Machinae
Overview:
Sometimes mech design requires something radical, as with Imperius Rex's
"Compeller" Omni, which used a mix-tech base and a fixed MRM40. Next in
a new line of Omni's was the Machinae, a IS base chassis designed to be sold
to major powers, such as House Marik and House Davion. With a wide variety
of variants and some quite strange varaints, Imperius definitely outdid themselves
on the "What-the-hell-were-you-thinking???" factor. Visually similiar to an Atlas,
though standing at about 20 rather than about 18 meters, and more gaunt as a result,
the Machinae features an interesting "waist turret."
(In-Game Effect):Any CT mounted weapons can engage a secondary target without the
to-hit modifer, and gain a +1 to rolls when attacking infantry, also when engaging targets
over 50 tons, the mech receives a +1 to rolls with these CT mounted weapond when the
other unit is within 9 hexes.

Loadout Name: Supremacy Cost: 33,438,750
Tech Rating/Era Availability: E/X-X-X-A BV2: 2,558
Overview:
Packing some of the newest and most powerful weapon systems in the Sphere, the
Supremacy variant was aimed at House Steiner and House Davion, the R-e Lasers
appealing to their fight against new Kuritan designs using massive amounts of Hardened
armor, and the iHGR being the wonderful descendant of the original "Thor's Hammer."
For fighting infantry, an SRM2 is provided with a bin of inferno munitions, though typically
this bin is traded ASAP for Frag rounds, which are notably less devastating if the bin is
struck by enemy fire. A Bloodhound Probe allows hostiles with stealth and ECM systems
to be located easier, appealing to the scattered former Marik states and House Davion, who
are often fighting skirmishes with Capellan units.

Overview:
Twin Silver Bullet Gauss Rifles scream "CRIT-SEEKER", while a powerful new Enhanced
ERPPC provides a lethal 12 damage punch, and is one of the new steps towards matching
Clan firepower. An ER Small Laser provides token short range damage, and a Targeting
CPU allows the machine to lay down accurate PPC fire.

Loadout Name: Big Brotha Cost: 32,321,875

Overview:
Another fire-support mech, the "Big Brotha" has a terrible habit of
"Rocking the Boat" as it spits out thousands of casings from the autocannons.
A Gauss Rifle provides a solid ranged punch, and the mixed lasers are more
for warding off light mechs and infantry than anything else.
