Talk:Totem BattleMech

I have a major quibble on this one, but want to discuss it before editing it wholesale. Something should only be a totem mech if its description says it's a totem mech. There are several other mechs out there that are related to the concept, (and I dont have any problems listing those that way), but 'Totem Battlemech' has a very specific listing. — The preceding unsigned comment was posted by Istal devalis (talk • contribs) on 18 March 2010.

I agree. Though its clearly stated, that this is a clan-concept, I accept Inner Sphere totem-LIKE mechs, but even the draco's mechs are not really totem in the sense of the word. I'd rather go for "signature mech", though that would pose other questions, like: Is the Zeus a SigMech for the lyrans and so on....RagTag 11:19, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm with RagTag; "totem 'Mech" has a very specific meaning with regard to Clan totems. That said, I think this "article" is better served as a category. --Scaletail 02:49, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, it's got enough of a meaning in Battletech that it bears some mention, but a category wouldnt be a bad idea. You'd want to be very specific in mentioning what is allowed in that, though, otherwise we're just going to end up with a list like this one. --Istal devalis 14:38, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
