Its awkward because there's an IS 55-tonner named the Gladiator that was almost extinct that gets upgraded around the 3050's. So there's two Gladiators running around.

This thread is misleading, it's about understanding the mechs, but all I see are names.

The Helbie literally has the armor level of a Jenner, so I don't think it would fit into the defense category very well (it even says in the description that it's "not particularly suited to defensive engagements"). I'd consider it more of an offensive unit due to its speed and relatively high firepower for its weight. Then again, it might also be considerable as support due to it not being very good at fighting 1 on 1 (terribad armor) and its various electronics plus AMS.

I hope I get taken as a Clan Wolf Bondsman... Just so I may claim all the isorla that the innerspher has to offer, what with it having all these inferior freebirth mech pilots... We will show these other surat clans just how to reclaim Terra from those deceitful stravag... these sphereoid warriors have no spine, no honor, and no skill... We shall make short work of them...

They were not used much during the invasion because they were mostly second line mechs.

those are all omni's, not second line. they just were not as common as the main 16 omni's due to being either newer (often intended to replace one of the main 16) or built by a clan that wasn't part of the invasion and thus the invader touman's didn't have many.


personally i'd love to have a Shadow Cat in MWO.. fast low end medium with a gauss rifle? would be a fun sniper.

I love the idea of the Gargoyle...80T mech going 93 kph after speed tweak with clan weapons. As long as it does not get the Victor's cursed chassis quirks...

The Victor? It deserved those nerfs. Anyway i hope the Gargoyle would enjoy some better mobility compared to the other assaults.

Except for the fact that there is only one Gladiator, and the other is called an Executioner, quiaff?

Aff. The Executioner is nicknamed Gladiator by the IS. Which is peculiar as the Gladiator was an ancient IS mech already:
