Ahh I remember the upgraded version of the Jaggermech used in Mechwarrior, ony mech ever capable of mounting the anti mech railgun, wheighing in at something close too 40 tonnes on it's own and taking up 5 slots hehe

Only five slots? Are you sure?

I think it was Mech 4: Mercenaries, huge sodding railgun, was 5 or eight, I cant remember, been a year or so since I played, could one hit wonder a Atlas tho with good aiming <3

Ohhh, MW4, okay. They used a cracked-out slot system in that one... worked well, though.

You mean the Long Tom?

No, the long toms are shit compared too the Mercs railgun, can only be mounted in a upgraded mech with a even larger back cannon.

This thing makes LongToms looks like clan machineguns with 24 bullets

Yea, clan Railgun, 7 slots, 28 tons, 56 damage.

It could only be fit on the Behemoth IIc I believe. Came standard on it.

You could only get that mech by gettign MechTech's mechpack 3 installed on your game.

Big slow lumbering beast. If it didn't pop an atlas in the head the first time it was generally gonna loose an arm or leg. And after surviving that a flea could nip at it's heals till it was dead.

OMG THATS BRUTAL

Rofl

I'm still trying to figure out how to do lighting like that, gonna take me a looooooot of practice I think XD

*noddles* It really really does just take practice. It took me a while to wrap my head around it

Hell YEAH!

:D *high-fiveS*

*high fives back with a grin*

Woo, mech fight! :D

Lookit em duke it out! x3

Hell yeah to macross/robotech

Same design, different game. This is from Battletech, a boardgame from the early 90's.

I agree. :3

yay for Un-seen Marauder!

:3

never really liked the jagers....

Thats why he's getting his shoulders sawed off by the PPC's. ;) Never was a huge fan of them either, but I needed an Inner Sphere period mech to go with the Marauder.

yeah, jagers are perfect for that.. slow, limited hvy weapon payload (aside ballistics) and for me i totally prefer ppcs than anything else... XD... do mad cat PLLLZZZZ... xD hehehe alpha strike!! blamo!

Just needs to be careful in order to keep from getting nailed in the cockpit.

Oh Battletech, the designs, the rules, the translations <3

^^ I just got done doodling one that involves the mech on mech physical combat that the board game covers that the games left out.

Really seems like you are getting better Agro, nice mechs.

Thanks! :) More on the way.

My Battletech playing friends and I have an in-joke about the Jagermech (which is a co-opting of a Simpsons reference because we are nerds).

" 'Jager' meaning 'suck', and 'mech' meaning 'mech'. This concludes your two week intensive training."

Lol. I thought Jager meant Hunt.

bummer

The Jagermech had it coming. >>

Then it's Nova out of fucking no-where beating the shit out of everything. Fifty thousand Atlases and Mad Cats blown to shit vs one Nova.

D:

:D oh joy

:D

Hell yeah!! Marauder IIC FTW!!!

:D Classics man, classics!

HUZZAH FOR MARAUDERS! PPCs away!

I was confused as to whether that was actually Jagermech or not, for it's been a long while since I've seen one. I first confused it for an Awesome. XD;

You're right, they do share the same shoulder designs. :) But yeah, it's a Jager.

Eeehehehe...Marauder is one of my fav 'Mechs, probably #2 or #3 on my list. Top spot, of course, goes to its big brother, the Marauder-II. A 100-ton 'Mech with jump jets and a ginormous friggin' rail gun? Yes, please.

I always prefered the classics, myself. :)

Marauder ftw ^^ My favourid Mech is fighting and winning! Perfect ;)

^_^

Looks like a Zentraedi Officer pod <.<

Many of the original Battletech designs were clones of Macross designs. The person who designed the mechs sold them to macross first, and then went and sold them to FASA who then made Battletech. FASA had no idea they had been bought by another company, so for many years the two shared the same designs. Of course eventually FASA had to remove them from their games.

dunno why they'd sell a design to another different group of people, but oh well.

oh... I see

PPC! PPC! PPC!

