Awesome AWS-8Q is a Assault-class 'Mech in Battletech.

Description

The Awesome is an Assault 'Mech best suited for long range fire support. Three PPCs and 28 heat sinks allow the AWS-8Q to deal out massive punishment at extreme range. At close range, its weight allows it to deal considerable melee damage.

Loadouts

Unfortunately, the simply excessive heat generated by the in-game PPCs and Large Lasers make the Awesome completely unusable, outside of the gimmick 'Sleepy Time' 6x PPC configuration.

A 'Mech that truly lives up to its name! The Awesome 8Q mounts a frightening trio of PPCs that can destroy, knock down, or debilitate any target in no time. It's ungainly, but it can shrug off huge amounts of incoming fire.
