      RAC, Dual clan er large lasers, and an LRM20. You got a good balance of armor stripping sand blasting and raw alpha potential.
      Combine that with the increased speed for the defensive boost and positioning, you've got a compelling package for medium-long range.

    I like how the Atlas-II has its own distinct identity from the first Atlas, rather than being a replacement design. At least in their earlier variants, the Atlas-II seems to be more of an assault command mech that can fill a lot of roles with its varied long-range armaments yet lacks a knockout-blow. This contrasts heavily to the first Atlas, which was a battering ram or bodyguard mech that can also be a command mech while carrying the biggest gun around. It’s a bit of a shame that these differences in battlefield roles decrease as the timeline progresses and more variants are introduced.

    Very nice, and I can't wait to get this box as well.
    I did enjoy how you balanced the appeal and history of both the major figureheads that piloted the Atlas II. You gave the history of Nikolas as his ugly history we all know it for, but you gave a quote from the perspective of a person that loved him, and then did almost the opposite for Devlin Stone giving a quote from the average person torn from his home and abandoned by his leader for this new upstart that thinks he knows better while giving the history of a pretty good (at least for BattleTech) leader. Whether that shine continues remains to be seen, though I suspect, and hope, the Tucker Harwell story may bring closure to some of the Dark Ages unanswered questions.

      @@BigRed40TECH Yeah, the concept of a dedicated Commander's Mech shouldnt make much sense with Zellbrigen rules too.
      I really wish the clans lost. It kind of makes sense that their way of war had no focus on anything beyond raw firepower, but I guess the setting decided they wanted to validate the Clan way of war and life, after having initially repudiated it at Tukayidd.

    Excellent stuff, BigRed!👍
    I knew very little about the II.
    I ended up painting my son’s Atlas III (not II) in a skeletal scheme like Phantom years back. At the time I’d seen a lot of Atlas models with their heads painted like skulls, maybe I’d seen Devlin’s too. I knew little about BT lore then, just thought it’d be cool. Of course it got comments of “it looks like Devlin Stone’s”…which drove me to Sarna and got me deeper into the lore😄
    BTW, what’s that mech in the art at around 1hr 9mins with the fist-of-missiles??

    I'm surprised you managed to wring an hour and change out of the Atlas II. I didn't think there was that much history around this, and that it had a much smaller place in history.
    This feels like a much more natural and logical evolution of the Atlas than the Atlas 3... but that also goes to show why the Atlas 2 isn't as memorable or distinct as its own thing as the 3. It also doesn't hurt that the art for the 3 isn't misleading, unlike the 2, which looks like it has an UAC or RAC instead of an LBX AC... despite only one listed config sporting a RAC, and that one came after the Atlas 3 had one in its base version.

    This is exactly why I think the Atlas II particularly the AS7-DK-H is better gunned than the Atlas III. I mean what can those dinky medium x-pulse lasers do when the latter runs out of ammo? Not to mention it can't even fire all 4 because it only has a pitiful 10 double heatsinks. I mean what self respecting assault mech only has 10 double heatsinks? Every assault mech usually has at least 14 or more. It's as if the equipment tonnage of the III is lesser than its predecessors. Why even bother piloting an Atlas III when the original "King of the Monsters" is already good as it is?

    Idk why the Atlas 2 has ER large lasers because stock large lasers are
    1: Cheaper
    2: Cooler
    3: Lighter
    4: Have almost the same range as the LBX-10
    My personal Atlas 2 in Mercs 5 also has regular medium lasers instead of pulse lasers just to keep it a little colder.
