I wanted a mech that could compete with the quirked up 7MPL power of the thunderbolt. I think I found one. It runs 11KPH slower but has more armor, better cooling, and a slightly higher alpha. One major difference is the hardpoint locations on the battlemasters are phenomenal. This mech takes full advantage of that fact. The standard engine means you can lose a torso. This mech is great for getting a very hard hit in followed by using your excellent shield arms. The 20DHS make it so heat is not as big of an issue.
