Regulator Battle Armor

[Cowdragon]

I just wanted a basic, all-purpose Battle Armor to throw onto a battlefield. Very few frills. However, the idea of a giant suit of mechanical armor popping out from behind cover and spreading its wings to scare the bajeebus out of any infantry in the area appeals to me greatly... so it has wings.

The Plasma Rifle is multi-purpose. Takes care of hard and soft targets. Claw for riding mechs around and ripping things apart. Cutting torch for opening things up. AP Weapon Mount to conserve Plasma Ammo when they need to.

IIRC partial wings are only for light BA... You might want to check that.

Did NOT know that. Oops!

They don't HAVE to be on there. They're more for looks and entirely inefficient on this design anyway.

I'm not sure if they're legal for medium BA, but I'm 99% sure they're not for heavy which this seems to be...

It is. I haven't figured out how to make the posts from MegaMekLab look much better, so I'll just tell ya what I did to fix it.

I removed the Wings. Upped the Jumping to 2. Then added another point of armor and a micro grenade launcher. Comes to 1.5 for the weight, which is perfect. Nothing flashy anymore, and since that was my original plan (until I got side tracked by the idea of scary wings) that ends up better :)
