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", on one of them is the Lava Gun. Standard color for this 'Mech is Black. It is known for its Lava Gun, which is extremely powerful because it can simutaneously launch up to three shots at once and its LosTech energy shield made the 'Mech nigh-invulnerable to all forms of damage - for a few seconds. The mech is known to be extremely powerful and is known to be able to defeat most 'Mechs with ease, even Assault 'Mechs. However, what the Ragnarok enjoys in firepower and shielding lacks appalingly in speed - and the slow recharge rate of the shields don't help matters either.

Armament

As mentioned above, the Ragnaqrok 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: basically, the same as the Ragnarok, save that it changes the Javelin LRMs to Hammer heavy missiles and its Gauss rifles to PPCs.
