These schmucks are approaching what I like to call a "reverse Afghanistan" sexuality here:

It's an, erm, UrbanMech spinoff! I'll call it a "Titan".

Also some green radioactive crystals that might prove useful.... if they can be harvested.

I don't only do BattleTech. An interrogator-chaplain of my Dark Angels successor.

An armored bulldozer I made. Mechs might dominate the setting, but engineers still carve the way!

A fascinating early Inner Sphere Omni, the Avatar! It's not quite as good as the Clan mech it's based on (but what is), but the Avatar is still quite a capable and flexible machine.

Black Hawk-KU looking for trouble. I'm testing a new paint scheme, this one ended up being quite dusty.

Having a buttload of medium lasers is unimaginative but hard to beat. Maybe I'll go with the PPC version occasionally. Mobile firepower!

Some compare the Vindicator to the T-34, but I don't think that one works - the T-34 was an advanced 1930s design, radically simplified to maximize production, where the Vindicator is meant to be affordable in long campaigns of low intensity combat.

Some mechs are unfairly maligned. Others are fairly maligned. For the life of me I don't understand why you would pay all the money to have an UrbanMech when there are cheaper and better ways to move an AC10 or 20.

Yes, I have one of my own.

A "Scorpion" tank of the 31st century. Quikscell made a pretty penny off me, but at least these aren't hard to fix when they break. Wait, did I get the knockoff to the knockoff?

The Marauder, a mech with a nigh-perfect combination of firepower, armor, and mobility. The base -3R model may run a little hot for some people, but I expect Star League mechwarriors, especially Royal and Gunslinger, were more disciplined than in 3025.

Desert Raven. I want this mech to function in lore as an EW/JSTARS platform, denying data to the enemy while pinpointing positions and cueing attacks. (cont below)

Desert Bushwacker. It's an interesting mech - suffers from the same thing as the Shadow Hawk, where it packs a lot of varied weapons into a medium chassis and can't really carry anything highly potent. But it makes an excellent trooper mech.

Uziel painted in desert camouflage. One of my favorite mechs from back in MexhWarrior 4. Twin PPCs, solid speed, and jump jets make it an ideal mech for exploitation and pursuit.

Haven’t done anything Battletech in a while, but I’m still really proud of this CRB-20 I did way back when
