If you could build only one omnimech ...

[FedSunsBorn]

Well i put Templar for obvious patriotic reasons, that and it's very effective.  Though i also admit i am fond of the Avatar also.

If one could though, personally i'd love to have the Thanatos in it's intended Omni version.  I know, i'm eccentric.

Heck yeah! That and the Argus Omni would really make my day.

[Rorke]

Yeah admit i almost said that too.

[Moonsword]

I'd prefer to see a Thanatos.  The basic chassis had some potential to it and, removing the freezer outside the engine, 21.5 tons of pod space isn't bad for the speed, 26.5 if you don't use fixed jets.

Who knows maybe one day we will and the Thantos.

XTRO:  Mechs We Mentioned Elsewhere but never got around to making, due to writer's party induced amnesia.  Seriously, we write these TROs at parties.  Any inconsistencies are there because of that.  I'd like to see you write a TRO while doing shots off a Timber Wolf.  That's right, we have the actual Mechs at the parties.  No, you can't have one because you're not one of the writers.

Better known as XTRO:  Look, Over There, a Distraction!

Well I think a large part of the issue is they feel no real need to go back to those designs. The Argus and the Thanatos both come from one of the less-well-regarded TROs, from a volatile time in CBTs history. I like a great many of the 3067 designs, but it's hard to argue that any of them are considered "classic" or even overly popular designs. Unfortunately, like so unfortunately many of the post-3050 designs, the Argus and Thanatos are getting no love.

[Moonsword]

We know that Catalyst is Up To Something regarding TRO3067 and probably looking to get the sheets back out.  It's entirely possible we'll see some love given to these designs in a sort of RS3067 Unabridged once they get around to it.

[IndyRI]

Now if only we could get some clean, refined artwork to go with the excellent visual design for some of those mechs.

[Cyc]

Given Unabridged versions are already covering really out their variants, including the Omni Arctic Wolf the ComStar Battle Cobra I pay tribute to on the left, its pretty much a given we'll get Omnified Argus and Thanatos

[Taurevanime]

Even if only to showcase what the original omni proposed designs were like and they never get used in canon in the universe.

In my opinion a great deal of the 3067 designs are unfairly pilloried.  Ok there are a few howlers there, but by and large many of those mechs are fine units.  Both models of the Argus have served me well on many occasions.  The second Argus in fact being a favourite for filling a gap, that of a heavy missile boat in modern AFFS rosters.  That's a heavy indigenously produced one, as opposed to some Archer or another by dubious means.  I'm funny like that, i prefer to use units i can actually justify.   

The Thanatos Omni in all honesty might have been the most useful of all for mobile heavy units.  One can imagine what the FSACR would have made of a few of those in their ranks.

[IndyRI]

^Well the art was a big turn off for a lot of people. While the visual design on many of the mechs was very good, the actual quality of the lines and such was terrible. Real grade school stuff. I think that certainly did a lot to hurt the book's reputation. It also suffered from being the FanPro TRO, which was largely a bad time for CBT as a whole.

[Ian Sharpe]

Late to the party, but Blackhawk KU.  Its the speed I like and with newer weapons like the HPPC, I can mount heavy firepower and backup mediums with no problem. 

[Demos]

Voted for Avatar as a decent Mech with enough pod space and tonnage.

The Hauptmann would be a close second, but IMHO the number of assault s is more limited in the Universe.
I woudl use the Avatar as standard; conventional assault mechs could be used as command mechs or hammer for large-scale assaults.

Can I steal a Clan OmniMech instead, even a bad one? ;)

Sure but you can only use IS weaponry and you have to stick to Zell in every battle. Your opponent does not. have fun!
