Well, heres a few of those classic heavies
We have the Orion ON1-M, with a pair of medium lasers, an LB-10X, Lrm20, srm4, a narcs.All this ammo protected by CASE.With a maxium speed of 65 KPH.
A BT classic, the Marauder MAD-3L sports a pair of medium laser, a large laser, an AC 5, anda PPC.Same speed as the Orion.Less armor than the Orion.
Another classic, the BlackKnight hasa devastating array of 3 medium lasers,a pair of large lasers,a PPC and a small laser.More armor than the Marauder and less than the Orion.Same speed.

I fully agree with ralgith. The Marauder is BT. Though the variant you chose is just about the most unusual one.

Marauder all the way. In Mechwarrior, I had 5 loves: Shadow Hawk, Warhammer, Marauder, Battlemaster, and yes: the little Jenner.

I voted Marauder, despite the crap which is the Liao variant. The 3L is one of the reasons they call it the limp sword flag. But the Marauder concept is simply superb, and the Marauder is one of the best looking 'Mechs around.
Of course, the Orion will probably squish the MAD-3L, especially since the 1M uses 3050 tech.

No need to get all cocky whelp 
And when you do these match-up polls, you need to match Tech Levels too.
Only reason the Orion is better is because it's a 3050 (Level 2) tech design and the others are 3025 (Level 1) tech. That makes for a very unfair matchup 1-to-1. However, the MAD-5D, MAD-5M or MAD-5S Marauder's will wipe the floor with the Orion; and they are all of equal tech level.

Let's just assume that we're comparing designs of equal tech, shall we? The Orion is the 3025 model, or the Marauder and Black Knight are 3050. Sheesh.

Errm... actually it looks like only the Orion is a 3050 model... I can't tell if the black knight is the 2750 model or the 3025 model..

ON1-K is the stuff for legends being the lvl1 mech that is piloted by General Kerensky.

I'd do just that... EXCEPT he specified the the designs in his POST and the Black Knight and Marauder are the 3025 versions while the Orion is a 3050. Thats why it was brought up in the first place.

I'm partial to the Orion because of my faction.
But this poll is broken as was said.

The looks of mechs like the Marauder, Rifleman, and Warhammer are what got me interested in BT.
