Anyone know what THIS Battle Armor is?

[Black_Knyght]

I recently stumbled across this cool image of a Battle Armor suit I'm sure is Battletech related, even though the site I found it on clearly wasn't (just a sci-fi portal for game related links).

I don't recognize what this Battle Armor's name is, who makes it, or it's capabilities, and was wondering if anyone around here might know?

That, sir, is the Clan Standard BA - originating in the MW:DA game, it was back-fitted into the BT universe. The Sarna page has all the dirty:

I'm quite fond of the "Rache" variant, and anyone who collected the DA figures can usually field a Galaxy or three of them ;)

That's the Clan Battle Armor from MechWarrior: Dark Age.

Here's the link to Sarnas entry for it  http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Clan_Battle_Armor


EDIT: I really need to refresh the tabs before I post an answer.  ::)

I thought the Elemental armor was the Clan standard armor? Is this another DA revision or retconning?

Did you click on the link Worktroll provided?  It explains everything in there.  Long story short its a Battlearmor built in the Inner Sphere by the Nova Cats based on the Elemental Battlearmor.  Another nickname for it is "Rabid" to distinguish it from "Elemental".

The Elemental has always been the standard battle armor fielded by the clans, but it's name was "Elemental". This battle armor's name is "Clan Standard."

I did check out the link after asking the question, and found out what I needed to know.

With all the MW : DA retcons, reimaginings, and what not, I wasn't sure if a Dark Ages "Clan Standard Battle Armor" wasn't just some reworking of Elementals or not.

Looks very cool, though I was disappointed that that terrific arm weapon is just a flamer.
