- Generic greetings. This week's lore video is on the Marauder. One of the most famous and well known battlemechs of all time. Intended originally to usher in a new generation of designers, mechs and warfare. The marauder instead had to settle for being unshakably badass and unflinchingly cool. So settle in and enjoy half an hour of marauder memes and an overview of this lore.

PPC was originally chosen for the arms because they could withstand the abuse of hitting enemy. Especially with the reinforcement.
Easily my favorite 'Mech from the franchise. The
I don't know why, but I always feel like the Marauder has the same kind of cool factor that the F14 Tomcat had in the culture of their respective times.
Slapping people with its weapon pods aren't the only melee option it has. Have you ever seen someone get kicked by an ostrich? It's like that.
I fell in love with the Glaug Officer Battlepod when Khyron attacked the SDF-1 on Mars.
I'm 54. Sorry, Grandpa agrees with you about the Marauder. The new Catalyst version is tops. :P
It's the GUNSLINGER mech. Having 2 PPC's, and an ac5 are just *chef's kiss*.
They paid to use those designs from a Japanese company. Harmony GOLD played some legal shenanigans cause they had the right to MACROSS that had those designs in them but they might not actually own the rights to those designs in other media, that were a result of the differences between Japanese IP law and USA IP law, that lead to keeping the legal issue in limbo for decades, H. GOLD, eventually have lost after years of being in and out of court only to have part of the rights sold to them again by the Japanese macross rights holders?. But there are still issues with MACROSS license which have made it hard to bring all the anime over to the USA. Its really a messy case and I have a lot of it wrong cause im just trying to make a fast summation. But they did in fact legally purchase those designs. Even though they tech won in court, they just moved on long ago with the new designs they use.
Fun fact the helmets the pilots use in these mechs are security devices as well. If you try to turn on the system and you are not the pilot or tech in the system it will turn your brain into goo.
The Mech, the Myth, the Legend. The Maurader.
Correction about the unseen copyright situation: The copyright work WAS legal. The ACTUAL issue is that Battletech had the IP rights for the mechs FROM THE JAPANESE DESIGNERS (so no "copying".. they paid to be able to use these designs), and Harmony Gold who sued Fasa had the distribution rights for the shows from the SHOW OWNERS. Two very different IP rights... FASA back in the day did not have the money to fight this in the courts, not to mention that international copyright law back then was a nightmarian labyrinth.
The
I love running the "Make Capellans go away" variant x4 M Lasers and a LBX-10 Autocannon
Under the Advanced rules, this 'Mech can fire all of its weapons backwards
Capellan Commander: Parry this, you filthy casual. *launches nuke
I will always love the center gun Marauder for two reasons.
When it comes to the tabletop, you don't even have to show up with minis. Nobody cares what mini you use. EVERYTHING is table legal, you can bring a bottlecap, write MAD-3R on it and bring a sheet and nobody is going to complain.
Loved this design ever since it was called the Zendrati Officers Pod.
It can tank, it can snipe, it can jump, it can go hulldown, it can brawl, it can melee, it's the motherfucking marauder ladies and gents, the multipurpose fighting machine for all of your needs
Between, "Fat genghis khan" Grandma's "hand knitted heat sinks" and hunting elementals with mech-shot, you got a like and sub! xD
