That's a lotta MGs. But at least maybe a Small Laser for some defence when the ammo runs dry.

I started out in Battle Tech when it was new, just after it had failed as "Battle Droids". I remember when City Tech and Aero Tech first came out. I was in the US Army then and I introduced the game to several other soldiers and some of my civilian friends. Many of them thought Mecha were the gods of the battlefields and there were few places that carried miniatures for the games near our post. There was a Toy Liquidators store, however, and they were selling off a bunch of toys called Mega Force. These were die-cast vehicles about the same size as Battletech miniatures that came three or four to a pack along with a plastic building. They had tanks, self-propelled anti-aircraft vehicles, helicopters, vtols, and jets for two sides and came pre-painted. They were cheap and looked great. I bought quite a few (I wish I had bought more) and still have some today. Once I had my planes, vtols, and tanks, I started using combined forces tactics and quickly became a force to be reckoned with. It quickly became evident that a force made up of mecha alone cannot stand up against a unit with air superiority and that the use of combined arms tactics can quickly turn the tide of battle in any urban combat scenario. Looking at your artwork brings back fond memories of battles fought in the barracks, living rooms, and on the outdoors gaming tables with my friends prior to Desert Shield.

Now this one looks really mean and aggressive.
One of the rare VTOL's that look like made for combat.
