This strongly reminds me of an old project of myself to convert all 3025 Fighters to mechs! Wink

Here we have a slow and heavily (if not fully) armored assault mech.
Its weaponry is geared towards shortrange combat able to inflict heavy damage with its AC and up to 24 SRM´s to find the holes and to sandblast the armor in general!
The PPC is a good weapon to cover its own advance but has too little firepower if the mech can´t close for some reason. If the ammo is depleted the Riever will have problems to target enemies nearby (but at this time it will have delivered insane ammounts of damage!).
It needs its lancemates to cover its advance and retreat but will do well under such circumstances!



Just like many other FWL mechs it is a little overspecialized, but it can still do some harm. It's a bit more a psychological weapon, but as an ambusher or in a city it may work fine (yeah, jump behind me... and eat SRMs ). I tried to make it to work in similar way as the F-100 Riever fighter is depicted in fluff. Rushing forward and blasting anything coming too near. I even tried to keep original armor distribution (that's why the rear armor is stronger than it's usual).

Quite similar (surprisingly ). I decided to put on the PPC to have at least something for ranged fighting and installed fewer heat sinks. Firing SRMs and AC produces a lot of heat, but with so many weapons it's manageable. For a while I was thinking about smaller launchers and JJs, but I'll probably make it later as a variant.

And yes, I saw your MADs (reviews will follow soon ).
