nice story. that pilot sure loves to find trouble, but at least she has a great mech to deal with it this time.

[Odin]

Looking good!
Love the JJs and PPC here.

[WAR SilverZ]

Wow!

[Aegis Kleais]

Would have never guessed this mech would make it into the game, but FD shows a solid "sticking to his guns" when it comes to the styling cues. She's a damn sexy mech!

Our has PPC. The Davion one has JJs.

[Damion Wolf]

It's no Marauder... but it'll do. It looks mean as Hell.

[Fomorian]

Found my new ride in game....can't wait! Great looking job on this one.

[Rougeskra]

woo hoo! fingers a itchin. can't wait.

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Beautiful! I know what I'll be piloting...

[Thanathos87]

Yeah looks promising , bit too much ammo based weaps on the davion version for my taste but a solid mech

[trycksh0t]

Holy crap! I never thought I'd actually LIKE looking at a Cataphract, but...that looks like it's going to punch you in the mouth and eat your firstborn child. That is some phenomenally mean metal FD, nice work.

[Felix Dante]

A good re-design!
I hated the old look of the Cataphract.

It's a good Heavy addition to the unit choices too with lots of different varients.

[BanditFly]

I think I found my ride boy and girls!

[Corbon Zackery]

I thought 2 of the M.lasers were rear fire weapons? Will need some sort of car backup cam with a targeting hex on it. to shoot at those scout in the back of us.

Thanks

[AceTimberwolf]

Unexpected... Cheers to the design. I wont ride one but looks great!

[Evgeny Bear]

optics do not impress me (good redesign no question) but well I will judge it after I fought with it

[Suskis]

Unneeded obscure mech. I have never played with it in 26 years of Battletech.

[TunaR]

Just realized I'm a fan of mechs with chins... Guess im sticking to calling down missiles on this boy with my Raven

[SideSt3p]

I already posted once, but I'm just too excited. Here's my proposed variant:

Endo Steep Chassis
280 Standard Engine
12 Double Heat Sinks
12 Tons Standard Armor
LB 10-X AC
4 tons Ammo
-2 tons Cluster
-2 tons Slug
CASE
ER PPC
4 Medium Lasers
4 Jump Jets

Might be a little hot, but I'd prefer that to the mis-matched ACs. Also no XL engine means more of a rugged and cheaper design!

I am SUPER excited.

ok, this is a nice mech thats finally got some love.

Every other rmech so far has featured in at least 1 mech based game, and has had some reference to it in a novel.

The 'phract has never been anywhere except the boardgame.

Commando. MW2 mercs, MPBT3025, MC, MC:G
Jenner. MW. MW2 mercs, Crescent Hawks Inception
Raven. MPBT3025, MC, MC:G, MW4 mercs
Cicada. MPBT3025
HBK. MPBT3025, MC, MC:G, MC2, MW4Mercs
Centurion. MPBT3025, MW2Mercs, MC, MC:G, MC2.
Dragon. MW4 vengeance
Catapult. MPBT3025, MC2
Cataphract. first ever outing.
Awesome. MW4 vengeance.
Atlas. MW2 Mercs. MW3, MPBT3025, MC, MC2, MC:G, MW4, MW4mercs,

(did i miss anything. probably)

Lets hope the next mech, will be an assault, and that like the Cataphract has not been in any computer games to date.
