Rules Level: Introductory
Era: Succession Wars
Tech Rating/Era Availability: D/X-E-D
Production Year: 3000
Cost: 4,932,307 C-Bills
Battle Value: 1,420

Chassis: Unknown Standard
Power Plant: Unknown 275 Fusion Engine
Walking Speed: 54.0 km/h
Maximum Speed: 86.4 km/h
Jump Jets: Unknown
Jump Capacity: 150 meters
Armor: Unknown Standard Armor
Armament:
1 PPC
3 Medium Lasers
Manufacturer: Unknown
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: Unknown
Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown

Overview:
When the Star League expressed an interest in 'Mechs designed by the little
people, Cybra immediately started designing, but had to scrap most of the
designs when he was informed that he wasn't allowed the use of Star League
Tech. These delays meant that he missed out on the field tests for Light
'Mechs. Rather than trying to enter after the fact, or sabotaging the
competition, Cybra just shrugged his shoulders and started on his entry for the
next weight class and used the time during the field tests and ensueing scuffle
to tinker with and test his design. The extra time resulted in the Celcior
along with a few interesting design choices.


Capabilities:
After going over the available weight range and chassis, Cybra settled on a 55
ton Griffon chassis. After scouring the junkyards of Solaris 7 for a couple
weeks, a nearly complete Griffon chassis was assembled. Utilizing scrap
structure, the chassis was repaired and tweaked for a few, strange, options.
The first option that raised a few eyebrows was the PPC installed into the
right arm, which resulted in the reworking of the lower arm and hand. Cybra
figured that, rather than usng copius amounts of armour to protect the PPC,
thereby reducing armour placed elsewhere on the arm, he had it installed among
the 'bones'. The fingers were altered and arranged around the nozzle of the PPC
to form a retractable, protective dome. This arrangement allows the Celcior to
punch with the right arm with out damaging the focusing coils, but doesn't
allow the pilot to pick up objects. The dome was programmed to automatically
close when the pilot targets anything within 90 metres, however, it can be
manually overridden. When it came to the secondary weapon system, the trusty
and reliable Medium Laser was chosen. Due of the restriction of weight, no
other weapon was used, allowing for ease of replacement most of the time. A
pair of Medium Lasers were placed on either side of the torso, while the third
was mounted under the cockpit. An extra 4 heat sinks were mounted in or around
the engine to aid in cooling and gives the Celcior almost complete cooling
during extended durations of intense manouvering.


Battle History:
During the Star League's disagreement with the Taurians, the Celcior CLC-01 was
used to storm an airbase held by mercs. During the long and slightly tedious
fire fight that ensued, the lone Celcior that was deployed counted for a half
dozen bugs, a Shadow Hawk and Trebuchet, as well as downing the enemy Rifleman
before a makeshift platoon of infantry reduced the remains of its right torso
to slag and severing the couplings to the PPC.


The Celcior Pilot then proceeded to call in reinforcements that were able to
disable or drive off the remaing forces with a minimum of fuss.


Deployment:
Due to the prototype nature of this mech, only 3 models were built during the
Star League. During the fall of the Star League and the Succesion Wars, the
Celcior CLC-01 was pressed into production when the decline in technology
halted the production of the Celcior CLC-02.


After the loss of technology caused by the Succesion Wars, the Celcior CLC-02
was frequently fielded alongside Griffon mechs to cover thier point-blank range
problems.


Variants:
During the Star League, the Celcior CLC-01 was only a prototype design, meant
to show case what Cybra could do with limited technology. The Celcior CLC-02 is
the Royal version fielded by the Star League in limited numbers.

Overview:
At first glance, the Celcior CLC-02 is nearly indistinguishable from the
CLC-01. This is because the designers wanted a simple and effective upgrade for
the original that wouldn't cost too much. This was achieved throught the use of
3 different bits of Star League Tech. Upgrading the Particle Cannon to its
Extended Range brother, gave the CLC-02 an increaesed engagement zone. The
introduction of Pulse technology also gave the 'Mech an increased chance to hit
while executing especially wild manouvers. The high heat output caused by these
weapons was countered by replacing the standard sinks with doubles. When asked
as to why Cybra was only using a small amount of the Advanced Tech provided by
the Star League, his reply was "What's the point in spending an extra 2-3
million credits on similar 'Mechs, when the same effect can be purchased for
under 380 thousand?"


