MechWarrior 4 Talon and Hrothgar DropShips
« on: 24 June 2011, 00:58:01 »
Hey guys, I was looking for any screenshots you could find of the Talon and Hrothgar DropShips.

Also, for those of you who have played Vengeance, do you remember how many BattleMechs those DropShips carry?

I know what weapons they have.  I'm mainly wondering what general size they are.  How much they carry.  Stuff like that.

Talon was 4 mechs max, I believe. Never get a number on Hrothgar.
I've heard that US freight trains move 1 ton of cargo 435 miles on 1 gallon of gas. I think this means we should all become hobos.

Well, here's the rest of pictures to have the job done. It includes:
  • the top surface of Hrothgar's heat shield
  • interior of Talon class dropship 'Mech bay
  • underside and topside of Talon dropship
  • Talon next to Uziel, Sunder and Stormcrow (be aware that the last two 'Mechs are crouching, so they look smaller than they actually are)

What do you need pictures like this for?  :)

Well, I'm seriously hoping to get them miniaturized, and if there is any hope to do it, first we need good art for them.  Or in this case really good screenshots.

And stats.  And their size.

From the book, we know their weapons.  From the game, we know how many 'Mechs the Talon at least can carry.  And with these screenshots, we can get an approximate size for them as well.  And from there, we should hopefully be able to compare them against the other DropShips and see if everything fits.  I'm sure hoping at least.  :)

I had presumed from the fact that the Hrothgar seems to be in both IS and Clan hands, and carries up to a binary of mechs that we've seen, that it's a sub-variant of the Union. Maybe scaled down a bit, but functionally the same.
I don't post to play nice with everyone. I post to posit my ideas. If this offends you, there's an ignore function.
