I'm thinking of buying them. I'm sort of ok with the ECM on the 28TR Hatamoto so that I can do something like this... HTM-28TR
just to test out the Stealth Armour and defend myself with the missiles and MLs when enemies get too close for the HPPCs to be effective. I could switch the MRM 10s with SRM6s or something.

As for the Hero, I'm leaning towards LBX10 and 4 SRM6+A or 2 LBX10 and 4 SRM6+A like this... SHUGO

I'm not entirely sure what the Charger is supposed to be though.

I checked the GrimMech's database and they don't have builds for the Hatamoto variants that I'm interested (probably 'cause my choices are crap) and the Charger is treated like a poor man's Assault that didn't want to be an assault mech in the first place. I mean, the speed is slow for them to skirmish properly and they can't get enough cooling without turning into a coffin.

Getting shot at.

The Hatamoto-Chi looks cool, I'll give it that. Beyond that, I'm not certain a marriage between Heavy PPC weapons and stealth armour will be a successful one, Frag. Remember, Stealth Armour hampers your heat dissipation to a large degree.

*** No pun intended

The Hatamoto-Chi excels... at looking like a giant robot samurai. Mech gronards love that stuff.

The grim build for the 1A1 is actually quite good with 6mpl 1 lpl. Feels undergunned but you can alpha 4 times on cooldown. Good speed, good agility, good armor.

To be frank, I want the Hatamoto just for looks

[LordNothing]

i didn't really like mine. that event that rewarded all those large sums of gxp finished mastering them and they promptly got mothballed at that point, probably never to see the light of day again.

[FRAGTAST1C]

I'm curious. What is it about the Hatamoto and Charger that you guys don't like?

[Tarl Cabot]

Something to consider.. How would players take to it if the game actually allowed an arm to be raised to fire those arm-mounted weapons, moreso for humanoid mechs? And imho, most light Assaults would tend to benefit from survivable ST isXL engines.

They could have been good for memes. But they disappointed even on that.

[Nightbird]

They are great on the other team, good thing I refunded them during the countdown period

[Armored Yokai]

Charger with the MPL build is REALLY strong, hell technically almost everything that boats MPL is strong.
Hatamoto is good for SRMs and MRMs

[Skippy The Danger Squirrel]

The Hatamoto Chi - 28TR with x2 MRM30, x4 med lasers, x1 AMS and ECM has proved an effective medium range brawler. I only wish I could mount a larger engine for more speed. The light 290 being max engine is somewhat lacking in speed...

The Charger 1A5 looks pretty solid. Not quite as well quirked for armor as the VTR-9S, but with better shield arms so it probably works out. Better quirks for the AC20, too.

[Jackal Noble]

Wow, the dumb vitriol in this thread is real.
H-27 can run a pretty solid Rac2x3 with 4 er meds while going just shy of 70 kph and has major armor quirks.
The Charger 1A5 can run a mean brawl build but does it with good speed. AC20(15% cd) + MRM 30/40 and 2 med lasers. They both have major armor quirkage.
Lol, who actually gets builds off of Grimmechs? (Oh that’s right, the atm36 Veagle tards) And if you do, you are missing out on half the fun of actually figuring stuff out on your own. Besides many of the builds are off.

if i would have noticed the low top speed i might not have bought my 28TR. 3xlpl, 2xssrm6, tag. Ecm. Does pretty good.

We've all been exposed to far too much of what people can come up with on their own.

If you aren't certain, for the love of god please use builds off of grimmechs.