Capabilities:
As previously stated, the ER PPC gives the CLC-02 an increase of 150 metres to
its engagement zone, allowing this 'Mech to hit advancing enemies first. The
twin Medium Pulse Lasers are located immediately below the torso-mounted Medium
Lasers. In order to give the CLC-02 a defense against inquisitive infantry, the
Head-mounted Medium Laser was replaced with a Flamer. With the ability to jump
and disipate heat from weapons fire, the 14 standard sinks were removed and
replaced with 10 doubles.


Battle History:
All battle footage recorded by the Star League has been lost.
The recent production runs of the Clecior CLC-02 haven't had any significant
battles within the year they have been produced.


Deployment:
With the re-introduction of Star League equipment, the Celcior C:C-02 has
re-entered production, with all CLC-01 production lines being upgraded to
produce the CLC-02. CLC-01's in the field are slowly being replaced by CLC-02's.


Variants:
Any variants produced during the Star League were lost, and the very recent
productions haven't had a chance to be modified. As such, there are no variants
recorded yet.

The Staghound is a 50 ton 'Mech built to exploit the recently made available 3050 tech. I know the XL and Endo-Steel is still very new, but I didn't have much fluff to go with when came up with it. I designed it with the idea that it would work alongside smaller 6/9 moving 'Mechs.

It uses Endo-steel instead of Ferro-fibrous for weight savings based on the idea that being a medium 'Mech, it will probably get beat up a bit, and its cheaper to replace standard armor. But I'm hoping the XL engine and jump jets give it the speed and mobility to back out if things get really bad, and preserve the difficult to repair Endo-Steel skeleton (amongst other things, such as the whole 'Mech ).

This is actually the third variant of this design. Both A and B models use an autocannon and an ER large laser to provide greater firepower at a greater range, but at the cost of jump jets and a half ton of armor. While both the A and B models work well, I prefer the C model because of its mobility, pulse lasers, and heat management. This comes at the cost of range, as the medium pulse lasers only have a range of 6 hexes and the large lasers have a range of 15 hexes.

In MegaMek, I find it works well with the Vulcan 5M or Hermes II 5S.

Visually, I picture it as a cross between Dave White's version of the Hellhound (MW4) and the Beowulf IIC (TRO Prototypes).

I just figured I'd post this mech for everyone. It's the mech with the highest BV. (At least that I could find on the wiki...)

Here's a sick Cauldron Born / Ebon Jaguar variant I designed for hunting Clan assaults (like the Dire Wolf).



Pictured isn't actually a Cauldron Born (fan creation instead) but it looks really similar and there's no decent Cauldron Born artwork out there, so I'm using this.

The thing that most impresses me with this mech is the heat curve. Perfect, both forwards and backwards firing.

In-game, this thing lives fast and dies hard. The targeting computer combined with the ERPPC provides accurate long range firepower while the machine closes into range, and lord help you when it gets there.

At short range, within 3 hexes, is where this mech really shines. It is critical that this mech's ammunition come with inferno SRM's, as they are the focal point of the design.

Once this Cauldron Born gets into range with the SRM's, the inferno's start causing havoc - especially against Clan assaults, which often redline their heat to begin with. The inferno barrage is meant to shutdown or slow down the enemy assault so that it cannot escape, and it also effectively reduces the overall firepower of the unit, allowing the Cauldron Born to go toe-to-toe more easily.

With the enemy mech overheated, the SRM's are switched over to standard, and the heavy medium lasers come into play. The combined firepower from the heavy lasers and the SRM's devastates the enemy mech, ripping even assaults to shreds within a scant few turns.

