Mechbay Alpha: Mechwarrior: Atlas

[quote]The Atlas was probably the most well-known 'Mech to set foot on the modern battlefield. Originally designed after the Cameron Edicts were issued, the sole intent behind the Atlas was to ensure SLDF superiority over the Star League member states. The specifications were laid down by Aleksandr Kerensky himself; "a 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally." With nineteen tons of Durallex Heavy Special armor, crippling firepower, and the foreboding skull shaped "Death's Head" cockpit/head assembly, the Atlas lived up to its reputation; even the mere sight of an Atlas had been known to make a veteran MechWarrior break out in a cold sweat.[url=http://www.mechwarriorwiki.com/wiki/Atlas]source[/url][/quote]
