Very nice and beautiful artwork. I wonder if it will start off with the 1X or the 3D like the one in the story?

Great mech. It has been forever since I played MW, but from what I have been reading so far- I am Really going to like this!

Later or not, you still take our mechs and then change them into some of your crappy variants. Not only Cataphract, but look at the Raven. The ones you have threw away all electronics for one stupid LL?!

Your engineers know nothing about making mechs.

Nah we just mess up the Capellan ones to mess with your heads, we keep the real Mechs like the Caesar and Axman in reserve when your mouth drops when you see what we did to your designs and then ambush you.

It's so good

[toncrell]

ok looks good, but were is the shadowhawk,battlemaster,wasp,hornet,and phonixhawk? these mechs are what made battletech and mech warrior what it was!

Now this is a first brand new mech in MW.

Sorry boys and girls of the Capellan Confederation, this happens to be the Cataphract model manufactured in the Federated Commonwealth. We do thank you for the hard work and dilligence you showed by actually designing and building a working battlemech, it's too bad that it took FC know-how to provide a decent working model.

Oh, we are pretty happy that this is the FedSuns version. Why? Because this version is crap.

3L is the way to go.

Caesar is a mech based on our Cataphract. You messed up Cataphracts, so you made a bigger one with our confing and voila, Caesar.

The one on the picture is 1X. The actual beast, not like you crappy 3D version. We took our original success and built a factory for 3L, which is based on teh original model + the new tech to kick your ***.

Nice artwork, as always, but why Cataphract? I understand no IS heavy mech has the aura of Clanner ones, but this one has neither great lore like Orion, nor specialization of Jagermech, nor iconic design of Marauder... mediocre choice at best

That'đ because we needed a true heavy.

Catpult is a missile boat and Dragon is an oversized medium. Another specialised heavy like Jagermech doesn't make sense. And the Orion (while being famous for being Kerensky's mech) can still make it in, but we needed some mech of the era now, not a mech that saw the fall of Star League.

[RangerRob]

I'll be getting one. Very nice looking ride.

[guardian wolf]

Nice loving this mech, great job FD.

[SideSt3p]

I'm not going to lie. I LOVE this 'Mech design. I have no idea why. In my 3050 TRO Book I HATED this thing, I felt it looked funny and the double A/Cs made me laugh at how rediculous they seemed.

But I keep STARING at this thing. I mean, I love it so much I made it my desktop background!! I mean I just sit at my computer with the background up so I can just look at it. NEVER did I think I'd have this strong of a reaction to a design. I mean they all look amazing, but this thing is screaming at me to play it.

[Ryukin]

Love the mech, and I like the stories that go with these mech reveals
