The advanced tech Shrek that doesn't care if it's expensive.
75 tons of armor, firepower and speed, at only the small cost of a lance of heavy mechs.
Aren't you tired of just swarms of heavy tanks? Well upgrade, and reduce your personnel costs today?
Only 55 million Cbills and a latte.

For that price at least 2 Omni Assault Mechs or 3 heavy mechs with XL engines . You are right a good lance of most mechs . Nice exercise of what could be made but  anything more than 16 million has a built in resistance to ever being fielded . This tank is about 3X that . Yes some mechs break the 16 Million mark but they are the exception not the rule . Anyone can make an expensive combat vehicle but who would buy it . The DiMorgan needed special financing terms just to sell them . This just not bring enough to the table for the price

Especially when you can mount exactly the same firepower on a mech for a tenth of the price, with better mobility.
