Best Tech Readout for WOB?

What is the best Technical Readout to have that features the Word of Blake Mechs?

I'm thinking TRO 3060, '67, and '75.

Exclusive to Blakist 'Mechs?

Technical Readout: 3067, which has Red Shift, Gurkha, Blue Flame, Lightray, White Flame, Legacy and Vanquisher.
TRO: 3075 deserves a mention as it lists the five Celestial OmniMechs though.

Non-exclusive but heavily Blakist used, 3050 Upgrade for the SLDF 'Mechs that the Com Guard and other factions also use or Project Phoenix for upgrade classics the Blakists basically designed the bulk of.

And the Blakist's ASFs and BAs.

3085 has some more Blake 'Mechs and tanks. Some of which never saw production by the hand of the WoB but were taken over by the RotS before they were in a production state. WoB infantry is in 3085, too.

 There are six celestial chassis. along whit six BA models and three ASF models.
 I agreed, 3060-67 and 3075 are the best sources. 3085 shows little to nothing for WoB forces.

3085 has the only Serpentus class tank we have seen so far- the Bolla- in it.
There are also designs that are now used by other factions  like the Palmoni (Trajan) or the Eidolon (Yao Lien) and also the manned versions of some Caspar II drones. And WoB infantry. So there is plenty to find.

3075 has the celestials and much of the really fearsome BA.

Best: TRO 3075 (Blake's elite & exclusive designs)
Runner Up: TRO 3050U (The standard vehicles, mechs and aerospace fighters that make up majority of WoB military forces)
Third: TRO 3067 (More WoB exclusives)

there's also the Project Phoenix WoB designs in 3085.

I think we can dispel the in-universe rumor of the Bolla being the flagship of a series of OmniVehicles by now. I think the Manei Domini were influenced far more by the Clans than they'd be willing to admit; single-pilot machines ('Mechs, fighters, and battle armor) were clearly venerated above combat vehicles and even spacecraft. I don't think the MD had a single WarShip devoted to them, despite the Word's (comparative) glut of the class.

I always thought that was a shame that more large space craft (Drop or War) weren't used by the MD. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but didn't VDNI let one MD pilot a DropShip?

Couldn't agree more- in fact, the Bolla surprised and confused me more than anything else for that very reason.

Which is a shame, really. My hope is that we'll see one or two more "Serpentus" vehicles in Final Reckoning.
