Two heavy weapons make that medium Mech a force to be reckoned with. A crit-seeker and a "multi-tool" are a nice backup.
Due to its firepower and armor it can even engage some heavy Mechs with a good chance of success. Heat-management is an absolut must as with most Succession War aera Mechs but 16 heat sinks are a very good basis for that.
Just don't be to over-confident ;)

The 'Mech with it's insufficient heat dissipation and combination of speed and armament has some 'old' feeling about it, although for me it would fit more a refitted TH machine.
Heavy armour allows the Asgardian to withstand some punishment which it is bound to catch, because it's heavy armament and slightly below-average speed are going to draw attention. 16 heat sinks won't help you to build up movement modifiers anyway, although staying on the move is not a problem if you use the big guns judiciously.
A solid design, but it will be outshone by heavies wherever it goes. Still a good 'Mech for smaller company to manufacture (from marketing point of view), because everyone can't afford a Warhammer. For that you get another half-point. |

The Asgardian is a solid 3rd Succession War Mech of the line. It is well armored, decently heat-sinked for the era and its energy based main weapons give it staying power in Battle. Although not the fastest or agile design, it fits in with workhorse 'Mechs of the era such as the Centurion or the Enforcer.
My only quibble would be with the flamer and the layout. The flamer does add character to the design - IIRC the only contemporary Battlemech over 50 tons that mounts a flamer in its main configuration would be the Merlin, The BattleMech, however, has a serious blind spot on its left hand side. I'd suggest either moving the Large Laser to the LA or replacing the flamer with a rear facing medium laser, like the aforementioned Centurion. |
