She's a mean-looking machine - in that opening pic - Clan-casual and ready to rumble. And stee-rike like the serpent of its original namesake. “Dragonfly” is good too, for the same reason it was given that designation.
“D” for death and as a personal choice of variant types, of course including the “E”. A lot of close-combat versions made out of the base Viper-Dragonfly. They sound like a good mix to deploy in decidedly urban battle zone. The “J” and the “K' both also might be interesting to give test drives to.
Using this snout-and-double-uppercut 'Mech's speed against it and closing the distance seems like a reliable general tactic for survivial in engagements against it. Having truly spanned the alphabet of variants 'til its end, GDN, it's proven to be a usefully adaptable BattleMech. Thanks for covering it, as another lore venture into BattleTech. Until next week's return trip, be well and have an awesome rest of the week.

Mike love your alphabet comment you put it in terms even a Mech pilot understand."😃👍

When I first encountered the Clans on Table Top, the first thing I ran into was this thing! I believe it was the Prime Configuration.
This was back in 1994.
My Warhammer 6R lost most of its armor on the left side and only defeated the Dragonfly because I slammed my right leg into its legs, and hit with all my machine guns and small lasers.
When I finished the game, I had a barely functioning Mech.
This emphasized how much more powerful Clan Technology was over the Inner Sphere. If he had stayed at range, I would have flatly lost.

I remember running around with this in Mechwarrior 3, was fun setting a config with an array of small lasers and spamming chain-fire while going in circles. lol

[@donright4492]

Oh boy I feel the need for speed
I remember getting my hands on this bad boy "I" like the viper dragonfly because it's good speed and decent armor, it's like the way-cooler version of Ed 209 brother, oh man Fletcher did the viper right, the color scheme I would have had purple and black
Giving the guns a golden color,
And configuration B would be up my alley with a sniper built weapon small lasers and flamethrower and can get up close and nast and go long range
Yes a fine Mech definitely pay for a second one for a backup,"
😃👍

One of my fav MWO mechs to run!!🎉🎉

[@andresabourin2423]

I love these vids. Keep the Battletech stuff coming! Any chances you'll do more Battletech/Mechwarrior audiobooks? Not requesting, just inquiring.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Hey and thanks. No Battletech audiobooks are planned, though I'd personally like to do more. Unfortunately, that doesn't pay the bills.

[@georgesulea]

Love these videos; with all these variants , I half expect this"Configuration Triple Z -2 carries an espresso machine and can make any omelette you can think of, restrooms are optional..."

[@ThelemicPotter]

Toilets in the cockpit is an Inner Sphere feature.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Restrooms would make them unstoppable.

[@neobushidaro]

Like the challenger tanks have a tea kettle onboard

[@teehasheestower]

It seems like a Clan evolution of the Crab almost. Being a bit lighter and an omni mech.

[@gregbird5684]

Thanks GDN😊 u da narrator 😂😂😂

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Thanks for watching.

[@spacewolfblackmane19]

It's a pretty underwhelming design especially for a light medium scout mech. It's not terrible in the role, but way over costed for such a role

[@xxxlonewolf49]

[@pbr-streetgang]
