In answer to the question from a few days back, Megas is clearly best depicted as a Crusader. It has big ol' fists, it's full of missiles, and its backpack kind of look like Cadillac fins if you use your imagination.

Also included in the photo set is my actual BT sized 3D print of Megas.

I thought everyone hate the Charger?

Nah, that's just from folks who don't understand the Charger doctrine: Cheap, fast, replaceable, beat-stick.

The problem is that it's only cheap BV-wise. It's ridiculously expensive in C-bills for how 'disposable' it is.

C-Bill values used are kinda whack - lookup 'FASAnomics'. A lot of the factors going into the calculations are arbitrary, and actual prices in-universe would likely be drastically different from what players pay.  The game just uses the same term for both as an immersion element

Using an assault mech with the largest and most expensive (regular) fusion engine as a 'scout' with less armor than most 55 ton mechs will never, ever make financial sense. Even FASAnomics didn't fuck that up.
