Looks like I guessed right for a change. FD's made it look good as well. It may well tempt me out of my usual Hunchback.

Written as prime, drawn as 1x.

Whew! Thought something was amiss. Thanks for the clarification.

Great mech and could that be a Wolf's Dragoon Atlas in the background?

Honestly, I always thought the original drawings for BTwere just horrible, half of the mechs were just super ugly.

But everytime you guys work on a new version of an ugly, suddenly it's awesome and I want to play it ! Hats of to the guys who draw and model, 'cause this is really taking BT to 2012 ! ;)

The mech itself is pretty cool, and fairly rarely seen in TT...kudos.

However,

The writing for the mech is some of the worst ive ever seen.....ever in battletech that is. *I* can write better freeform short battle reports then that, and Im no writer. Whoever wrote that should be fired, along with whoever approved it for publication. Yes, its that bad...painful actually.

Whoa ... some kick butt ballistics and medium lasers AND JJs !!!

What's not to like ! ;)

I know this is a Davion ride in full production and the nickname "Frankenstein" was used but ... just look at this dude ... this mech totally has the look of an NFL Fullback !!!

Yuck then...yuck now. ;) I wish there was a barf smiley.

That is my opinion of the design. The artwork is, as always, very well done.

This is probably going to be my heavy ride.

Love FD's visualisation for it.

Cataphracking Awesome!
