Hey, Gang.
I was browsing the Classic Battletech Website (cuz I'm an old fart and I've been playing this game since it was nothing but dice and hex maps and the clans weren't even a glimmer in Stackpole's eye) and ran across a design I don’t recall seeing before. It looks pretty fierce, but as we all know, looks don't make a well
functioning mech. You can see it here:

Can anyone help me ID this thing? It’s the 3067 cover art, big nasty mech bristling with lasers and FedSuns insignia, standing over the decapitated semi-submerged head of an Atlas, as aerospace fighters fly overhead (wish someone had a way to bring those into MW4!).
Sorry for not inserting a link, but being an old fart AND a newbie to this board means I know nothing about how to do that.

PS After posting I saw your board had turned my text into a link! Now THAT is progress! "Scientific progress goes boink!"

Sagittaire.

Man that was FAST!
THANKS!
Uh, the link didn't work though, got a server error message. I'll try it again later.

Sagittaire -95 ton jump-capable assault mech.

Armed with an ERPPC and a large variety of large, medium, and small pulse lasers, backed up by a Targeting Computer, this mech was first introduced in the FedCom Civil War by both sides to devestating effect.

Thanks Sandman...is this beastie available in MW4? Actually, I’m sure I can use the same weapons loadout, but I was referring more to the actual chassis.

I'm pretty sure it's not. But then I haven't been keeping on top of Mektek releases lately.

Nope, no Sagittaire in MW4.

Blast it! Oh well, I still have lots of 'Mechs to choose from. I'm sure I'll pick my first favorite soon.

you can basically make one out of a Gladiator if you wanted to

Although it would be rather warm, to say the least. And probably not nearly as effective.

Hrrrmmm
I have heard a lot about Gladiators (haven't given one a spin yet) and when I started tinkering with one in the Mechlab I was somewhat underwhelmed. WHat's supposed to be so great about them? Are they just hard to kill, or is there more?

The Gladiator is a lot of poptarts ride of choice. You can put a lot of energy weapons on it and with the jump jets you can just sit back and snipe.

Got it! Thanks again!
