How could it have Star League vibe to it, when it's a new mech from 3048? :o

Where did you get that recon part from? :o

Too much weight for normal people, but not enough for a Steiner...

The original TRO artwork for the Cataphract was pretty horrible. This is a very, very nice looking version.

I like the design aesthetic you are using.

I remember this mech from the TRO. I Thought it cool and always wondered why it hadn't been in any of the games. Looks really good, Only thing I would maybe change is to have the weaponized arm look alittle more like the classic which kind of reminded me of the end of a M1911 (.45 pistol) but all in all cant wait to strap in to one.

He must be Steiner. To them if it inst' at least 80 tons it is a scout. Sort of how the rest of the houses view hover craft. Since the Charger is the LC definition of a Scout mech.

No, theri recon consists of 100-80 ton mechs, but everything beneath is just a battle armor. :P

I'm only a little bit familiar with the Cataphract from the TT game but it looks pretty awesome. Surprising choice too.
