Ahhh... fond memories of having a good friend whimsically dive my tree-parked, ERPPC, LBX10 and 4 Mplas totin', alpha-striking Cataphract. It was like wielding a mini Clan omni! He never did get back up again... :)

Great. With the addition of this Mech I can't just say "Incoming Catap" cause people will now wonder if it's a CataPULT or a CataPHRACT.

Thanks PGI..... just.... thanks.

If you release a Phracapult... I quit.

Considering that the Catapult uses a hard P and the Cataphract uses a soft P, "Incoming Catap!" and "Incomping Cataf!" should be different enough.

Now you know as well as I do people are just gonna say "Was that CataPUH or CataFFF??"

Like how there are multiple letters of the alphabet that rhyme. B, C, D, E, G, P, T, V, Z......

I'll just spell it out with military alphabet.

The artwork for the mechs continues to look absolutely beautiful.

As does the mech lineup itself. It's gonna be fun testing them out.

Story is talking about a CTF-3D, while the picture depicts a CTF-1X, the original protytpe with AC10, PPC, and 4 Med Lasers.
