erppc
katana
5/8 movement
2 medium lasers
triple strength myomer

Of the mechs we have right now, there is no question.

Light - Jenner, Medium - Hunchback, Heavy - Dragon. These designs are either homebread Combine designs (Jenner, Dragon), or Combine favored (Hunchback). I mean, at this point in the timeline, the Combine has entire companies made up of nothing but the jack-of-all-trades Dragon. The only thing we need to make it more awesome would be a Panther to work hand in hand with the Jenner scouts. The presence of so many iconic Drake mechs, including a totem mech is what really has drawn me to House Kurita so far. Fluff is very near and dear to my heart.

Love the Catapult, but Dracinis do make a lovely
Hatamoto-Chi :D The PPC/srm combination is nice very Warhammer'ish

Panther. Light mech speed, PPC range, SRM for close encounters. I like it!

Sure does, and in my units colors/markings no less.

Now we just gotta trade out that pesky AC for a propper PPC to make the dragon truely grand.

Since we are close to 3050, i would like to see a Mauler.


Konnichiwa Basilisk-san. I agree -- Mauler is a very good choice. It's only weakness being lack of speed. I'm hoping the developers put out the Hatamoto-Chi.

The image of the Hatamoto Chi on the back of Record Sheets 3050 hooked me into the game so I'm going with that.

I guess I would settle with a Dragon, But what I would really like is the SJA-7D Shugenja.

I plan on picking up the legendary founder soon, but I would trade my atlas for a battlemaster or hatamoto in a heartbeat...the jenner is one of me first loves, so it is a given... the hatamoto is possibly the most culturaly significant mech in the BT system.

Panther doesn't have light mech speed... it' s movement is more heavy-mech style. Maxes at 65kph for most variants, doesn't it?

Based purely on looks, I'd have to say Hatimoto-Chi (yeah, I know the sword's not part of the standard loadout... but it looks sweet doesn't it?)

But if I was going based on loadout, probably mauler.

(It looks pretty sweet too)

The one thing im going to miss is Salvage, that way your nice, pretty Drac mech could become my new ride with some Spackle and a tune up!

*grin*
