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

No, the one on the picture is 1X. Look at the second page and find Alex's comment.

Written as prime, drawn as 1x.

Looks great

[GrimJim]

I think someone mentioned that this is the 1X (or, even better, the Capellan 3L variant. That thing is a beast & if its an upgradable option I'm there!)


Ack!!! Ninja'd by a whole Clan!

The 1X is very nice, no expensive glass jaw XL engine... but it doesn't have Jump Jets

So... Two heavies with jump jets, 4x medium lasers and chicken legs. One is the Catapult and one is the Cataphract. Seems like kind of a pattern, hah.

[Storm McIntyre]

Oh.. My.... Beautiful!! Another masterpiece FD!!!!

[Donner]

It is a nice mech, but it needs to be demolished because it belongs to Waco's Rangers.

[CrescentHawk]

That is one awesome looking cataphract. Nice little story too. Kinda makes me want to pilot one despite it being a capellan mech.

[Shredhead]

Is this the 1X version I'm looking at? NIIIIICCCEEEEEE!

[Haakon Valravn]

Is not Marauder. Maybe 'Mech 15.

[Hawk819]

Christmas has definitely come early. . . and it's not even July, yet!

[IxxxI]

Damn it... so unexpected and so pleasing choice of heavy 'Mech. I thank all of you PGI! Kudos to Flying Debris, btw can we get updated large image of gorgeous Cataphract please? Current one has artifacts after scaling I believe.

[PropagandaWar]

This ones a Beut. Gonna have to give it a whirl.

[Zomb1e]

Awesome job with this one. This was a 'Mech in serious need of a visual upgrade. It's still easily recognizable for what it is, but now it looks so much meaner. Love it!

[Flawless]

I have to give y'all some credit. You truly find ways to make mechs that don't really stand out to me and turn them into incredibly sexy machines.

[Rajen]

Now I know why they called it a "Frankenstein" mech!
I won't argue, though...I'll grab it!!

[McQueen]

If I can't have an Axman this will certainly do. Great mech and great look.

[LtColClaymore]

Okay !! Awesome design. Fave rit really over the old one. (altought not bad)
11 mechs so far. hopefully whe get the same amout as Mw4 mercenaries
Differt model of the time ofcourse but

I like this model!! Oldskool Yet modern!

Yup will take this for a spin ant time it i can play the beta or. launch game!

Good work!!

[Karyudo ds]

Sweet, another mech I NEVER liked.

But this time, I like it! Good job FD! I was sad as the choices of heavies (aka my favorite X is missing syndrome) but these are looking pretty good. Tempting. Who knows I may find a new favorite in MWO. Not a bad thing, Battletech had lots of ugly mechs. Still waiting to see the Centurion in game though

NO! No mech can replace my Axman!!! Though this isn't a bad looking heavy either way.
