I've started getting into TROs, so I'll most likely pick this up somewhere down the line.

I've got a lot of ground to cover first  ;D


Well when I wake in the morning and I step outside, I take a deep breath and I get real high and IIIIIIIIIII

Quite a bit past my budget.  :(

The Cover art is by "Flyingdebris"
As is the Art for the Planet lifter Tactical support aircraft (Awesome art by the way), other units include the Cheetah Stealth recon fighter, the Saber "AMS" fighter and the Corsair fighter, that is at lest what I know of.

David Whites Lucifer III Fighter is simply awesome in looks, though that bombast laser lets it down, but the rest is good.

What do you mean by un-awkwarded?

I do agree the new protos are nice looking, something that most protos before where lacking in, though their where some decent ones before...
The New Procyon is mean looking, punch is a bit light but then again you often have to deal with five the buggers at a time, so 10x AP Gauss and 5x SRM-2s is not something to sneeze at.
The Minotaur P2 is well typical of the Minotaur series, assault mech speeds & heavy armor, though it's got limited long range ability's with only a SRM-4, the twin improved heavy small lasers are muggers however, though, if you have a 90 ton mech they can hitch a ride...

Then theirs the freaky thing called the "Black Elf" (Svartalfa -norse). This protomech is a whopping 14 tons (yes you can make them bigger now it seems), Armor strong enough to take a improved heavy Gauss hit, two medium chemical lasers (IS mediums effectively) a MG and a Streak SRM-6. The alt config is a terror, twin LRM 15 racks. The good news, it's slow as dirt, only a single ground movement point. Though it's also a WIGE, yes folks this guy "flys" (4/6 WIGE movement).

$55 is quite a bit... even for me.  :(

And like Bill I've got some other TRO's I need to get (I've got TRO:3050 and.. thats it so far lol). Also seems like my buddies are switching from D&D 3.5 to Pathfinder so thats another hefty book I need to grab.

@Nebfer
When you get the chance, look really closely at the art, i like to sneak in little jokes n shit

The lung wang P2 dropship, is a predator class vessel, the side of it features some seemingly random letters on the side spelling out "YT-JA."  Pronounce that phonetically, and if you ever read any of the AVP or Predator comics/books, you'll understand ;)
The Saber is being piloted by a Cpt. Light
The Cheetah is being piloted by a Cpl. Chester
The Seabuster has some kill marks on the side as well as the the word "BUSTED!"
The Planetlifter has UGLY-1 and ARROW-3D on the side. http://img574.imageshack.us/img574/3609/arrowed.jpg
The Transit has "surprise!" and kill tallies on the side, it's essentially a flying long tom.
The number on the side of the Corsair describes a very different type of corsair