This next design is a highly efficient one. Designed to function in a similar role to the Timber Wolf omnimech, this Cauldron Born variant sports two ERPPC's, an LBX10, and an active probe.

Best used as a medium-long range fighter. The Active Probe assists with hitting targets in light foliage, and the two massive hole-punchers combined with the LBX10 crit-seeker makes this design an extremely unforgiving and punishing one.

Here's my first attempt (keeping away from Lostech/Clan tech like the OP requested):

Grasshopper GHR-5Nr

Mass: 70 tons

Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Introductory
Era: Succession Wars
Tech Rating/Era Availability: D/X-E-D
Production Year: 3042
Cost: 6,225,173 C-Bills
Battle Value: 1,542

Chassis: Mingh z33/7 Standard
Power Plant: Lantren Corporation 280 Fusion Engine
Walking Speed: 43.2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 64.8 km/h

Jump Capacity: 120 meters

Armament:
1 Donal PPC
6 Diplan M3 Medium Lasers
Manufacturer: Lantren Corporation
Primary Factory: Unknown
Communications System: Allet-C308
Targeting and Tracking System: Unknown

Overview:
The Grasshopper entered service in 2780 as a light and medium 'Mech hunter, after the Amaris Civil War was over. In order to accomplish its mission profile, the 'Mech's ground speed of 64.8 km/h is augmented with a jumping capability of one hundred and twenty meters, allowing the Grasshopper greater mobility than that of other 'Mechs of similar weight. The Grasshoppers varied weapons payload allows it to work in a variety of roles other than that of a light 'Mech hunter, and with its low dependence on ammunition it is capable of operating away from established supply lines for extended periods of time.


Capabilities:
The GHR-5N is a very basic upgrade of the GHR-5H Grasshopper. The LRM-5 and the Large Laser have both been removed from the design. In their place, a PPC has been added, as well as an additional Medium Laser.


The GHR-5Nr is a simple field refit that turns the agile Grasshopper from a light to medium mech hunter-killer, to a more serious close range threat to even the largest of mechs. The mech continues to use no ammo based weaponry, allowing it to operate in special ops completely unsupported and behind enemy lines. The jump jets and maximum armor protection have been retained to further facilitate this role. The weapon load out remains relatively the same; only one heat sink has been dropped in order to fit one more medium laser. The PPC is limited to only being used for decent long range punch until the mech can bring the majority of its weapons into range. The most noticeable modifications has been the placing of all weapons in the torso. In doing so, not only has it made the weapon systems more secure, but the arms have now been freed up to perform deadly melee attacks against unwary targets, significantly increasing the potency of the mech at extreme close range.

Jump Capacity: 120 meters
Armor: Kallon Unity Weave Ferro-Fibrous w/ CASE
Armament:

1 Johnston Cleaver-V Hatchet
Manufacturer: Johnston Industries
Primary Factory: New Syrtis
Communications System: Unknown

Overview:
The Axman is designed exclusively to be a 'Mech killer. The 'Mech gets its name
and one of its two main weapons from a massive Hatchet that is carried by the
'Mech that allows it to cleave through the armor of an enemy 'Mech. The 'Mech
was designed by Team Banzai following the highly successful Hatchetman. The
Axman is also intended as a symbol of solidarity throughout the Federated
Commonwealth by using components that are produced in Davion, Steiner, and even
former Liao space. The 'Mech has a ground speed of only 64.8 km/h, which is
slow for a 'Mech of its weight, but average for the Heavy weight class. The
'Mech is covered with eleven tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor that gives it a great
deal of protection. The 'Mech is designed to utilize the Full-Head Ejection
System to safe-guard its MechWarrior.


Capabilities:
The two primary weapons on board the Axman AXM-1N are its massive Hatchet,
which alone weighs five tons and can cleave through enemy 'Mech armor like a
knife through butter, and a Luxor Devastator-20 Autocannon/20, which can strip
over a ton of armor off of an enemy 'Mech with ease. The 'Mech also carries a
trio of Intek Medium Lasers and a highly accurate Sutel Precision Line Large
Pulse Laser for short to intermediate range combat.