Nothing better than linking all weapons in a Stalker and firing. Instant overheat + Instant death.... just don't miss =3

Lol! I had one of those in Mech 3. Supernova with 6 ER Large Lasers. One trigger pull and KABLEWY

you did a very nice job!

^_^

Thanks! :)

you are very welcome Argo

: )

^^

*gives you a box of chocolate*

8D

For being such and Awsome Person!

*noms on cookies happily* :3 Thank you! ^^ *hugs*

Your very welcome!

*smiles and happly returns theh hug*

x)

One thing I enjoyed about battletech was all of the well balanced light and medium Mechs. And then you'd run into one that randomly had a Gauss Rifle strapped to its shoulder. XD

Yeah, some have nasty surprises. Those ruin your day.

The most memorable was the Hollander II. I first saw one in Mech-Commander. Damn thing made a critical hit on one of my light mechs and one-shot the guy. XD

Was also the same map where you fight a Mad Cat at the end... mission 3 I believe. Worth replaying if you don't capture the Cat on the first try.

The damage is well done! Very nice work with the action pose and balance of the firing mech :)

Thanks Vitty! I was especially proud of the damage. :)

Too bad they had to take the Marauder and the IIC version of him out of the mech cader, because they basically just ripped them off Macross got sued.

They did get sued, but the circumstances were different.

Wow, AgroAntirrhopus, this is really cool! And not just because it's about giant fighting robots. ^^ Saying you're "pretty good" with the lighting is a huge understatement, I think the lighting is is very markedly well done. I'm really impressed with how you vary the intensity of it, from the bright white on the Jager to the pale glow on the Marauder, it all comes together very nicely. I surprised no one mentioned the smoke effects either, considering I think you did a very cool job with them as well.

And really, I had no idea there were this many other people who knew of BattleTech and such. This sort of thing brings back a lot of memories, thanks a lot for doing these couple of images, AgroAntirrhopus! ^^

^^ Again, glad I could bring back memories.

Always loved the Marauder. Such a bad ass machine. x3

I'm such a second-generation kid in these things. My Dad grew up building and hand-painting these models... all I ever had were the Mechwarrior video games (the -only- reason to own a 4-axis joystick controller) but I've been playing them since I was five years old. I remember my dad teaching me multiplication by asking out how many LRMs would weigh in vs. my SRMs. You can see why I prefer energy weapons. XD

Great picture! I <3 the dual-PPC.

i bet a counter-pounce would change the entire situation =P

So the Jagermech is winning right? I mean he's got that Auto Cannon pointed right at the head of the Marauder. Life can suck ^^

Aw, man, nostalgia. I had a toy of the red one. >.-.>

Agro has you ever played Earth Seige? rawr? :P

I played and loved the hell out of Starsiege. Does that count? :3

perhaps x3 hehehehe ^.+.^ I loved Uprising for the PS1 but yesh x3 hehehe i loved all games that involved mechanical things with guns >:3

OH YEAH :D


Still have to say maddog is my favorite tho :3

Marauder! You were always my favorite. *patpats unwisely*

ok, really good work here. Been playing for YEARS and love to see good art.

O.o! Battletech!? Oh man what memories XD, when I played for first time the MW2 was fun, now with the ares I caught the old MW3, now I played the expansion of MW4! Ah, good memories.

PPC's?
Can't see that Jagermech winning that fight anymore, though depends if it can get the marauder int he face with that autocannon.

l@z0r b33mz! P3w p3w! Pew!

Its a shame the company got sued for copying mech designs or didnt bother to ask permission. I kind like the animtated series they had before got cancelled

Well, it's not exactly what happened. They had those designs licensed from a art house. Unfortunately, the art house that came up with the designs simultaneously sold them to both FASA, and the folks making Robotech, Dougram, and Crusher Joe. For years neither company realized they overlapped. When they realized it, if memory serves, FASA decided it would be easier and less costly just to remove the designs from the game than pursue legal action.

Oh so thats what happen, i thought robotech sue them. Anyways is good game, its a shame their no mechwarrior coming out for console. It was the only PC game that i played. ^^ Vultire, Mad Cat, and Daishi my personal favorite

MAD-3R, god I love that 'mech.
