FATE Inspired by Battletech: Non-canon Examples

So now I'm making 'mechs that aren't canon or which were originally made with the FATE rules. It's not enough to create 'mechs from Battletech; a good system can go beyond that. At the very least, I want it to go beyond that.

Cobra IIC
This little guy is certainly made with the Battletech rules. It's from the 3087 setting I kinda half-made a while back and tried to run with the guys. The Cobra IIC is a signature of 'mech of The Federated Hellfire Territories, a mixtech chassis that sports a pair of Clan Streak LRM 15's as its central weapons.

Aspects
High Concept: The Dancing Death
Trouble: Cutting Edge Design
Aspect: Long Range
Aspect: Missiles
Aspect: Jump Jets – Can invoke this aspect when trying to climb slopes or jump over obstacles.
Aspect: National Unit – A player may invoke this aspect to acquire this 'mech or related repair components if they're especially well connected with the Federated Hellfire Territories government.*

*A unit may rise above the skill cap by turning an aspect into a non-combat aspect.

Equipment Points
Ammo Points: 4

Neural Interface: 4

Stunts
Sandblast: A pair of Streak LRM 15's definitely qualify.

Strong Firepower

Running Back
I want a fast, hardened bullet. Not quite the old Evileye but something that's got more speed and armor than weapons.

Ruggedness: 3

Maneuver: 3

Aspects
High Concept: Battlefield Messenger
Trouble: A Rare Gem – The Running Back is a design that's sparsely distributed among a few units. It's rarely attached to a larger command and its specialty components are hard to find.
Aspect: Red 100 Stealth Baffle
Aspect: Prowler System
Aspect: Constituency Array

Structure: 4

Stunts
Fightin' Hands
Coil Chassis Package
Tough as Rivets
Zebra Stripes

Topper

So the Running Back had nothing but structure & maneuver based abilities. What if we went the other way and made a glass cannon that can bury itself knee-deep in its own ammunition?

Of course, there's no way to tell how any of these will actually play until I get a stable of them together, have players pick them out, and run a game, but I can't even get a Star Trek game wrapped up, so that's a bit of a pipe dream.

I've really like doing this, but I think this is the end of the road for right now. I've also realized that I no longer have my 'mech designs online. I do have my old Xanga blogs, so I'm thinking of using Thursdays to post the old designs--with a directory. 

Hopefully, that'll be something for folks to enjoy instead of a slippery slope into the sarlacc pit of Battletech (no offense).
