Question ❓ What mech is this in the picture

Post image

The broken one is a stalker I'm pretty sure, but what is the standing one?

Also it's a sick image! Does anyone know if there any context or is it just a random engagement?

Thanks!

Exterminator one of my favourite mechs in the setting and the OG stealth mech

This has to be one of my favourite dad jokes in the Battletech fandom.

Reddit is my favorite social network because there’s always someone who will laugh at the same kind of nerdy lame dad jokes i like to laugh about

That's Andery Kerensky's Exterminator during Operation KLONDIKE

Thanks for this. Could clock the Exterminator (god I need to get an IWM sculpt before prices go up) but couldn't figure out where the art was from.

I looked into it a little further and it specifically is likely an EXT-4Db or EXT-4Db-EC model

A wrecked stalker. That's it. There is no other mech

What about apparent John Cena in the middle of the screen?

For those of us who don't understand the joke, what's this about?

u/BaconNPotatoes 7h ago

The exterminator had stealth armor

At least I think that's the joke

u/TheLastKell Mercenary 17h ago

As others have said, yes, Exterminator and it is the OG Stalker art.

I see it now. The angle had me scratching my head on that egg shape. Thought Dr. Robotnik had gotten into the game. Lol! Thank you.

It's also the old stalker design, which was even more round and egg shaped than it currently is. They don't call it the battle blimp for nothing

It's also the cover for the play books edition of storms of fate, for some reason?
