Great job drak with our fourth entry!

And I did see one interesting theory, that somewhere the writers got the names/fluff mixed up. The Cauldron as it stands now was possibly meant to be called the Kingfisher, whilst the Kingfisher was meant to be called the Cauldron Born. It does make sense, the Kingfisher tends to be the unstoppable zombie of a Mech, the Cauldron is no zombie and tends to be packed with explodium.

That is an interesting theory marauder648 and one that makes sense - where did you hear that? I read into the Kingfisher name as an anti-Sea Fox/Diamond Shark moniker perhaps designed by Snow Raven. Interestingly enough the Sharks do not use the Mech.

Dude I know, just looking at the Primes so far has got me going to challenge the Jaguars for one of these rides!

Hopefully Ice Hellion is laboring away on his version of this bad boy.  ;)

The theory was just one that was brought up in the MOTW about the Cauldron, just a fan theory, but it makes a lotta sense that somewhere they got their wires crossed when doing the fluff.

Did both designs appear originally in the Black Thorns book?

Not a clue, apparently so.

The Kingfisher was first in Black Thorns and Cauldron Born was in Battle of Luthien fyi

I misspoke. I have posted five new configurations. Fluff is forthcoming, though ideas are in place for at least three of them.

New fluff has been added as well as a sixth new config (minor variation of the J) now called the J2

Like the story and fluff for the twin Jade Falcon designs.

I give you eight more configs all edited into the original post. That's 21 all totaled up. Yes, this is the very definition of overkill.

Luckily for you this is a Smoke Jaguar design and overkill is the name of their game. ;)
