Hmm... an interesting choice.
I have to admit: the art looks much better than the TRO

Now that's what I'm talking about. This is the first mech of the 11 listed that I know I want to get. SHAZZAM!

[Antorian]

Yes yes and yes. This is the Mech I've been waiting to see! Good show. Now, about those clan mechs...

[Leon Kousenberg]

This is a very nice surprise for the Heavy Mech.

[Taram]

Sweet... always liked the Cataphract. Glad to see it's in the game. Hoping for word of closed/open beta this week! I haven't noticed... is the Shadow Hawk going to be in game? It was originally an unseen but was reseen under a new agreement when clan tech was introduced.

Down Right Sexy. Thou I still getting me a Raven

nice remake of the original.. less organic which imo makes it more potent looking. gratz.

[Wolf Hreda]

Ooh... I remember in one of the books, I think in the Warrior Trilogy, the Cataphract was one hell of an infighter. If melee combat is included eventually, this one will be a big time brawler. Well done, Flying Debris.

Now this is what I'm talking about. I'm really glad to see the Cataphract make it's debut into the Mechwarrior franchise. I've been sold on it for years now and am surprised it never made the rosters until recently.

Personally, I was expecting the Grasshopper, but with a Catapult as a jumper, we've already met quota on the airborne units. I'm just glad we didn't take the tired Orion route for this one (FWL already has the Awesome, Cicada, and Hunchback).

Introducing players to designs that they've never seen before is a great way to keep interest circulating. I can't wait to see people fielding this beast of a 'mech on the field.

On an alternate note, I really hope TPTB give the LB-X autocannon what it's been lacking in prior mechwarrior games (And what made it so versatile in tabletop): the option to switch between slug rounds and cluster rounds.

GREAT JOB, GUYS! EXCELLENT ARTWORK ON THIS ONE, MR IGLESIAS!

Love it.

[Eruthis]

This can really only be described as a miracle, FD took an unsavably ugly design and made if amazing. WELL DONE!!! I am seriously reconsidering my Dragon with this one. I also dug the flav text, it brought a good amount of the mechs character to play and that was very cool.

[Waylandx]

Looking good! Might try this one

[dboy]

I think this is the first mech I want to try.

[Brien]

Love a good Heavy, NICE!

[The Smith]

I like this one a lot.

[Beazle]

WTB 3L variant, pst.

[AlexZander]

Right on, great looking Mech! Love the artwork.

[Steel Raven]

A Cataphract thats close to the original and still looks good!? Well done Alex, you have proven to me that you can make any mech look good!