The AXM-1G is a redesigned 1N with private contractors in mind. The newly
developed, but prohibitively expensive XL Engine has been replaced by a
standard model. While doing so adds significant weight to the mech, it also
makes it much more reliable and durable; exactly what many individual mech
owners value. To help compensate for this tech downgrade, the old AC/20 has
been replaced by the newly developed LB/10-X. While this new autocannon has
less penetrating power, it has significantly improved range and weighs less.
The Large Laser has been removed to further reduce weight in favor of two
additional Medium Lasers. The end result is a very heat efficient mech with almost as much
firepower as the 1N model, but at nearly half the cost, double the weapon
range, and much better durability.

One I have posted on Solaris 7 already (I see a slight Irony since I posted the mech on the 9th and saw this thread on the 10th)

Lieren VND-2R

Mass: 45 tons
Tech Base: Inner Sphere
Chassis Config: Biped
Rules Level: Tournament Legal
Era: Succession Wars
Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-F-E
Production Year: 3048
Cost: 4,465,783 C-Bills
Battle Value: 1,485

Chassis: Ceresplex IV Standard
Power Plant: GM 180 Fusion Engine
Walking Speed: 43.2 km/h
Maximum Speed: 64.8 km/h (86.4 km/h)
Jump Jets: Anderson Propulsion 30
Jump Capacity: 120 meters
Armor: Hellespont Lite Ferro-Fibrous
Armament:
1 Ceres Arms Warrior ER PPC
4 Ceres Arms Medium Lasers
2 Magna 200P Small Pulse Lasers
1 Hessen IX Small Laser
1 Apple Churchill Golden Shield Guardian ECM Suite
Manufacturer: Ceres Metals Industries
Primary Factory: Capella
Communications System: CereCom Model 21-RS
Targeting and Tracking System: C-Apple Churchill

Overview:
A refit kit produced in 3048 by Ceres Metals Industries in conjunction with
Hellespont Industrials for the VND-1R, the -2R Lieren upgrade can be installed
on a -1R using the mech bays on a drop ship or in a mech hangar.


The VND-2R retains the basic structural components (with the exception of the
addition of Earthwerks MASC System 3 type Myomer Acceleration Signal Circuitry)
and Jump Jets of the VND-1R and focuses on increasing it's striking power and
range while gaining increased durability and survivability through the
application of more advance armor and the addition of a Guardian ECM Suite.


To do this CMI and HI felt that the transition to an all energy weapon loadout
would have the best effect completely removing ammunition dependance and the
very real chance of a damaged bin of ammunition exploding. To compensate for
the increase in heat Double Heat Sinks, of the same type first used in the BJ-3
during the close of the 4th Succession War, have been installed giving the
VND-2R nearly a 40% increase in it's cooling capacity over the -1R, enough to
compensate for the heat of it's new loadout if a pilot plays smart with their
fire control.


Capabilities:
While it retains the base mobility of the -1R the VND-2R gains the ability to
boost its speed to 86.4 kph in short bursts thanks to the Earthwerks MASC
System 3. This is intended to be used to get the -2R acrossed larger open areas
(city parks for example) than it's jump ability can reasonably clear or to give
the pilot another option if jumping is unwarranted due to the need to maintain
a low visual profile.


Weapons is where this Refit kit shines. First the Ceres Arms Smasher PPC is
replaced with a Ceres Arms Warrior ER PPC (the basic design gotten from the
Draconis Combine thanks to the Concord of Kapteyn). While producing half again
as much heat as the Smasher, the Warrior series of PPC does boast a range
increase of nearly 30% reaching out to a startling 690 meters instead of the
540 meters of the Smasher. The of the Warrior also exceeds that of the
Sian/Ceres Jaguar LRM 5 that is mounted on the -1R resulting in that weapon
being removed from the design in this refit (the harder hitting power of the ER
PPC was deemed a sufficent enough replacement for the negleable indirect fire
capability lost with the LRMs removal). For closer in 3 more Ceres Arms Medium
Lasers were added boosting the damage potential in close to levels comparable
to many heavy mechs that preceeded the -2R, this increase does push the
VND-2R's cooling system though so care needs to be used when excersizing it.
For point blank fighting (in the rare circumstances where a Lieren VND-2R pilot
would have that desire) the Hessen IX Small Laser is supplemented by a pair of
Magna 200P Small Pulse Lasers produced by Firmir Weaponry, this also has the
added advantage of giving the VND-2R the ability to ward off Davion infantry
formations which are so common in the Federated Suns half of the Federated
Commonwealth.


