    diesel guzzling? I thought battletech mechs used fusion reactors, unless they changed that at some point?

    Yes, most mechs have fusion reactors, but there are certain types of mechs (generally called “primitive”) which may use internal-combustion engines.

      nope, still fusion reactors
      i’m guessing whoever made the meme is only vaguely aware of battletech

      To be fair they have general vibe of being diesel-powered even if they actually aren’t

      Although it’d be funny if the fuel they were fusing was diesel

        Honestly if that was the lore of a Horus frame I think it would fit in

          Now we just need to spoiler the picture because it shows the Eva with half its armor missing.

              I mean they are in the setting but rarely used. Unless going by the start of the blackout age not ever really mentioned

                    Scythe is diesel powered mechs.

                    Battletech uses fusion. Their issue is heat management.

                        You are right, fusion reactors are used.

                        They overheat so hard that their fucking ammo cooks off even if it is stored in the extremities, i do not want to stand anywhere near a diesel-powered Mech, or even worse, pilot one when it fires a PPC Salvo.

                          I think is cause the style more than the actual tech that it has.

                              I played a lot of MechWarrior 2 as a kid. Give me the stompybois.

                                  MechAssault and especially MechAssault 2 hold a special place in my heart and I’m sad there hasn’t been a remake of either. Nothing like fighting giant mechs in power armor while Getting Away With Murder by Papa Roach or Right Now by Korn play. So much hype.
