Thanks to :iconthe-colonel-382: recently posting his custom 'Mech lance, I ended up digging this out from the depths of my hard drive. I have been a fan of the Archer BattleMech for a long time. It's my favorite, second only to the Centurion - which I have a couple other custom designs of floating around somewhere that I might break down and find/recreate sometime. But for a heavy 'Mech, the Archer has just about everything I'd like. It's probably the closest thing the Inner Sphere ever had to the Clans' iconic Mad Cat/Timber Wolf design, and the flexibility my version has would make, I'd like to think, for a fairly scary sight across the battlefield. Two tons each of LRM and SRM ammo, with Artemis IV for the missiles and a Targeting Computer for the energy weapons. With the light PPCs, it can run fairly hot, and I'd like to cram Triple-Strength Myomers in there somehow, but there just flat out isn't enough room.

Cool design.  Showed it to my friend who loves MML's.
I am pleased to say that he has already used this design to slap me around.
That was until he took a 40 point mace hit to the head. ;)
80 ton 'Mech, Hardened Armor, TSM and a Mace.
Priceless.
:evileyes:

And yes I will be posting the stats of the beast that I used here shortly.
