Oh my goodness, how did a month slip by? Well, pretend that this is postdated to January!
Making The Case For The Wolfman some more!
As a faction, the Periphery is woefully under-represented. The Corsair is the only frankenmech we have, and there should be so many more! I propose the Wolfman to be our next kit-bashed entry into MWO.
From a design standpoint it fits between the Blackjack and the Rifleman; a double-arm mount ballistic in the high-end Medium rating. It has great variability potential; with two different engine sizes to start from, and even different arm styles if you want to make it truly horrendous!
And from a purely economic standpoint you are (hopefully) creating a new mech from established models, so the actual development cost should be lowered. It also gives you the chance to create more apocryphal lore designs!
