The answer, suprisingly *is* 42. The order doesn't much matter.

Garm
We hear that there are tumults and riots in Rome, and that voices are raised concerning the army and the quality of our soldiers. Make haste to reassure us that you love and support us as we love and support you, for if we find that we have left our bones to bleach in these sands in vain, then beware the fury of the legions.

One might say that I am "more than a Very Large Array" of weapons, armor and speed.

In the past I revolutionized custody. In our time, I revolutionized logistics and cavalry tactics.

I am good at all ranges, but mean close in. Customizeable... to a degree. Both of my makers wanted more.

In what may be construed as a bad sign, I debut at the sight of my greatest sorrow... with the ex.

My primary variant forgets about balance, and serves up range, range, and a side of range.

A pirate addressing an astronaut? Maybe once he's been cleared. And even if things go round and round, the art doesn't always reflect that.

I am made both on the (home) front, and in the safe interior. If I play in Springfield, that'd be Capital City and Washington....

You start at the very beginning, say the first apartment on the first floor. Add a dozen inside, and you'll start understanding my structure.

My wrappings protect the heavenly bodies... just in, I talk with an accent from home, and my sight comes from my nation, enhanced and loyal.

The answer, suprisingly *is* 42. The order doesn't much matter.

I am of the very large, just one of them. Apparently I slimmed down a bit, because I'm just barely still considered to be one of the big boys.

I have nothing else, guys. Col. Hengist gets the nod for "Titan", but here's the clues:

Clues for ARGUS


One might say that I am "more than a Very Large Array" of weapons, armor and speed. -- A proposed successor to the VLA was the "Argus Array" in space, which was homaged in ST:TNG

In the past I revolutionized custody. In our time, I revolutionized logistics and cavalry tactics. -- "Argus Panopticon", and the Argus was a boon to FedSuns cavalry units

I am good at all ranges, but mean close in. Customizeable... to a degree. Both of my makers wanted more. -- Mix of weapons, but not Omni, though Johnson and Achenar wanted it so.

In what may be construed as a bad sign, I debut at the sight of my greatest sorrow... with the ex. -- Kentares, with the Fifth Donegal.

My primary variant forgets about balance, and serves up range, range, and a side of range. - ER PPC and twin A4 LRM 15s, yeah, range.

A pirate addressing an astronaut? Maybe once he's been cleared. And even if things go round and round, the art doesn't always reflect that. - "Arrrrr, Gus (Grissom)." And the art has a simple tube for the RAC 5.

I am made both on the (home) front, and in the safe interior. If I play in Springfield, that'd be Capital City and Washington.... -- Robinson and New Avalon

You start at the very beginning, say the first apartment on the first floor. Add a dozen inside, and you'll start understanding my structure. - Endo Steel 1A Model 12 or somthing like that.

My wrappings protect the heavenly bodies... just in, I talk with an accent from home, and my sight comes from my nation, enhanced and loyal. -- Starguard, Federated Hunter w/ Beagle and Targeting Comp, the commo from the home factory

The answer, suprisingly *is* 42. The order doesn't much matter. -- Page 76 of '67. 6*7 is the question.

I am of the very large, just one of them. Apparently I slimmed down a bit, because I'm just barely still considered to be one of the big boys. -- A titan, but the 'Mech only tips in at 60 tons.

The Terran Hegemony designed me as the 'ultimate BattleMech' in response to the Lyrans stealing plans for the Mackie.

I made a famous physical attack.   So iconic in the fluff, it'd be on the short list of possibilities to go into the trailer if they ever made a BattleTech movie.

Ninja'd with the correct answer as I was posting the next clue!

Clues explained:
"The Terran Hegemony designed me as the 'ultimate BattleMech' in response to the Lyrans stealing plans for the Mackie."  Right out of the TRO3025.

"I made a famous physical attack.   So iconic in the fluff, it'd be on the short list of possibilities to go into the trailer if they ever made a BattleTech movie."
If the movie were set in the fall of the Star League, Alexsandr Kerensky kicking down the gates to the Palace would certainly get special treatment.

All you manticore72

Thanks, Tai Dai Cultist.

OK, here you go, first clue... I have been tested to the extreme(s).
