Oh and NSFW, as if the people that are still sensitive to that stuff are even around anymore.

They didn't have space for all the stupid looking mechs, so the Battlemaster had to be left out of it.
Thankfully, there's a canon rendition in HC to remind us all of how retarded it is!

Well, they couldn't have stuck with the "Fang of the Sun: Dougram" version now could they have.

The redo is pretty awesome though.
Too bad HC doesn't have that one.

I always liked the original, i guess because it was the first assault mech i bought. IMO it looks meaner than the redo, and it looks cooler with the gun-in-hand.

The problem wit the old Battlemaster is the cockpit is way too big and the arms are stumpy.

TRO:3055 has the worst of all IMO, the cream of the dubious crop being the Thunder:

It looks like Darth Vader in fetish-style thigh-high platform boots, with a trashcan on his arm.

Nah, that's just more Capellan failure bleeding over into mech form.

It doesn't walk.
It slides.

The only thing mean about this is when I stick 2 LG, 2 Cap and a PPC on it. It looks cuddly, for god's sake!

I also like how the gun is on the wrong arm in the TRO pic.

I know!
It can swap hands. It's like the first Omnimech, it can just pick up those guns sitting on the ground and start firing...
