Battletech: Atlas
This is an Atlas, the prototypical assault mech of Battletech. While the Atlas appears in many different forms across the Inner Sphere, two main configurations are dominant. One, the older configuration, has a massive but short-ranged AC20 for its main gun. Newer versions of this mech mount a Gauss Rifle, a long-ranged, hard-hitting weapon. As can be expected, older versions are better suited to urban fighting than open terrain. This older Atlas has been painted in urban camo to reflect its primary role as an urban defense fighter.
