Here are a few mechs that I could suggest for a beefier body.

@vietmyke So assume Ingram is the squad leader and I was just wondering what his rank is because I was planning to make an older guy as you saw and didn't want to accidentally make Jorgenson outrank his boss

@Jarl Coolgruuf we'll be roughly following the US Navy for Rank structure, MAS pilots will fall into side of junior commissioned officers.

O-4 Lieutenant Commander - Ingram sits here
O-3 1st Lieutenant - longstanding veterans (probably Jorgensen)
O-2 2nd Lieutenant - few-year veterans, particularly talented rookies
O-1 Ensign - Most FNGs, first few years of flying

I'm fully overhauling my mecha now. I have decided I want to be a walking fortress of guns, shields, and armor. My mobility will be shit, but who cares.

@Yam I Am Oh no is Jorgenson gonna be the grandpa friend?


When he joined the 101st, Jorgenson thought that being in the HTR team meant "High Threat Response" team.

Turns out, he was joining Hot Topic Representative team.

If you need more ideas, here's a few I dug up from the melted bits of my brain before I have to go peddle drugs at the pharmacy:


  • Overcharger Blade - Are hand-to-hand MAS's ruining your day? Do you need to fry every last bit of electronic wiring in something? It's easy; Just run a giant taser field around the blade of a sword, and as you're getting a good cut into something, activate the sucker and watch the sparks fly!
  • Automatic Grenade Launcher - Might not be the greatest at handling the tougher armored opponents, but at least grenades are plentiful and can be outfitted with a lot of different payloads; An HE grenade might not do shit to a MAS suit, but everyone will be kissing your ass and singing to Baby Jesus that you bought Smokes you can pepper around the battlefield.
  • Tether Pistol - Here's a fun one: What happens if you combine an electromagnetically-propelled harpoon inside a MAS pistol frame, and wired the cable directly to the suit? Everybody loves a good game of tug-of-war, and if you can land a solid tether on an opponent, well shit, a mecha can't move if their legs are constantly tripping over fifteen tons of tensile strength! Oh, and you could use it to like, ford rivers and shit too, I guess.

@Arkitekt I'm having trouble keeping up with everyone's ideas lol. Was your character a part of the military? Or a private contractor? If she's a contractor she probably wouldn't have a rank

@Dog Took a quick lookover of the new mech you wrote up, and while I do like where you're going for it- I think you might've gone a bit too full hog on the chonk. The whole walking fortress sits more on the 'Super-Heavy MAS' end of the spectrum than it does 'Heavy'.

You can and should definitely go for a thicc boi build, but I think a 40k Titan would be a bit too much on the chonk side.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner, there's a lot of people and a lot of concepts going around, and I'm finishing up some assignments for class, so I didn't see it.

Engineer reporting.

Not a real engineer, but it's the type of character I like to play in these things.

@Dog Here's some bois I would consider thicc. Some are a bit on the lighter side



In a sort of 'gamey' sense, Heavies would be the RPG equivalent of the Tank classes, but mechs in this world are lethal enough that even Heavies will still need to be able to dodge some incoming fire

Kool stuff, but I'm more of a fan of western mecha than eastern for my tastes. Don't mind if I use BattleTech for images?

@Dog Yeah! Battletech stuff works too! You're looking for stuff that would fall into the range of 'heavy' battlemechs in that case, stuff like the Thunderbolt or Marauder would fit the bill pretty well

Would Imperial Knights work as well? From 40k.
