==Description==
 
==Description==
The ''Ragnarok'' is a very large assault BattleMech. The 'Mech is tall with broad "shoulders" and a very humanoid shape. It is notable for its unique "Lava Gun", which is mounted on its shoulder; this unusual weapon launches three-shot volleys of an unknown superheated material. Its [[LosTech Shield]], when activated, makes the 'Mech nigh invulnerable to all forms of damage for a few seconds at a time. The 'Mech is known to be extremely powerful and has been shown to be able to make quick work of most 'Mechs with ease. However, what the ''Ragnarok'' enjoys in firepower and shielding lacks appallingly in speed - and the slow recharge rate of the shields doesn't help either.

*'''Ymir''': Functionally identical to the ''Ragnarok'', the only changes are in its armament: The [[Javelin LRM]]s are replaced with 4x [[Autocannon]]s and its [[Gauss rifle]]s are replaced with [[PPC]]s. It retains its "Lava Gun".

In an unusual move that goes against the usual [[BattleTech]] universe standards 'Mech speeds are expressed in mph rather than km/h, as such the speed figure has been converted to km/h for this article.