Battle History:
The only engagements that the Ieren VND-2R has seen thus far has been primarily
anti-piracy missions to eradicate the scavengers that have begun swarming the
Confederation thinking that affter the blood **** shown by the Federated
Commonwealth that the weakened Capellans Confederation will be easy pickings.
Reports of specific engagements are slow to trickle in though as the forces in
question have better things to do.


Deployment:
As a maintenance level refit the actualy dispersion of the VND-2R refit is
fairly wide, though unfortunately Ceres Metals has no information as to exact
distrobution available for security reasons.

I came up with this one today. My inspiration came from the Fire Moth (Dasher) and the Adder (Puma).
Those mechs had very high BV (around 2000) so I thought that by combining the best of both, I could create a mech has a higher BV than even some Heavy mechs have. It mounts both a MASC system and a Supercharger system to give it a super high top speed. Here are my results:

Oh hey I get to actually show off some of the 250+ mechs I have laying around in my SSW folder! Yay! Here's some of my favorite pre-clan designs I've come up with:


Tyrant TYN-88B

Quick summary:
85 ton assault, average speed. Plenty of armor. A PPC and 2 Large lasers are the main armaments, giving it plenty of long-range support capacity without worry about ammo. Weapons are offset by 26 heat sinks. A pair of SRM 6s give it a nice close punch to discourage getting in too close.

Quick summary:
I like the Thug. You like the thug! Everyone likes the thug! Except it kinda sucks without heat sinks. I tried to fix that, and think I was pretty successful. Weapons consist of 2 large lasers and 2 SRM 4s, but it's got a full set of jump jets and 19 heat sinks. It's got a nice heat curve and mobility without the cost of firepower being TOO steep.

Ravage DRG-CUSTOM-R

Quick summary: So in mechwarrior 4, I really liked playing a medium-range brawler. I saw the trailer for the new game last summer and freaked out. But since I wasn't going to be able to run around in my medium or heavy mech armed with streak missles, ER lasers, and some sort of AC20, I decided to draw something up that I could use as a pre-invasion equivilent. It's a variant of the Dragon, loaded out with a PPC, SRM 6, and a couple medium lasers. Nothing too remarkable, but it lets it take potshots as it closes, and ammo isn't TOO big a deal if I do a good job not getting myself blown up.

Overview:
A custom variant of the Draconis Combine's Dragon, the Rampage is designed to
be effective at both fire support and close-combat. It moves the rear medium
laser to the left arm, replaces the Autocannon with a PPC, and switches the
LRM-10 with an SRM-6 with a ton of ammuniton. Finally, to dissapate the extra
heat generated by this weapons package, three heat sinks are added.

Thunder PROTO-1

Quick summary: So I like brawlers, as the last summary may have suggested. I am also a giant Cappy Confederation fan. And I have a thing for silly hats. So I REALLY like the thunder, and was sad that it didn't really exist before the clan invasion. So I pretended it did and figured an AC 10 would be okay as long as I backed it up with plenty of SRMs and medium lasers. It runs pretty cool, so if you mash down the trigger for everything the moment it comes up either you or the other guy should be dead before overheat becomes an issue.

