Sorry, I had to post it here. When people started talking about Boar's Head, I didn't know what they meant, or why were we talking about a cold cut provider... It took me a little bit of reading and searching to figure it out, but the thought stuck... From now on, in my mind, Boar's Head is a Deli Atlas. Has anyone seen a backstory to this one yet? There wasn't one for Firebrand or Golden Boy either, right? Personal opinion, but those were the best parts of the hero mechs, in that, there was a reason why they were built the way they were. Even Sarah's Jenner gets a special distinction in this respect. for those who don't know, see the link below. http://boarshead.com/
Close it actually comes from the old 3025 TRO. users.anet.com/~cplkagan/equipment/spheretech/mechs/3025/bm-atlas.html Notable 'Mechs & MechWarriors: MechWarrior Rodney Van Kleven A member of the elite 6th Syrtis Fusiliers, Rodney Van Kleven is an aristocrat with the instincts of a democrat. Extremely personable, he is well liked by everyone from fellow MechWarriors to the lowliest ship's cook. On the battlefield, Van Kleven uses his Atlas, which he calls the Boar's Head, like a 100-ton scout. He stomps all over the field, creating general terror in the enemy lines and almost always overheating his 'Mech. He has won several land grants, but quickly loses the titles when his 'Mech overheats and shuts down on the battlefield.
Lol, sounds like a day 1 noob in MWO... Runs out into the front line, 'scouting', overheats, and gets shit on. That's basically every noob in the game.
