Seriusly, you Daviots have a Capellan mech fetish. :blink:


Of course they do. Lacking sufficent Davionist designs of their own, the Fedrat naturally gravitates to whatever he can scavenge from fallen Capellans. (After all, they stole the Cataphract AND tons of Ravens...) :lol:

Fd another excellent rendering. It looks beautiful, and dangerous. I like this mech but i prefer its meaner brother the Caesar. Hopefully in mechlab i can make one.

Intresting choice, I can see a lot of folks getting behind this model.

Wonder how this will affect the Centurion as a mech choice. The Cataphract basicly fills the same role, has the same speed, jump jets, 2.5 more tons of armor and a heavier load out...

BUT the Centurion looks cooler.

Does the wording say "No Wolves, No Furries"?


Nope. "No Wolves, No Problems."

The Waco Rangers HATE HATE HATE Wolf's Dragoons, a feud that'll last for decades.

Another unexpected, but excellent choice.

The similarity between this mech and the Thantos appropriate and makes me very, very happy. I think I must have one of these.

Hmmm... The story features CTF-3D, but we have a picture of CTF-1X (or CTF-3L). Why is that?

I just found my ride...WOW!!

It looks fantastic, has a good weapons load out (I prefer the PPC configuration more though but W/E) and JUMP JETS!!

Unless a Highlander makes it in, I plan on taking this puppy all day everyday!

I figured FD just paired up the Waco hatred of Wolves with his feelings on Furries (as depicted in previous deviantart). I like my version better. :lol:

Woo! And Liao is for heavies!



Actually I think you mean, Davion for the heavies.

Liao designed it but the Davions brought to production after taking Tikonov. Oddly their Caesar is a lot more like "Frankie's" original design, and that was 100% Feddie.

I never really liked the way this mech looked in the Tech readouts, always seemed awkward. But this looks great.

I love the Cataphract. Really, I love any heavy mech with 4 Medium lasers. Good pick, PG!

Replace the LB-X AC/10 for the Gauss, remove the MASC and you got a Caesar.

The story depicts a Cataphract 3D, the picture a 3L: yay! Looking forward to both variants.
