However, why is the AKU-2XC labeled "Experimental"? It uses nothing too extreme, having AECM and C3BSS - other units having them are labeled as Advanced. May need a revision. I may have missed that in my evaluation of C3 Alpha Strike units because of the Experimental tag.

As explained by nckestrel on another board, units are labelled "Standard", "Advanced", or "Experimental" based on what their level was when they were introduced.  The MUL is not (currently?) able to display different rules levels based on eras.

I was wondering why something I wrote popped up suddenly since I haven't written a 'Mech of the Week article in, uh, forever?

RotS gets an Akuma? Sweet, I finally have an excuse to actually keep my mini! Don't normally play Kurita, but these things are gorgeous! [drool]

By the way, you forgot the Coolant Pod mounted on the -2XC. :) It won't need it under most circumstances, but the ability to let rip even once with a full alpha stike and stay frosty should not be underestimated. Could also be handy for fighting your way out of an ambush that uses lots of plasma or infernos.

I building up a smoke jaguar huntress garrison force and now I have an excuse to get this model!

I love the mech! There are tons of Mods I have done to it. I wish there was a C3 Master model. Great Article as always!

Would Gaels work instead?

Would there been an Akuma on Huntress in service of the Clan?  The Mech premiered in 3058, so the thing have been out for 2 years prior to Huntress. It does leave slimmer of chance being on Huntress, but i doubts are sky high on how something that's suppose to be elite mech some how end up being trucked for year on the Exodus Road to Hunteress in time for Task Force Serpent to appear.

It's theoretically possible.  Highly unlikely, but Battletech is full of mechs showing up in highly unlikely places.

And a brand new model featuring a new weapon system (MRMs) would be something that would get flagged as a priority for research.

Which is how the garrison commander wrote up his “delivery “ of said mechs
