that's fair enough, it's certainly not unreasonable to have specially pimped mechs run about the place, and a Atlas is one of the mechs that are comparatively easy to get parts for, and so heavily armored that at least the endo-chassis would easily survive unscathed for most of the succession wars. but the FF armor ?The T stands for "Tyler", because I made it.I envision it as not a prototype so much as a one-off production model for an SLDF guardsman who was also a highly placed noble. Kinda how the Pininfarina P4/5 is a Ferrari Enzo but so customized as to really deserve its own designation.
Since LBX-series cannons are a buttload less interesting without ammo switching, and ammo switching would be a tall order for launch, UI wise (since only the 10-X would exist in game, and only on the Atlas II), AND the PGI Atlas we have doesn't support the hardpoint locations the AS7-D-H has (E.G. I can't put an AC on the arm cuz there's no prefab to attach)... I made the HT. Which, in my own little headcannon, is the result of a member of the SLDF hybridizing a standard AS7's weaponry (like the AC20) and the more advanced chassis of an AS7-D-H.
Cuz he wanted the new tech, but the old punch.
it's been sitting in a cache somewhere for a long long time haven't it ?
but i figure we will learn more from the game once it gets here.
