focused side torsos, and that it tends to have slightly sluggish response compared to other heavies.

I already have all the light and medium heroes I prefer the play and don't really run the heavier mechs much so will probably get the Rancor for the silly lrm build you can do with it.

I went LA Malinche.. I believe thats its name. its not a bad mech, gets cored easily but thats a Banshee staple...

It was one of the only Heroes i didn't already own.

La Malinche is getting buffed soon.
BNC-LM:

Increased cooldown to -20% (from -15%)
Added PPC Family HSL +1
Added -15% Heat
Added 25% Range
Added -15% Missile cooldown
Added 20% Weapon velocity

Removed -5% AC10 cooldown
Removed 10% AC10 Range
Removed 10% Ballistic range
Removed -5% Energy heat
Removed 10% Energy range
Removed -10% Large pulse laser heat
Removed 10% Large pulse laser range



The Rancor (8,440) and Cherbi (8,910) are also pretty high up there in MC value. It's kind of personal taste between which one to get though, they are very different mechs and I don't think the 500 MC price difference ($1 to 3 dollars) is a significant factor.

EBJ-EC does a few builds; UAC10+UAC20, 3UAC5, 4UAC2, and all of them are good but the 10/20 build is arguably the best. It is very good at its particular role, but if you don't like those builds, you won't really benefit from the bech.

EXE Cherbi would be my pick if you want omnimech with high MC value, but it's an assault that plays like a heavy. Make sure you actually like driving it though. It can feel a bit like driving a boat even though it's actually quite nimble for an assault. I think this is because the cockpit is so high off the ground.


Nice Awesome thanks will be a great addition.. Needs more core armor lol Posted Image

The thing NEVER disappoints. AC20, 2SnubPPC, 4ML. LFE 280, 2 JJ, 3 tons ammo, and all the heat sinks which fit. It is a brawling beast.


Pretty great mech, This is my choice also.

I'd buy another Timberwolf first to see if you like it. Timbys were one of the first mechs I bought and the TBR-A has some nice quirks. I haven't tried the Warrant and I prefer mechs where the quirks apply to more than one weapon. However 81 kph means that it will be fairly nimble.

To me it's always been somewhere between an Ebon Jaguar and a Madcat II.

Took the Marauder Bounty Hunter II, myself.

Building a collection of canon custom ’Mechs, and that means I needed to have both this and the Bounty Hunter's Timber Wolf, which I got already from the Warden pack. :D

Think I'm gonna aim for a St. Ives Blue next. I don't see a whole lot of Vindicators these days – probably for good reason – and in this game I gravitate toward the obscure.

I think that it could use Clan Active Probe.

Yeah. Modified it a bit to better server the team with an ecm bubble for the mechs I'm firing over the heads of. Be a waste of all that armor not to share it.

SneakyLurmSnek

Oh and am having some fun with this. With max cool run and heat nodes you can 1~2 group fire them in threes all day long.

The time for BAS-A(P) Platinum Collection has truly come Posted Image

But seriously, Hero mechs with +30% CBills bonus really do allow you to splurge on CBills consumables, and still allow you to earn serious CBills from a good game!

I really considered a Scorch but I want a Gargoyle first. So I think I would pick that even if not ridiculously usefull. And I buy that Scorch when we got a sale.

Okay, so I went with the Rancor. It’s field able for its set of 8 bonus and has good pod choices for other variants.