Heavywieght HVW-0X

Quick summary:I wanted to create the wonderful, horrible, but mostly wonderful lovechild of a Banshee and an Awesome. It turned out surprisingly well. Heat isn't too big a deal, but you can't be alpha striking constantly with it, either. 1 PPC and an LRM 15 give it nice long range power, and 2 Large Lasers pretty much double the firepower if you can get a hair closer. And if you get REALLY close it has a seven ton hatchet, which basically means you have a 100 ton robot hitting things with a Hummer attached to a second, sharpened Hummer. And call me a romantic, but I just adore that.

Hydra HYD-08

Quick summary: Aaaaand my baby. Absolute favorite pre-clan mech I've put together. I wanted to make the most brutal assault mech I possibly could, and well, to put it in perspective it's got a higher battle value of everything besides the Marauder II. A previous version was based around 27 heat sinks and not overheating. Then I said **** CAUTION, removed heat sinks, added more PPCs and made this one. Total armament is 1 LRM15, 3 PPCs, and 2 medium lasers. 3 PPCs and the LRM 15 gives it a fantastic, sustainable long range punch. You can still be cooling down on the move if you just toggle it to 2 PPCs for awhile. The medium lasers are to make up for the damage lost from the LRMs if you're trying to shoot the **** in the jenner who keeps running around you and plinking away, so you can vaporize him and go back to beating up dropships or something.

Overview
The Long Range Assasin was designed as a close support 'Mech built for the Star League as part of a limited two-year contract starting in 2561. Being a fire support 'Mech, the Long Range Assasin is not as fast as other 'Mechs of similar weight. This is because the Catapult is designed to stay at the edge of the battlefield providing fire support for friendly units. The one upper hand that this 'Mech does hold is in maneuverability with a jumping distance of one hundred and twenty meters to allow the Long Range Assasin to easily seize the high ground to give it an advantageous position for fire support operations. The Long Range Assasin is heavily used by the Capellan Confederation, although it is found in other Great House armies in smaller numbers.

Overview:
A series of shots of a bustling city fill the screen. People walk on
sidewalks, monorails glide through elevated stations, and ground cars crawl
like beetles over crowded avenues.

The camera closes on a single car. An enormous mechanical foot descends on
top of it. A firey explosion fills the screen as the camera pans up. A
Mackie strides over the field of view, and down the street, PPCs firing
left and right.

A screaming crowd flees from under the shadow of the Mackie, as it
lays into the cityscape indiscriminately. The sky darkens with smoke, and fire
spews from every window.

The crackle of flames and the pounding of the Mackie's foot is broken
by the sound of a cavalry bugle. A boxy, quadrupedal Battlemech soared over a
skyscraper, landing with a threatening thud on four clawed feet. Over its
shoulder, a bright, sapphire-colored beam seared over the street.

It struck the Mackie in the center of its torso, A huge hole was gouged in
its armor, and it toppled over, erupting in a vast mushroom cloud.

The camera panned upwards, as the sun set behind a distant mountain, as
cheers rose from the street.


Capabilities:
Much to the chagrin of the small baronies and independent worlds that purchased
them in the wake of the hegemony's sudden contraction, the Xanatos does not
live up to its marketing pamphlet. Early field tests and successes against
poorly armed insurgent and guerilla forces inflated sales figures, but while
reasonably armored and reasonably quick for its size, it lacked the firepower
to stand up to contemporary military 'mechs.

Despite its deployment in distant garrisons, the Xanatos demonstrated a number
of design weaknesses as the warfare at the edge of the Hegemony heated up.
Most belied its origins as a walking tank. Most infamous are its vulnerable
ammunition magazines, for its leg-mounted antipersonnel weaponry. While the
legs' superstructure is designed to blow away from the 'mech, the necessities
of fully sealed armor simply created a deadly channel for explosive force and
shrapnel to destroy the 'mech's myomer actuators.

It is not hopeless, however. It has demonstrated itself supremely capable
against infantry, and against light Battlemechs, where its rear armament might
come into play, it does have potential. And in urban combat, it can hold its
own.

Availability depends on the year. In case of the Succession Wars-era it goes from 2781-2865 and resurfaces back in 3040. The "default year" for the succession wars-era is 3025-ish (or at least between 2951 and 3030).
