The 6M is mentioned in TRO3050U but lacks a record sheet along with a few other units from the book (the main one that comes to mind is the original Trebuchet).

Hopefully we'll see it when we finally get RS: 3050Uu.  I always love some more Stalker goodness.

I guess if you take the Cerberus' body and hunch it forward instead of upright... maybe... kinda? Not really, but... I'm stretching here, work with me. ;)

To add in here, PPC version? Damned good Mech if you use it right. Standard? If any twin-gauss assault can be called a lemon, we've found it.
Survey says... yep, worst twin-gauss out there.

Eh, I'd take the V2 over the Jagermech any day.  Better backup weapons, better armor, two big battlefists if the action gets intimate.

In my mind, I view the Cerberus as a Direst Fire Support rather than a "Assault" per say. Use it like that, its pretty good in a fight. The Pulses are just there for the flankers..
