with the following examples:
Horse.
Megasaur.
Orca.
....Orca... as in the killer whale.
With an elaborate example, too, torpedo infantry mounted on orcas... in which they bombard undersea facilities.
Killer......freaking...whales...
O_O
Side note: The "Buster" Hauler Mech that the Powerman was built to compete with out of spite was made by then 34 year old Richard Sitwell in the Vehicle Annex, but... 4 years later Catalyst retconned this with Historical Operation Klondike to say it was made in 2764, when the creator was 3 years old, and 31 years before he even made the company that built it... and that the specific one mentioned in the Vehicle Annex publication 4 years earlier was made in 2895 according to the Master Unit List. The original Powerman in the Vehicle Annex, states that the mech was produced in the same year as the Sitwell company, which is 2795.
Go figure.
(Also strange: The Buster XV is the main mech that the Powerman was based on, but the same page in the Vehicle annex lists a Buster XXI with Triple Strength Myomer, which has led to wikis listing that as the Buster 2795 mech with Industrial TSM... though TSM was a 3040+ creation).
But anyway, yeah..
Imagine battling mechs in the water... as orca-mounted torpedo infantry!
(Who the hell comes up with this stuff?!)
They literally have Dragon Mounted Infantry in Battletech.
It's ******* nuts, man.
