Nice upgrade that retains the original engine. The speed still serves it well without reducing its sturdiness wit an XL.
The PPC/AC combination get a decent boost and some serious short range weaponry.

Definitely an improvement over the old machine, but I just wonder whether every SLDF royal 'Mech needs to have ES/FS/DHS combo to squeeze the maximum from the design (yes, I'm aware that XL engines are widely popular...). The Banshee seems to lack focus (in most of it's configurations), possessing some modest long range firepower and relying on physical attacks for short range fighting, but this 'Mech has at least something to throw at the enemy, that is at least close to real firepower.
If you look at the stats then you may find out that there is just a 95t Battlemaster and I can't complain on a 'Mech that I liked, I wonder whether it couldn't walk it's own way. |

It's hard to know what to say about this one. On one hand, it's got good speed for the armor it carries, but its engine is just too big to be efficient. I feel that an Orion, a design that is a full 20 tons lighter, would stand an even chance against this 'mech. There's nothing inherently wrong here, it's weight is just too much to justify. |

This is a nice, straight upgrade of the original Banshee. It has minor, but useful, improvements in all systems, without changing the basic character of the mech. This really feels like a Banshee, but with much better short-range guns.
Unfortunately, it suffers from the same problem as the original: the 41 ton engine. This means that it's essentially a very heavily armored 65 ton mech. Still, if used as a heavy mech rather than an assault, it should be tough opponent against other Star League mechs. |
