Experimental Atlas Variants¶
I’ve worked on a few custom Atlas variants representing experimental R&D in the late Succession Wars era.
AS7-X A “Magpie”¶
This Wolf’s Dragoons experimental version of the Atlas focuses on maximum speed. Engineers started with the venerable AS7-D and swapped the standard fusion engine for a clan XL engine. Then, the single heat sinks in the engine were then replaced with double heat sinks, allowing for higher sustained fire from the unit. Next, a supercharger was added, and the AC-20 and SRM-6 launcher were replaced with 2 PPCs, offering better damage at longer ranges. The ultimate goal with this design is to create a fast ‘scout’ assault mech that can keep up with lighter units in a scout formation.
AS7-X B “Nutcracker”¶
This Wolf’s Dragoons experimental version of the Atlas focuses on maximum firepower. Engineers started with the venerable AS7-D and swapped the single heat sinks for clan double heat sinks. The ultimate goal with this design is to create a maximum damage assault platform.
