Does anyone have an image of the omnipods/mechlab for the TBR-WAR in MW5:Clans? There's no image of it on steam or any of the promotional material I've seen. I've searched google with no luck and didn't see anyone post it here. A PGI dev mentioned they worked on the MWO one but wasn't sure about the MW5:Clans one.

If anyone can get a screenshot of it, the page from the omni-pod menu should be good enough. Should tell me what each pod has for hard points and how many slots per hardpoint.

Thanks in advance.

For anyone who has been looking and comes across this post: I finally found someone who could provide the image over on Steam's discussion page. They even included a shot of the camo pattern. The images are below:

To my excitement, it shows the left arm ballistic slots are large enough for things like an AC20.

The torso ballistics are large enough to fit an UAC10 each if they're a merged 5 slots and 2 hardpoints, like the Nova B left torso, OR a UAC5 if it's two separate hardpoints of 3 and 2 slots (like the Nova S left torso). [I received confirmation that the ballistic torso hardpoint slots are a merged bracket, not separate ones. Seems like dual torso UAC10s are on the menu.]

To my dismay, the Right arm is only 2 energy hardpoints with 2 slots, was hoping it had 3 slots like the Mad Dog. 2 slots means you can not put a LPL and ERML (for example) in any of the TBR right arms. The TBR does have a left arm with this setup, but you can not mirror it, sadly. Was really hoping for a 2 hardpoint, 3 slot setup there.

As it turns out, the MW5:Clans WAR variant is completely different from the Warrant variant from MWO. Warrant has energy hardpoints in the side torsos, WAR has ballistic hard points in the side torsos. Warrant can fit LRM20s, WAR can not. So hopefully this will stop people from saying "just check MWO" as they're not even the same mech in terms of available hardpoints.
