You know not to long ago there was a thread that got shut down on the forums about the Omega. People couldnt behave like civilized human beings so I am assuming that is why it was shut down. But the Omega, while an awesome mech, was devoloped by The Word of Blake. There were only 30 made by Skobel Mechworks in Russia towards the end of the Jihad. They only saw combat on Tera from what I understand. Most (if not all) of them were a part of the Word of Blake 51st Shadow Division. The 51st was the Word of Blake's Teran guard unit, and thus never left the Sol system at all. Just so that I can shoot a couple of myths out of the water:
This mech started out as a fan concept but was officially adopted by Catalyst when they put the mech's specifications into "Jihad:Final Reckoning". So this does make it a cannon mech. The data sheet for it came with the miniature itself making it a viably playable mech in the Battletech boardgame.
Its armament includes 3 M-7 Gauss Rifles and 2 Imperator Code Red LB 10-X Autocannons. The 3 Gauss on the top of the mech, and the 2 LB ACs in the arms. Its max speed was only 32 KPH, its cruising speed was 21 KPH.
Should this ever be included in MW:O? I dont think so. If it did then I would say that it should make an appearance as an AI controlled (or even Dev controlled) opponent and no single player should have control over it. With only 30 of the mechs made they would be VERY rare to see. Also, considering the current timeline, we are coming up on 3050. The allied invasion of Tera takes place sometime around 3081. A LONG time from the current MW:O timeline. In an effort to stick with cannon, if they were ever to bring out the Omega, then they would end up having to bring out the Word of Blake Celestials such as the C-ANG-O Archangel. These mechs are so far in technological superiority that to the Clan mechs they appear far more superior. The technological difference is HUGE compared to what we are using in game now.
It would be a great thing to see OP, but we are still a long ways off. As for your other mechs that you want to see, those should be soon to come seeing as how the timeline is coming into the clan invasion.
