A lot of times, Clan OmniMechs - which have been around since the early '90s - are still viewed with a sense of mystique, something that I cannot really understand. Did you know that there are only 41 canon OmniMechs (as of TRO:3075)? Now, once you equate each Omni to 5+ configurations, you obviously reach a number well beyond 200.
And I, for one, always argue that OmniMechs are defined by their configurations. Even a mediocre chassis can be saved by being really well equipped. Nevertheless, it is still useful to know
- an overview of the number/type of Omnis
- their parameters (speed, armour, etc)
- their weapons potential
I have hence organised the 41 Omnis into four tables that have identical contents, the only difference being the order in which they are listed:
Table 1: Clan Omnis in order of weight - this is basically your standard, bread 'n' butter roster
Table 2: Clan Omnis in order of pod space - this is really what the Omni is all about: just how much death can it deal? We all know about the Dire Wolf, but what about the Savage Coyote? Would you have ever thought that the Ebon Jaguar was the best-armed 5/8 Omni?
Table 3: Clan Omnis in order of armour protection - often overlooked. It actually turns out that the Executioner has very decent armour, after all! The Hellbringer still really, really sucks, though.
Table 4: Clan Omnis in order of speed - this is somewhat redundant, because everyone can likely tell the speed of their machines blindfolded. What can I say? I am a completist... We finally get a list in which the Phantom places in the top 3!
I hope you find these useful, too!
