That's a really fuckin ugly mech. And it's slow for a medium.

Considering its base material, it actually looks a lot better. It's not ugly. 86 isn't too slow either, after you elite it it'll run at 94 (95 if they round up).

Cant see any pictures due to reasons, can someone parse them?

Is it an omni or a battle?

Trying to figure this out. Basically a stormcrow with locked jump jets?

^ Omni and I'm sorry but just imagine a really boring looking mech and you'll be 99% there.

Huh. Omni-huntsman actually looks decent. Maybe not money decent, but it looks kinda like a clan trebuchet/centurion/hunch. 250 engine in a 50 ton isn't that great, but that is the usual choice in those robots: 275, or 250 and more stuff.

Ballparking from the huntsman 1, thats about 21 tons of weapon space.

Ballistic arms, missile torsos, double-ams-both-with-actual-stuff slots. Its everything nice about the mediums I enjoy playing rolled up into one thing with clan endo/ferro.

I think I'm going to have fun with this one when it comes out for cbills. That triangle torso could have so much go wrong or right with hitboxes though, dayumn.

Bonus looking at the spec sheet: each leg has only one jumpjet. It has room for leg ammo. Looks like 5 critspaces in the lt and 6 in the rt.

That hero is going to put the splatcrow and the archer to shame. Yeah, I'll take 8 srm6's.

I'll be honest. The first thing I look for in any mech is "can I fit ECM? yes/no". This was obviously a clear pass on that grade.

But otherwise... I can't see any downsides. Tons of very nice pod options on a decent platform and enough spare tonnage to actually have real choices.

Could be legit decent but I'm rusty and not to be trusted.

The ONE Thing I forgot to mention that I saw after posting: the armor is abysmally low. 169 armor is like, a third to a half of a max armor stormcrow. So you're going to lose some tonnage bringing that up to acceptable standards. After some quick smurphying, i want to say in the ballpark of 4 or 5 tons?

Part of the sizedown is that the legs are much more hunched up, it doesn't stand as tall because of the posture.

Also, Butterbee pretty much just straight up invalidates the C1 and C4 variants. Two more missile hardpoints than the C1, two more energy than the C4.

Yeah, it's a flat out better robit than either of those, and with the size reduction, might be an overall Good Robot.

Ghost Heat now replaced with Ghost Damage. No `Mech can take more than 20 damage in a 10 second period, from any source.

While spoken in jest, it might well be that way with different numbers.
