Description
I wasn't thinking of Battletech in particular at the time, but I'm sure there's a mech that looks like this one. . the Archer or the Longbow or something.Related content

Errrr... Try urbanmech. It looks far too similar to that 'fan-favorite'...

Pfft, it looks NOTHING like it

Hmmm... replace the top and missiles for a dome then maybe we get a urbanmech... But really, the lack of arms and stocky legs...

This honestly wouldn't be the first or the last mech to look like that anyway

It's a little odd and perhaps a little too top-heavy, but when you have that many missiles, it's all good!

ARMS ARE JUST A WASTE OF SPACE WHERE GUNS COULD GO!

Oh hey, you're right!
hmmm... LRM boat Sunder?
In which case, I think that's a rotary AC-2.
And I feel like there's got to be at least a couple medium lasers or SRMs hidden somewhere. Like under the shoulder panels.
That many ammo-dependent weapons, this MUST be a Davion experiment, right?
Alternately, there are 17 missile tubes per arm, so it could be 2 LRM-10, 2 SRM-6, and for some reason a TAG launcher, if you're willing to ignore all the tubes being the same size. Or one tube each could actually be a medium laser.
I think I like this: 2 LRM-15, 6 med Lasers (2 rear-facing), and 2 SRM-6 in the shoulders, and 1 Rotary AC-2.
SHOULD be able to fit that into 90 tons, right?

Fair, I suppose that I posted my whole thought process for the benefit and hopefully response of any other Battletech fans in the thread...

Big Zam. With missile launchers instead of beam cannons.

It may not have any arms but it still as dangerous as any other giant battle mech.

You have no arms! What are you going to do, bleed on me?

I dunno why, but theres something I don't like about this mech...
π: 0 β©: 1
Its lack of arms? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
And big guns. Yeah, thats likely it.

It look like half AT-AT,only the head is the body,so I'll consider it look like the AT-ST.Both are from Star Wars.

It is a bit like a shortened, less circular longbow.

Well, dang, now I really want to look up the frankenmech rules and build this...
How much mass do you think it has? 50 tons? 60? More?
I think I'd like to make it in that range, to give it good speed while still well armored...

I think it's kinda like the Vulture... Though the missile racks are a bit shorter then the vulture's
π: 0 β©: 1
And that thar Vulture has moar gunz
π: 0 β©: 1
eh never really used them much in Mechcommander... Though they were much better then Catapults

eh in the end it becomes whatever I can salvage cause I'm a cheapskate

He looks a little top heavy. No arms to hold himself up should he fall. Lots of missiles though which is always good.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's why you haz big feets :3
π: 0 β©: 1
Even with big feet, he's still bipedal, and can't get up once he falls.

It's counter-intuitive, but it's actually easier to balance a top-heavy object than a bottom-heavy one.
Still might have issues getting back up, unless it can use jump jets for that...
