Description A new mech design commissioned by ~God-and-Davion for a fan TRO project (though not TRO 3063). While not a standard lineart TRO illustration, I did leave specific unit markings and battle damage off per the style.

The Superheavy "SuperLongbow" is a 160ton fire support mech. It carries plentiful armor and ammunition to stay in the battle, though it carries no defensive weaponry so it must operate with escorts. A Fa Shih battle armor is shown for scale.
Weapons:
8 Long Range Missile 15 launchers

I hear you like missiles, so have some missiles, with your missiles, with a side of missiles ending off with missiles....

Wow, cool! I love how you're drawing Mechs! By the way, are you planning to create something like a tutuorial on drawing such machines?

I did promise a tutorial on my book that I'll eventually finish. It'll either be on a mech or power armor.

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Shion67 [2015-07-26 01:50:15 +0000 UTC]

Superheavies are in the 105-200ton range, bigger than an assault class.

ToriasTitus [2014-06-13 05:40:17 +0000 UTC]

Because it weighs 160tons, it would be classified as a Colossal Mech.

Shimmering-Sword In reply to ToriasTitus [2014-06-13 07:46:59 +0000 UTC]

Colossal is a common nickname, Super Heavy is the official term for a mech in the 105-200ton range.

HIMSHalcyon [2014-03-03 07:15:15 +0000 UTC]

So it is 60 tons heavier than the Kraken III and carries the same offensive armament? I like the pic, but the stats aren't great.

Shimmering-Sword In reply to HIMSHalcyon [2014-03-03 08:41:01 +0000 UTC]

More armor, more ammo, and it's an inner sphere mech, might even cost less too. You can't really compare Clan mechs to IS mechs and expect the stats to match up.

psymonster1974 [2013-10-07 10:33:04 +0000 UTC]

The terrain and camo scheme are a winner for me. I like the radar boom, reminds me of the Rifleman, I think this one and the Rifleman should be friends and operate together.

AuroraHalsey In reply to psymonster1974 [2015-07-26 22:32:39 +0000 UTC]

It would go well with a Jagermech, Jagers can carry missiles for even more artillery spam too.

The only thing you will ever see coming over the horizon are the missiles this thing fires.
And that's the last thing you will see

Well how cute is this one
Some mechs are just aren't scary or fearsome..they are cute I remember the one named Catapult in Mechwarrior 4, two giant LRM rack, few lasers on the middle head section and no arms.. so adorable ^..^

In a weird way, it reminds me of something a friend once did on Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries involving an Atlas and a LOT of machine guns.
