Love the Wacos Ranger unit mark on the leg, and the anti Wolf Dragoons pilot art on the inside left wrist, very canon themed artwork . All of the designs look great so far!!

Reminds me of the thug mech. I love it

That is a beautifully re-done cataphract. Freaking amazing artwork!
Now i honestly want to see your redesign of like every mech at sarna. im dying to see how you guys pimp out a Mauler, or Orion.

Hell even the warhammer, cuz frankly all you have to do is keep the same weapon load out, but put it on a different design. And with this artwork!? Im pretty damn sure you can re-invent the warhammer's look so legal issues wont even be there. Just sayin

This, This, This. I totally agree, get those unseen some new clothes and bring them out!!!!

Wrong. The CC was still producing them. There is a cannon 3050 variant for the CC. Much better in my opinion.

As a side note the LB-10x is not a faction weapon like the Ultra 5 is for FS. With the FS obsession with AC/5s I wonder how they actually did well until the special AC ammo came out.

CTF-3L - An upgraded version of the Cataphract that follows more in line with the prototype 1X model, the 3L variant is propelled by an XL Engine with MASC which allows it to move at speeds up to 86.4 km/h in short bursts. The 'Mech is armed with an LB-X Autocannon/10 as its primary weapon which is matched with an ER PPC for powerful striking capabilities at long range. The 'Mech is also armed with four Medium Pulse Lasers for close combat. This design was produced by the Confederation at Grand Base following the ascension of Chancellor Romano Liao.

Whats weird is that the Fedsuns AC fetish kinda came around later on in BT. Yah the Enforcer mounted an AC and was a homegrown Mech, but the Davion Rifleman variant replaced its AC's with PPC's. The whole sun and sword frothing at the mouth over AC's was kinda retconned in when they were given the RAC and special AC munitions (which why would you design new bullets that can't be used in new types of AC's like the Ultra and LBX, way to go NAIS.)

Later or not, you still take our mechs and then change them into some of your crappy variants. Not only Cataphract, but look at the Raven. The ones you have threw away all electronics for one stupid LL?!

Your engineers know nothing about making mechs.

I find this 'Mech relevant to my interests.

[MechRaccoon]

OH MY GOD. I THINK I JUST FOUND A NEW FAVORITE MECH OTHER THAN THE CENTURION.

Aaaaaand, it's official.

Capellan Confederation can't be beaten. If it was, all of you would loose such awesome mechs.

[Gigaton]

Somebody needs to give Davions 'mechs of their own.

That got me thinking. Is there any actual Davion mech worth using in this era (I mean popular)?
Everything from 30th century and older + everything 3050 and up doesn't count.

[wwiiogre]

Is it me or is that the PPC/AC10 variant shown in the pic?

Yes, it is. Who would use that crappy Davion variant, anyway (well, besides our female merc).

[wwiiogre]

Well with the AC10/PPC and 4xMedLasers you get 40 pts damage output, but does it have the heatsinks to cope with that? With the AC5/AC10 Variant you could make a respectable rifleman out of it. Upgrade the 4 med lasers to two large lasers and downgrade the AC10 to two UAC5's and oh my you have a more heavily armored jumping version of a Rifleman. I want me one of those.
