Normally I would say that opfor just got a headshot on someone but really only the catapult has a lot of missiles. Maybe every shot missed or something?

I choose to believe "murderous" means "Cloud Potato just did like 50,000 crits on that Gladiator which just stackpoled from getting owned so hard." Alternately, substitute my name for Cloud Potato, but I don't have a billion missile launchers like the Catapult so it's less likely.

It'll scuttle across the field, snatch up whatever unit got downed, bolt the remaining parts on to itself, then scuttle back to its original position. In a single movement phase. And still be able to shot.

After adding up all the weight from the weapons, armour and engine I'm coming up with 8.5 tons worth of free space. So perhaps a hidden weapon? Also I'm pretty sure it's packing Clan DHS because 22 IS DHS simply won't fit.

It's a decorator crab. It sticks pieces of dismembered mechs to its shell. Or wait! It swims and that water is connected to the sewer thing in the middle of the map and it can just dive into there and pop out the other side the next turn. Or! This!

King of the Pirates: Tactical Update 9 “Fucker!” Susie roared in anger as the spindly Death’s Consort machine blew off her `Mech’s left arm. The alien Clan design compensated brilliantly, she barely had to focus to keep on her feet despite her `Mech’s suddenly unbalanced weight. Her attacker slumped over a moment later as the Assassin cored through it from behind—at least she’d be able to take its arm, assuming the local scavengers didn’t get to it first. It was closer in weight to her own machine—the stripped down Guillotine arm she’d been using had put extra strain on her `Mech’s bulky, lightweight frame. Her own frustrations unrelenting, she leveled her remaining arm at the Dragon and fired a careful, precise burst from her remaining large laser. The Clan weapon flickered, leaving a purple afterimage seared across her retinas as it sliced into the Dragon’s chest like she might’ve sliced into a roast turkey. Armor melted then flashed into a burning metallic steam and entire armor plates tumbled and fell to the dirt road below. Undaunted, the Dragon dropped its shoulder and charged, vanishing out of sight as it smashed through a shop façade that had, only moments before, promised “the prettiest girls on this block!” in garish, clashing neon.
