I watched this video like a (Night)hawk!
You really blew through my ignorance!
You obviously did not just Kobald a quick video together! Well done!!!

Ah, the suits by BattleTech's version of Google.
The Nighthawk bears a fitting name; a suit seemingly designed for after-dark covert ops.
For an accidental, pared-down variant of that first model, the Tornado's apparently proved applicable and practical enough to arm-up for continued multi-faction use.
As the third Comstar unit here that I hadn't known of (sneaky all-seeing eye "phone company"), the somewhat-reduced mobility of the Kobold sounds like it's a worthwhile trade-off for the suit's even greater adaptibility in role function.
Though, you said it - OCP, I mean Comstar would simply switch off the satellite towers. "Bill is due!"
Your records of this awesome universe are always appreciated - thanks again, GDN.

I can honestly say I have never actually heard of Comstar using battle armor. But in the wise words of Professor Tex, when in doubt Comstar did it

0:42 'discount adeptus mechanicus' 😀, love GDN's settle humor. Just like Discount Dan 😎.

P(a)Ls are underrated. They are actually really effective for their price when used properly.

[@halfdanasatru9251]

Great 👌 Thank You 💪

As much as i love halo spartan power armor, i think i choose some of the battle armors from battletech universe. Though i love to see helljumpers having their own version of battletech battle armor. ^^

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

Well, these are probably way less agile than spartan armor.

[@danielmcphee2546]

@@GrimDarkNarrator i think their were few that were nimble as spartan armorsbut if memory serves those were usually light power armors.

An excellent video Grim.
I never knew that Com-Star had battle armors.
Going over the video, I would like to field Kobold suits myself. And, perhaps find a way to get my hands on the Kobold II-C variant.
I wonder how many tons of rare elements would be necessary to trade for a few such suits? I suppose I could trade the rare ores and elements to any of several Periphery States to get them to 'order' the suits for me.
Good think my 'home' system mines such stuff in large amounts.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

To be honest, I didn't even know Comstar had a military before starting Battletech lore overall.

[@franksmedley7372]

@@GrimDarkNarrator : I suspected that Com-Star had an army. I never expected it to be so large as Tukyyid proved they had.

I think this is after ATT and southwestern bell merged. They sent my mother a phone bill that wasn't correct. It was $800. My mother told them she wouldn't pay that and the people at ATT said bet. She went full Karen and she's a OG Texas woman so they fucked up. She wrote the FCC. In a week she gets a letter from the Vice President of ATT with an apology for their mistake.

[@GrimDarkNarrator]

She sounds awesome.
