The model used for the Founder's Catapult is the coolest model in the entire game. If it was available as a Hero mech, I would buy it even if the price was 10,000 MCs.

I rarely see any founders use their Founder Catapult anyway, and I don't care if said Hero mech was just an inferior version of existing Catapult variants. I just want a mech that looks like that. Paint it any colour, make it stand apart from the Founder Catapult, I don't care.

Just take my money and give me a mech that looks similar.

PS: Founder members need not remind me that Founder mechs should not be available to new players, or that they're already disappointed by their Founder mech. I get it. I just want to use a Catapult variant with that chassis. If it only has 1 missile hardpoint and 1 energy hardpoint, I would still buy it.

The founders Catapult is a CPLT-C1. Just get one and paint it...

I'm talking about the 3D model. It looks different. No paint will change that.

Like all the other founder mechs, it looks VERY different to the common versions.

Well, I can't believe some of the founders were disappointed with the design. Anyway, I don't think it's inapprorpaite that hero mechs have slightly more going on than a unique paint job

Don't worry... Like I said in another thread. Being my online tag says I'm now STAFF and I have gotten the corner office I wanted, I put in a rush order for next month's hero mech to be a Catapult.

Only legendaries have it, because elites chose the atlas instead because it doesn't suck hard as the c1

Yep, I know I chose the Atlas before I became Legendary.

But I'm glad I went this road, I use all 4 of my founders mechs regularly.

[Kdogg788]

I chose the C1 and don't regret the decision, besides, the Legendary's spent twice as much money, and have the D and not the DC as their Founder mech. Not using mine as much, not because I think it sucks, but because I'm working other mechs.

And more bang for your buck.

EDIT: I'm also wishing I had gotten the C1. Atlas-D is boring as hell these days. And I'm always jealous of the C1 model when I see it in game.

I can't tell... they all look the same to me on the ground with their ears blown off smoldering.

Excellent. Give it the nose of the Founder mech and my children shall sing songs of your accomplishment from generations hence.

Lies...

C1 doesn't suck 3 LL build, with 2 srm6s is very viable, with the release of this patch, I will give 3 LPL a shot.

I chose the C1 when I was elite.

Only reason I stopped using it was jump jets were borked. Yesterday with just two of the four max for my JJ's on the A1, I was jumping on the heads of my team mates with ease. You'll see my founder's C1 fielded again now.

It's the most pronounced of the bunch, followed closely by the Atlas with it's unique head (the reason I had to get it!). The Jenner has a slightly different (more rounded) shape to the head which is only really noticeable if you get a good look at it standing still; the Hunchback is pretty much identical besides the washed-out paintjob and different-colored cockpit glass. I guess Hunchbacks just look like Hunchbacks, though.

The C1 is an incredible 'mech. On par with the Atlas? Actually, yes, considering the Catapult Is arguably one of the best Battlemechs in this game.

I for one can do equally as good in my C1 than In my Founders Atlas. They are both great.
