I like it, it may not be clan but the fact that its new and refreshing (I.E never seen it in a MW game before is awesome).

Design workover is excellent guys keep up the good work!

The Artwork is again wonderful

[Morang]

Good. 70 tons, all direct-fire armament, standard speed... Not much armor, but can be up-armored at the expense of jump jets if needed (if there is a jumping variant in the game as written, not only 1X as drawn). Just good.

Vote next heavy Mech: Cataphract

Battlemech 11: Cataphract

Mission complete: yay!

[Mota Prefect]

Absolutely SEXY! I can't wait to pilot this beast.

[Valkyrie Onyx]

Cool looking mech i dont think i've seen it before.

[Dhimmi]

was hoping for the Caesar but this one is equally sweet

[Solis Obscuri]

It definitely fills a needed role, though I admit that I would have chosen the Orion for that role over the Cataphract.

I do like the use of a Merc Corps (Waco Rangers) paint scheme, though!

Also, the XL version (-3D) starts at 13.5M C-Bills - almost 150% the cost of an AS6-D Atlas. At 6M C-Bills, the CTF-1X is probably a better starting point, and I do have to say I'd like to try the combination of a PPC and an AC/10 on the field (though I'd like some crit-seeker SRMs to follow them up, not just MLasers!) The look of that model, though... a little different. Might be just the thing for some of the Marauder fans, though...

Sigh, this game is starting to do the same to me when picking up an automobile catalog with new models - you start to dream and wonder where you will turn up the money for it - these announcments are a real torture.

On my wishlist

Yup. FD hit it out of the park again.

[Baphomech]

I'll definitely be adding this chassis to my stable.

[Jonathan J Force]

I love the unit symbol, Waco Rangers! The Crazies are here!

[NeGetiv]

Im really loving this design

[Stahlseele]

Yes, we can definitely forgive the centurion and the raven for this one *-*

[derhammer]

me gusta !
i will start the game with this one now, just great !

btw: is it just me or does the artwork look a little "grainy" ?

[B1ackwolf]

Very Nice Artwork.. But Catapult got still the best

[Numinos]

Definitely a nice and unique design of both mech and art. Want one already!

[chaz706]

I like it!

Now that's a mech that seems more like an iconic heavy role to me than the Dragon (large Cavalry) or a Catapult (Support).

It can keep up and even outmaneuver the two trooper mediums, and it's got better firepower and armor as well.

I see it as a first rate Trooper. Something that would be good to build a large part of your force out of.
