LoreWarrior Online - The Tai Sho

Built with two C3 master computers to coordinate large numbers of allied battlemechs, the Tai-Sho is the Kuritan command battlemech of the 3060's. Though it doesn't carry as much firepower for it's weight it can ably survive multiple hits and still deliver competent fire in return.

[@YalelingOz]

Yeah, I quite like the look of this mech too. Except those weapon proportions. I don't know why but the weapon muzzles in the art made me think this was the concept art for the Tai Sho toy and it comes with those click-in, spring powered, plastic projectiles that toy companies love so much.

Gives me kind of a Thug look

The largest AC10 EVER

I enjoy all of Critical Rocket videos

It's just wild that I get to watch BattleTech TV a few times a week.

[@twodaves9480]

I know you love the 'Lords Light' PPC but the best name? Nah... My inner ninetees edgelord teenager loves the 'Hellstar' with the 'Kinslaughter' getting an honourable mention.

[@CriticalRocket]

Kinslaughter is pretty special I won't lie there. Also not a PPC brand but Doombud for LRM 20's is part elegant and murderous at the same time.

[@teehasheestower]

It seems like for what the mech is made to do, the XL engine doesn't hurt anything.

[@chuck6458]

Production costs and survivability. Also space may be an issue with two C3M's in the left torso.

[@teehasheestower]

@@chuck6458 I think it's a good point, but one might as well invest if they value their equipment so highly. Honestly I prefer less fancy or complicated mechs all around.

[@sovietalex]

2x C3 Masters + XL engine = 13 spaces. Only 12 spaces per side torso. The Light engine would work, but the DCMS don't have that tech until years later.

[@teehasheestower]

@@sovietalex that's interesting that it's ultimately a technical limitation then and not a design choice.

[@smokestriker1258]

Double heatsinks? Most dishonorable.

[@CriticalRocket]

Run hot or die for the Dragon I assume? :)

[@sovietalex]

It's good enough, especially with there being so few alternatives as C3 Company Command 'mechs. But edge-highlighting that armour will take a geological epoch.

[@irishijo1]

This thing feels like a quintessential "Command" mech. Its job is to coordinate, stay back, and hit people from very long range. I like it

[@Havocme7]

Ahhh! The confusion! The subscription thumbnail is Mech Lore, but the intro is Armour! My brain!

[@CriticalRocket]

Get used to it. I batch edited these so I think all the 'mech vids will have that at the start for 5 seconds.

[@Havocme7]

@@CriticalRocket OK, I'll have to prep my brain.
Tanks with legs... Tanks with legs....

[@derekburge5294]

Oh, that lad needs a rework. THAT is a spud.

[@gerritvandenbosch4681]

Both the video and the mech now you have told me about it.

[@gregdomenico1891]

I like the design and concept for its time. However, in the current timeline, the newer ECM's are designed to disrupt both C3 and C3I systems, so this Mech could be running around with 10 Tons of useless weight.

[@CriticalRocket]

I assume Kurita by the 3100's have some replacement for the Tai-Sho as well. I need to get round to buying the more recent TRO's

[@randomnetsurfer]

"A big zit" OMG I died 🤣
