Goblin is said to be the last Horus mech that acts more like a model line and less like a pattern group, so Goblins do tend to look like the standard model. That said, it's still a Horus design run by Horus pilots, so expect things to get paracausal.

Please note that you can Invade your allies without an attack roll or the 2 heat damage. Using Puppet System on your allies or an extraction objective is probably the most boring thing a Goblin can do with it's turn, but it's undeniably effective.

DM'S GUIDE TO HORUS MECHS: GOBLIN Goblins are a _fascinating_ example of how fantasy and our understandings of it evolve. I can say with almost total certainty that the modern concept of the goblin originates, as many modern fantasy elements do, with Tolkien. Rather than Lord of the Rings, the "goblins" first appeared in The Hobbit, being named as such and kidnapping Bilbo and company to "Goblin-town" under the Misty Mountains. Functionally, however, "goblin" is just a different name for a specific group of orc, namely the Misty Mountain orcs, who are physically more like what we call goblins now instead of what we usually call orcs (the latter deriving usually from Saruman's uruk-hai and the Black Orcs of Mordor). Goblins in D&D used the Hobbit goblins as their inspiration, and fantasy such as Warhammer and Warcraft followed suit from D&D, and so we reach today. Goblins are sapient humanoid creatures who are definitely best described as "little bastards". Universally short (though just how short depends on who you ask), cowardly, cruel, conniving, scheming, scrawny, backstabbing, and just overall taking a lot of the things faerie goblins did and making them more widespread tendencies. Typically living underground, especially in dungeons or other ruins, goblins have loosely organized "tribal" (whatever that means to you) societies, and compensate for being physically small and weak by grouping up in large numbers to fight and torment their enemies. In settings with more modern elements, goblins typically get associated with being machinists, artificers, and inventors, being very fond of working with machines to compensate for their scrawny stature (usually with very little concern for things like "safety" and "reliability"). They're usually seen as green or pale-skinned, reflecting their connections to the orcs, with big noses and ears (and often times eyes, as well -- being primarily subterranean, goblins often have outsized eyes that match their darkvision). Unfortunately, this is the part where I have to drag Real World Shit into here, because fantasy goblins suffer from having inadvertently picked up a _shitload_ of racist baggage over the decades. Specifically, being gold-hungry, conniving, swindling, greedy little backstabbers with big noses makes them line up _disturbingly well_ with some of the oldest and most prevalent anti-Semitic (AKA, racist against Jewish people) stereotypes. This is made worse in Certain Modern Fantasy Settings where they literally run the banking system. This is, unfortunately, something you really just have to keep in mind when you're working with goblins as a writer. Goblins almost always show up as toadies or minions to someone else physically (and/or socially) bigger and stronger than them, with orcs being the number one candidate. Most of the time they're seen as disposable, both by their bosses and sometimes by themselves, with very little concern for the life or well-being of others. In short, they're little bastards. However, goblins in modern times have started to become more popular as PCs or just generally characters instead of shooting targets to knock over, both as peoples' perception of how they enjoy their fantasy shifts (making "kill them all" fantasy less popular) and as properties like Runescape and Warcraft include goblin characters who become popular, usually due to having wildly outsized personalities.
I just randomly found your channel since I just found lancer and am thinking of builds, and all I want to say other than how useful this series is, is that you had a very easy hack the planet joke right infront of you But yea thanks bunches for the series
While attached to another mech, if said mech does an action that changes it state (go invisible), then the goblin is also effected as the two mechs are counted as one in the same.
I have three license levels in Goblin and one in Iskander. Puppet System and Eject Power Cores have pretty much been my bread and butter for the whole campaign so far. Sure, I get structured by a mean look and harsh language, but with a sensor range of 20, I can stay well out of harm's way... usually.
question if the gorgon is all about reactions and protecting the team and the goblin can be fused to you yet freely targeted separate from you while buffing you, could you use symbiosis and metahook to spam reactions if the enemy focuses the goblin and the gorgon is a "tank"? would that be a good combo?
Im new to lancer and Goblin and Balor are my favorite two Frames so far and i cant help but think how terrifying it would be if a balor and a goblin built themselves for symbiosis. Whats worse than a living woodchipper made of angry bees? A living woodchipper made of angry bees that just had its backpack force you into walking into it.

To really see how much a Horus frame can change under each pilot, visually

I'm looking forward to taking this to it's logical conclusion
It's more like "What if 4chan was a Corporation"

If goblin is on an invisible mech will it also turn invisible ?
I'd assume
While attached to another mech, if said mech does an action that changes it state (go invisible), then the goblin is also effected as the two mechs are counted as one in the same.
invisible is a condition
I'm a simple man I see brigador, I like

If I ever play this RPG, I really want to grab a goblin and squeeze.
I thought this mech was useless. I. Stand. Corrected.

I feel like Zentreya might actually have fun with this. Possibly. Then again, I'm heading that opinion on her using a robot voice, but who knows.
Never played Lancer (or read the rulebook lmao) but I've been binging these videos
As a Blackbeard main, I came here just to what to watch out to get to grapple range of a goblin before getting hacked myself
question if the gorgon is all about reactions and protecting the team and the goblin can be fused to you yet freely targeted separate from you while buffing you, could you use symbiosis and metahook to spam reactions if the enemy focuses the goblin and the gorgon is a "tank"? would that be a good combo?
That could totally work, obviously the gobbo needs a core power, but this strategy works well with most other defender builds.
