I used to really hate the design of this ‘mech. Much like the Nova, this is one of those machines that took the longest for battletech brainworm to convince me looked cool instead of gangly and stupid. Now though? I really really like it.

Something about the fuselage and legs puts me in mind of a theropod dinosaur (which is true for plenty of ‘mechs, shout-out the Stalker) , and honestly the long-nose type ‘mechs are becoming some of my favourites. I got the box this guy came in so that the Turkina could be used with my Lancer AU project, but this dude and the Huntsman were a huge bonus. They’re gonna look so good once I get some shark jaw decals.

During the Clan Invasion, one planet tried challenging the invaders to a game of American football for the Trial of Possession for their world under the idea that maybe the Clans didn't know how to play. Unfortunately for them, the unit that was invading their planet was an Elemental-heavy cluster from Clan Ghost Bear, where football was a popular pass time for Elementals. The defenders noted that while they were utterly crushed it was still the cleanest game they'd ever played because the Clanners considered it a mark of shame if they got a personal foul.
