The Ragnarok Assault-class 'Mech is the ultimate 'Mech in the MechAssault series, named after the Norse Armageddon.
Overview
The Ragnarok is an Assault 'Mech that was developed and used the Word Of Blake. Little to nothing is known about the 'Mech's development. What is known, however, is that the Word of Blake produced this 'Mech in the hundreds, maybe thousands, but most were destroyed when a JumpShip crashed into the production facility, making the Ragnarok a rare sight in the battlefield.
Description
The Ragnarok is a very large Assault-class BattleMech. The mech is tall with broad "shoulders" and a very humanoid shape. It is notable for its "Lava Gun" mounted on its shoulder, a powerful weapon launching three-shot volleys of an unknown superheated material, and its LosTech energy 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, even Assault 'Mechs. However, what the Ragnarok enjoys in firepower and shielding lacks appallingly in speed - and the slow recharge rate of the shields don't help matters either.
Armament
As mentioned above, the Ragnarok is extremely deadly at all ranges, but is more effective at medium to long range. Its LosTech shields also give it very good defensive properties.
Variants
- Ymir: Functionally identical to the Ragnarok, the only changes are in its armament: The Javelin LRMs are replaced with Hammer heavy missiles and its Gauss rifles are replaced with PPCs. It retains its Lava Gun.
