Random question but since blue base mechs were mentioned, anything special about a "Solitude" Atlas with a blue base?
Solitude and pilot Exarch Johah Levin were the limited edition MW offering at several conventions attended by WK, in 2006 I think. Tell me if my memory is faulty folks, but I think we were
"allowed" to buy it if we purchased a certain amount of merchandise at the WK retail and demo area. I think we were allowed two per person and it was heavily sought after by the ROTS players as well as by collectors and fans of the fiction. Unlike other artificially scarce convention LEs, at least we didn't have to enter a lottery to
be graced with the privilege to buy it like Dark Phoenix and Galactus, but I did stand in line for an hour or so to get mine. It saw pretty significant circulation as it was offered near the height of MW games popularity. Later it became a common LE sold on shmebay.
As for it's value as a playable unit, it is a superior unit when used with Exarch Jonah Levin due to the high defense, Command and potential 14 attack, plus the ability to ignore damage from a crit miss.
