Shrapnel 19 Newish Clan Omni's
« on: January 16, 2025, 11:26:47 PM »
With the Battletech Activity book we were given a glimpse of the Starhawk Omni.   Now Shrapnel 19 as made this official as a Clan Snow Raven Heavy Omni created in 2948.   We are also given the Grotesque Assault Omni and Sidewinder Heavy Omni (the Sidewinder was apocryphal as a Cloud Cobra creation according to Sarna.) as a possible Clan Jade Falcon creation.   Also mentioned is the Magnum Assualt Omni circa 3054 Clan Wolf creation possible Woodsman torso on Gargoyle legs.   Shrapnel 19 kindly gave us Prime versions of the Grotesque, Starhawk and Sidewinder RS.  Maybe we will see the Warlock Assault Omni along with the Magnum someday?   How can they be incoporated into a Star/Binary/Trinary?   Would they add value and strength or be a hinderance?

Yeah I read this wolfcannon. It basically uses the kitbashes of existing Omnis seen in the original TRO3050 as earlier OmniMechs in Clan history which is pretty interesting and I really don't have a problem with it. Recycling existing structures and schematics seems very Clan to me (on brand) and could produce some intriguing early designs. I hope they follow up on this with some specifics.

Honestely i suck at art.  so if anyone could make a woodsman torso that matches Battletech Activity Book 1, we could make the Magnum Omni.   im working on using the BAB 1 to make a 2d of the Grotesque.   Sarna's Sidewinder looks off to me.

I'll have to pluck out my old TRO 3050 to take a look at some of these kitbashes which seem to be destined for canonization as original OmniMechs now. Too bad I haven't seen Siden Pryde around in years. He was the best at kitbashing BattleTech art!

I can't do that but I can try another thing.

Could you tell me from which 'Mech are the different pieces?

They throw out a few tantalizing details but there are no specs as of yet.
