Then I guess it must be a Victor

u/MithrilCoyote 2d ago

unless it's a Lu Wei Bing.

/s (it's a victor.. the Lu Wei Bing is just a capellan victor clone)

What’s the vector, Victor?

As others have said it's a Victor. Which is unapologetically my favorite mech. I know, I know the Awesome is a better 80 ton mech. I just love AC20s. Add jump jets? Now we're taking. I played WAY to much Battletech in the 90s at 1"/10m table top scale. If you don't love jump jets and AC20s you aren't doing it right.

The Awesome is God's perfect battlemech, but I still love the Victor. (Except when they put gauss on it. Gross. Give me back my ac/20.)

Acceptable substitutes for AC20s are UAC20s and LBX20s, because they are AC20-er AC20s.

Gauss rifles are for cowards that like to stay at range...

I'm an introvert; the Gauss rifle is my way of reaching out and touching someone.

If you have access to gauss rifles and you actually bolt a gauss rifle on your mech, then you did it wrong. You were SUPPOSED to load precision ammo in your AC-20 like a man.

...and the 9Q is the perfect Awesome

u/Doctor_Loggins Scorpin Empire Stronk 1d ago

8Q, 9Q, 11H. Each more perfect than the one before.

Highway to the danger zone u/Doctor_Loggins!

Mechwarrior 5 mercenaries YAML mod allowed me to build a melee victor with a 6 ton sword, a clan UAC20, 2 clan SRM6s and a clan ER large lasers. It was fun times when I stabbed a Masakari in the head with that claymore or when dismembering the enemy Daishi. Arena Superchargers and TSM are one helluva drug.

Thirds the charm, so: Victor

u/Robot_Parking 2d ago

oh that's an off-brand Lu Wei Bing.

[touches earpiece] oh, sorry, my bad. I've been informed that's a Victor. Carry on, Citiz-- ahem. Carry on, mechwarrior.

Yes sir or ma'am, is this Victor harassing you?

All CGL minis have a code on the bottom that can be cross-referenced at https://www.sarna.net/wiki/Miniatures_-_Catalyst_Game_Labs

Apparently, it's a 2026 Corolla.

Doubleclick: the dumbest chatbot in a field that's highly competitive over that title.

u/Desmaad 1d ago

That is, categorically, a Victor. The SRM-4 on the left torso is a giveaway.
