Description
Weight - 100 tonnesWeapons - 'Long Tom' artillery cannon, 4 x Medium pulse lasers
Capacity for 10 Elemental Battlesuits.
Whilst the Aition is a real vehicle in Battletech I disliked how it looked, it didn't look like a tank but like something made by JCB or CAT, and like it belonged on a worksite, not a battlefield.Β So I wondered if Plog could re-do it and boy did he!

The weirdest thing about the canon Aithion was that little railing on the upper portion of the vehicle.Β Like it was supposed to be a place to set up picnic tables or something.

That was the promenade deck, social gatherings could aslo be held there. Down on B Deck there's also the swimming pool

Unfortunately, due to space requirements the blender and the ice machine had to be cut.

And it's able to hold an entire pallet of Glengarry Reserve.

Battleteach/MechWarrior series has some awesome stuff in it. Im surprised no one attempted make a FPS or Third person shooter yet where you play as elemental or some shock trooper.. They have some awesome stuff in there universe and shame they don't get attention

Aye, its a setting that cries out for more, its Game of Thrones in space basically,, but with mechs instead of dragons.Β But the licensing behind it is a HUGE mess and I doubt studios would want to get their hands involved in a potentially very expensive investtment.

Also wished someone bought franchise from original owner, did reboot, and did better job than original owners. Love how deviant art artist how redesigned Andy modernized some of the stuff from battletech universe and makes me wish the franchise would been more popular and in hands of the right people.

I heard company got in trouble from other companies, that just stupid an swish it never happen. I always thought battletech and mechwarrior had potential be as big as some other sci-fi universe if given half the chance. Sadly that never happen

I have to disagree there, MOST of them looked weird, but others looked fine.Β The initial group of Clan vehicles were...quirky (unless they were the hovercraft then they were fine) and later ones improved on the designs.Β But the Authion was utterly rancid and NEEDED to be redone.

I can swear to that... that's one ugly book piece, but its also super typical of the "mass unit" production designs coming out of CBT right now. And if anyone doubts it? www.sarna.net/wiki/AithonΒ - there is cereal box art that's less square.

To CGLs credit they are releasing updates of the ''new seen'' mechs and they are beautiful. DAs Shimmering Sword did offical art for the mechs ''new'' looks and I've seen pics of the actual miniatures floating around. Great stuff.
