TT conversion

I'm a bit concerned, how that 'Mech will actually be possible by TT rules. LBX/10: 6 crits, UAC/5: 5 crits ... Arm with UA and shoulder actuators: 10 free crits.

I sure do hope, the PC game will not go into that terretory, where the roots are completely abandoned.

The weapons it comes with in the game are special "+++" variants, so even in the game it won't work with standard UAC/5s and LBX10s. I think they're meant to be either one-offs or early Clan-tech.


Wolverine Connection

Is it worth mentioning the implied Clan Wolverine connection? Beast GTS (talk) 16:18, 29 November 2019 (EST)

A bit of math makes it seem like the Bull Shark has a speed of about 55km/h. Also in teh game its said that the ship the Bull Shark was on was SLDF, so it would make a bit of sense that the Bull Shark was made during Clan Wolverines destruction, as they did make several new BattleMechs and Weapons. Thats all speculation however.Lightninglash (talk) 16:11, 7 December 2019 (EST)

Tech Base

I think that it should be marked as a Mixed (IS), due to fact that I've attempted to build MSK variant for TT, yet it's impossible with the purely IS components.
