An alpha strike is simply firing all weapons simultaneously. Since it's not actually specified to be only coined for Assault 'Mechs, a Commando can technically also Alpha Strike. I'm just glad the second Assault 'Mech isn't the Annihilator - a.k.a. "The most frustrating thing from MW3"

Not much risk of that. Considering that the devs (seem) to be hewing pretty close to TT, you probably won't see the Annihilator any time soon.

Its oldtech version's top speed is the same as your average assault mech's WALKING speed, and its armor is a bit on the thin side.

And yes, all mechs can alpha strike (though many, if not most, should not). As you say, all it is is the simultaneous firing of all weapons. A Commando has a nasty one for a SW-era light mech, too.

I think larger heat sinks would look even better. Previous versions of the Awesome, I assume, had large heat sinks on each shoulder, since it is mainly a laser boat. Possibly have larger heat sinks with some kind of enclosed fan built-in. Like a fan tail on a tail rotor.

This version of the mech makes me wonder what the Zeus would look like in this game.

Good looking mech not far removed from the original. I am a bit of a traditionalist in terms of mech design. Now how about giving the Liao some love, Vindicator please!!!

I did not like the Catapult redesign but it still was OK, but this time, nope.
The awesome is one of my fav. mech and really I dont like the way they re designed it. I hope it will be change to look more like the original version.

Nope, only 1 variant does, the AWS-9Q, which isn't introduced till '57.

Anyone who thinks an alpha strike in an awesome is problematical clearly hasn't tried one in a warhammer. Every other turn is quite doable with still firing 2 PPC's on the off turns. Not only no ammo explosions (due to lack of any present), but not even movement penalties. In the days when 3025 roamed the earth, this thing would routinely school an atlas at range.
