Description

The Atlas is probably the most well known 'Mech to set foot on the modern battlefield. Originally designed after the Cameron Edicts were issued, the sole intent behind the Atlas was to ensure SLDF superiority over the Star League member states. The specifications were laid down by Aleksandr Kerensky himself; "a 'Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally." With nineteen tons of Durallex Heavy Special armor, crippling firepower, and the foreboding skull shaped "Deaths Head" cockpit/head assembly, the Atlas lives up to its reputation; even the mere sight of an Atlas has been known to make a veteran MechWarrior break out in a cold sweat.

Armament

The Atlas is armed with a multitude of weapons for both long and short range combat. For long ranges, the 'Mech carries a Doombud LRM-20 missile launcher that allows it to fire both directly at an enemy target at long range and to give indirect fire support when needed. For close range combat, the 'Mech is armed with a Deathgiver Autocannon/20 and four Hellion-V Medium Lasers which can eviscerate any 'Mechs who dare to come into close combat range. Finally, to take advantage of weakened areas of an enemy's armor, the Atlas carries a Thunderstroke SRM-6 launcher.

Variants

  • AS7-K - An upgrade of the Atlas that uses rediscovered Star League technology, the K model is built with a XL Engine that reduces the weight of the engine by half. The 'Mech has been rearmed with some new weaponry as well. For long range combat, the 'Mech carries a Gauss Rifle and an LRM-20 missile launcher. These are backed up by a pair of ER Large Lasers which allow the Atlas to keep an enemy at range. For close range defense, the K model carries two Victory Heartbeat Medium Pulse Lasers and a Yori Flyswatter Anti-Missile System for missile defense. Finally, CASE has been added to the side torsos to protect against an ammunition explosion. BV (1.0) = 1,649, BV (2.0) = 2,175
  • AS7-C - A modification of the K model, the C model is intended to carry a C3 Slave unit into combat. This is achieved by removing one of the Medium Pulse Lasers from the K model. The extra free ton has been used to add another heat sink to the design. BV (1.0) = 1,650, BV (2.0) = 2,163
  • AS7-CM - Another modification of the K model of the Atlas, the CM Atlas is designed to carry a C3 Master Computer into battle. In order to do this one of the ER Large Lasers has been removed and in its place a C3 Master computer has been installed, allowing it to coordinate a C3 lance. BV (1.0) = 1,725, BV (2.0) = 2,036
  • AS7-K2 - The K2 model of the Atlas uses a XL Engine and increases its rating to 400 giving the K2 model a top speed of 64.8 kph. The 'Mech is armed with an Gauss Rifle and two ER Large Lasers for long-range combat. For close combat, the 'Mech carries two Streak SRM-6 launchers. Finally, to protect against advanced enemy electronics, the 'Mech has a Guardian ECM Suite. The K2 is also protected with sixteen and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor. BV (1.0) = 1,751, BV (2.0) = 2,163
  • AS7-K3 - A modification of the K2, the K3 removes the two Streak SRM-6 launchers and replaces them with three jump jets and a Streak SRM-4 launcher, giving the 'Mech incredible maneuverability. BV (1.0) = 1,952, BV (2.0) = 2,346
  • AS7-S - A very basic upgrade of the standard Atlas, the S model removes five heat sinks from the design to add two rear firing Coventry T4H Streak SRM-2 launchers, giving the Atlas increased protection in its rear arc of fire. BV (1.0) = 1,658, BV (2.0) = 1,923
