More variants of the older Typhon. The speed gets invariably dropped in order to mount more equipment - but that's not to say that they don't remain quick and effective platforms. The first is a straight-up combat model.

SRM-4 Ammo (12)    Torso       -         -        480 kg

The second is...interesting, to say the least. It packs one hell of a punch, and works equally well against 'Mechs, vehicles or infantry. Fun fact: Arrays, when used on Protos, can link Machine Guns found throughout the entire chassis regardless of their location. The Recon Camera is there to give it some ranged utility, and I think it'd mesh pretty well with a Glider. If that's not your cup of tea, replace it with a Light TAG.

My final Proto for now, the Amarok is exactly what its name would suggest: a solitary hunter. Each is built to destroy targets either through pure damage output or through an overwhelming number of crits. The first deals with hardened targets. The second, a generalist. The third, an infantry and battle armor hunter.

OK, Orc variants. Its biggest flaws were its low ammo endurance and armor. We can do something about one of those, but not with the other. First option is to go the "obvious" route. Slower, but works well for striking attack and more sustained actions against slower vehicles and battle armor.

The second option is to drop an SRM rack. Vastly increased speed gives it a niche even in the era of the Procyon-Q, while it still maintains decent toughness and ammo endurance.

The third option would be to do something that the Procyon-Q can't, and jump. Basically drops that SRM tube for the JJs and a bit more ammo.

I don't want to ditch the SRMs because of the Orc's Inferno shtick. Going the Vehicular Flamer, Plasma Cannon or Fusillade route are completely out of the question because of their weigh demands, so...SRMs it is.

The Recon Camera is there to give it some ranged utility, and I think it'd mesh pretty well with a Glider. If that's not your cup of tea, replace it with a Light TAG.

The Recon Camera has a maximum range of 18 kilometers and can only be used on the Low Altitude map or ground map. Fliers equipped with a Recon Camera may act as a spotter for LRM Indirect Fire as if it were a TAG. Hidden units that are passed over by a Recon Camera-equipped flier must reveal themselves on an unsuccessful 2d6 roll. TO p.337

Yep, exactly what I was going for! Not so useful for a normal ProtoMech, but with a Glider that can hover in place and then fly over the battlefield at altitude 8 or something? Handy.

They would make a great Recon Point working conjunction with Donar and the Asshur.

I really like what you did with those Orcs (the glider Protos too, but sadly I can't use them in MegaMek yet). Any chance you could attach the .blks for the non-gliders?

Greekfire all these are good designs that really get my mind thinking that Protos should be used more.  Thanks for sharing.

No problem, man!
Avatar is the Siren ProtoMech, as redesigned by Iglesias. Just did a bit of coloring to make it fit with Cloud Cobra's Beta Galaxy. You can see the set here:

Seeing the old vs revision versions really makes me wonder want what some of those artists were thinking.  Well a lot of the old art makes me ask want they were thinking.  Thank you for the picture.

ProtoMechs are, oddly enough, the thing I miss most playing Spheroid.  These just make me more of a sad panda.

Of course, I'm lunatic enough to like the Erinyes, so there's that.  Think I've been inspired to fire up Megamek Lab when I get home.

Edit: Whiiiich won't work since MegaMek Lab doesn't support Protos?

Don't worry, I've got you covered. :D

Back on topic, tho, these are all terrific designs! I particularly like the redesigned art, makes the Protos fit with the rest of BattleTech far more smoothly. Also that one Proto that uses Handheld weaponry, I hadn't realized that was an option for Protos.

Handheld weaponry is near-impossible to use well on ProtoMechs, but I fee like that design does a decent enough job.

You know, I actually kind of like the older art for the Protomechs. Mainly because I felt that, as a way for making up for their deficiencies, they were designed to look fearsome. Those redesigns above just look like scaled up, rather generic BA, and I don't really find that intimidating. On the other hand, if I saw a Chrysaor or a Centaur charging me down, looking like they did in the old art? My pants would turn brown and I'd GTFO like hell is coming for me personally.

I was actually thinking of creating a redesign for the Hobgoblin that would A) bring it's appearance more inline with other protomechs and B) make it a little endurant in protracted combat.

'ere Greek Fire, any chance of the Ravens getting a 15 tonne glider or jumper (your preference) design?  Something to support their Hippogriff design and act more as a generalist than the dedicated harasser that is the Griff.

Can you make Gliders that are 2-9 tons, or is that possible only for Ultralights? I think a Hippogriff Glider would be great. You could even make a semi-useful Erinyes if it was possible to give them the Glider motive system.

Yep, exactly what I was going for! Not so useful for a normal ProtoMech, but with a Glider that can hover in place and then fly over the battlefield at altitude 8 or something? Handy.

You are mixing up elevations and altitudes. They are not the same, 8 altitudes are much higher then 8 elevations. The ceiling for a glider Proto is 12 elevations, I am not sure if it can be counted even as 2 altitudes. Does anybody know the official altitude-elevation conversion estimate?

Off the top of my head, you can switch to either NoE or 1 altitude, at elevation 10.

Per pg 100 of IO (and somewhere in WoR), Glider ProtoMechs can only be constructed from biped Ultraheavy (10-15 tons) ProtoMechs.

I was going to suggest making an EDP Erinyes, but I see you've already beat me to it. Personally, I'd ditch the MG, give it a Protomech Myomer Booster and up the armor.

Another idea is to strip everything out and give it Light TAG

It struck me that I've never done a WiGE/Melee ProtoMech.
Ideally, they'll charge straight into physical range with a 'Mech and raise up to elevation 2, at which point all of their physical attacks roll using the punch table.
The two Flamers are there to give it a secondary purpose as an incendiary platform while keeping BV low.
