Greetings all!

Just finished my latest Battlemech. I don't usually build them so close
together, but the creative urge hit me again. I had to run with it, and yes, I
freely admit I am obsessed with triangles at the moment!

As per usual, the stats here are represented in terms of the game of Battletech.

Mass: 55 tons
Cruising speed: 43.2kph (4 hexes)
Maximum  speed: 64.8kph (6 hexes)
Jump range : 120m (4 hexes)

Armament
1-Rotary Autocannon/2
2-Advanced Tactical Missile 3
1-Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon
1-Streak SRM4

Total Armor points: 185

Max heat buildup: 32
Heat dissipation: 28


So, without further rambling I present to you, The Talon!

There are a few interesting features that are new on this mech.

A ladder system for the pilot to use while on the battlefield.

A triangular cockpit design that can be split open along one side.

Nice. The Bley/Grey look works well on a mech. It gives it that metallic utilitarian look. This mech says it means business - and is design for close range destruction (with the large heavy weight arms - good for smashing), while having serious (...) (19 years ago, 9-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) You're so kind to your mech pilots, giving them a way to climb in and out of the cockpit! A well-armed mech, maxing out the medium weight class tonnage, this looks like one I'd pick to play in a video game (when do we get a MW5? It's been (...) (19 years ago, 11-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I love the overall shape. Especially the rounded areas. And the feet vaugely remind me of an Invid from Macross. Colors are working well too. Just a clean well done mecha. (19 years ago, 12-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
