Cool idea! I've always wondered, why the ComGuards didn't try to emulate the modular weapon mounts of the Mercury.

Anyway, I've been thinking about the last mech. Since we already have a fast assault and a slow-ish light, I decided to go for a fast medium with the last one. Since the wasn't a third name given, I named it after the General who defeated Attila and the Huns, I thought it would make sense after Tukayyid, playing the "We saved you all from the Barbarians!" card and all that.

Overview:
Named after Flavius Aetius, the roman General who defeated Attila the Hun on
the Catalaunian Fields more than 2500 years ago, the Aetius is one of the many
new designs fielded by the ComGuards after Tukayyid. Like his namesake, the
Aetius is meant to protect Civilization from the conquering hordes of the
Clans.


Designed to fight the Clans, the Aetius utilizes as much cutting edge
technology as possible, to create a mech that combines speed, firepower and
survivability in a way not seen since the final decades of the Starleague. The
mix of heavy energy weapons and precise missle systems makes it at every range,
while the inclusion of MASC allows the pilot to outrun everything he can't
outgun. Finally, the Pilot can call in friendly artillery strikes via the
headmounted TAG.

Not bad, I like the angle and she could be a replacement for the canon Grim Reaper. Hmm.....

Glad you like her! I'm not sure about her being a replacement for the Grim Reaper, though. Don't you think she lacks close-in punch, compared to the Reaper?

You misunderstand the use of the word replace. See being an AU certain designs may get shelved while others are advanced.  ;)

The second one reminds me of the Razorback.
