Typhoon: "You know, we had to pull parts from the heavy mechs to get these cougars operational" Me: "you took parts from the *heavy* mechs to fix the *light* mech?" Loved that Mechassault reference from Team Typhoon, great video once again!

I mean, if they're IS heavies to get clan lights operational that can be a good deal.
When he tried to tell the people that he was the reason why the base powered off but was not able to was very, very relatable.

The fact the 2 hover tanks was there could have told them the rookie found the powerplant and we back him up.
We need more fan made balletletech/mechwarrior animation like this. Personally I rank it as my favorite sci-fi universe
The captions on my phone said the Crescent Hawks were sitting on top of some "Mexican Technology!" LOL!!!😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I don't think any amount of C-Bills would have made them give up the mechs, clan invasion or not.

You'd be this mad too if you had to pilot a stock Vulcan, lol.
Nice callback to the Vulcan Mechlab video.
Loved the humor in this piece! Your storytelling is getting better and better.
"I'm going to be blunt: you suck." Awesome delivery on that.
Holy Timber Wolf, this was fantastic to watch! My dad introduced me to the Mechwarrior universe back when I was just a kid in 2000 with Vengeance, and I've been a fan ever since. And this right here brought me the biggest smile to my face in recent memory!
Just hearing the MW2 sound effects was enough to make me smile on an otherwise rotten morning. Thank you for that.
Damn dude, epic, great VO work too!
Really fantastic animation. I enjoyed every second of it. I really hope this becomes a series. I can see myself getting attached to these characters, especially the rookie. It'd be fun to see all the missions he goes on, trying to rise through the ranks. Definitely going to subscribe and hope for more.
damn I feel for that Vulcan pilot

Ay, a MechAssault reference at 1:32. Awesome.
That pilot bitching about his vulcan sums up my Mech warrior career
Very well done, thanks for keeping MechWarrior alive.
Top notch, the 'pitstop' bit with the nervous look away was really well done for animating without dialogue to get the scene across.
Excellent work, most entertaining and neat to see the Crescent Hawks at the center of this. Nice call back to the first Mechwarrior game!
I appreciate you making the models of the mechs (like that patrolling crab earlier on in the video) staying true to how they were depicted in the original battletech manuals from the 80s and 90s. Good stuff.
The voice acting, models and animation are the best I’ve seen so far. Loving this. Glad you’re still in the game, so to speak! Seems you really pulled out all the stops for this one!
Best one so far, also dibs on the valkyrie
That first half a minute gave off a lot of MechWarrior 4 start-of-mission cutscene vibes...
Superb Animation! The script, and the quality are great. And for those who are around my age and get this reference: "Initiate enhanced imaging!"
This is amazing! Thank you for making some mechwarrior animations you never see them!
Your channel is the next best thing for a battletech animated series and when I saw this video came out it made my day, I love it and keep up the good work.
This channel is undersubbed it needs more love and attention for the work it makes, I hope your your channel gets more subbs and continue with the great uploads!

"We had to pull parts from the heavy mechs to get these cougars operation" Hold on, you took parts from the heavy mechs to repair a light mech?! Instantly recognized that Mechassault reference, amazing animation!
This was great! The graphics were a bit of a throwback to old MW games. The voice work and acting were terrific. It reminded me of the old Roughnecks series which I loved. If there was a series of this, I would watch it.
Possibly my favorite one- and not just because it has my voice some lol. Great stuff!

Proud owner of the first three games release for free by the current owners. Still trying to get missionforce cyberstorm still. Careful with the free version of starsiege though, no music or most of any important character voice lines n the game with jank character profile pictures. Still runs mostly fine though
Amazing animation. Enjoying every bit of it. 25th anniversary of MW2. July 24th.
I was a little disappointed that the lasers were not constant beams and didn't use the mechwarrior 4 sound effects, (best sound effects) but damn am I happy to see somebody doing these! (2:26) that's what you get for sacrificing so much armor for ac/20s
Wow, took this long for KZread to put this in my feed. Good stuff, kind of a fan of some of the older models. You have my subscription
Hahaha I agree about the Vulcan for sure. That tirade at the end was great.
I just stumbled across this today. One, this is nice, it brings to mind the early seasons of Red vs Blue. Two, it makes me want to dust off my technical readouts and get my Battletech minis into my active painting queue. Three, is this a Machinima animation, and if so what game did you use for a base, if not that's even more impressive and opens up a gigantic world of possibilities for more. Four, it's been a long time since I have read anything Battletech related, but I am certain one of the variants for an Inner Sphere vehicle specifically mentioned that it was converted into a beer wagon by a particularly rambunctious lance of Mech pilots. EDIT: I found it. Technical Readout 3058 Upgrade Badger Tracked Transport 30 Ton Tracked OmniVehicle Notable Crews: "The Hotbox Five" -I am abridging here- Assigned to Reed's Roughnecks mercenary unit these Badgers have all weaponry stripped out in favor of equipment converting them into a mobile entertainment venue and nicknamed the "Booze Cruisers" by the mercenaries they support.
I love the MW2 sound effects!
The Cybeer is definitely the best part of this.

The Work on this one is STUNNING! well, you've done it again. You amazed us all.
i love this!!!! a base assult would be very difficult if they have both air support as well as turret defences. although, i do wonder why the turret generators would be outside the base (although i wonder if thats just a trope from the franchise as a whole lol). bringing out the beers gave me strong starcraft terran campaign vibes "thank god for cold fussion". ps. man i love the stinger (and the wasp). i wish this little "unseen" mech gets more attention (would love to have it in mwo).

If it was in the base it would paint a big target on it and if a stray shot hits said generator and causes it to go offline, bye bye Caliope Turrets (and Laser turrets if it doesnt have a backup power system)

I love this aesthetic, reminds me of those old CG cutscenes from C&C.
Love it, thank you for adding to the collection of the body of work that is the Battletech universe...
lmfao I loved this one. good friggin job rookie!. protect that beer!
still love watching your animations, wish could see more mechwarrior/battletech animations like yours. ^^ From the mechs themselves, space battles, and infantryman. The series such underrated series and deserves more attention
8:31 the avarage drunk mechwarrior.
Ahhhh...... that Cougar joke takes me back.
In a line of well done work, this is the very best. Hilarious!
I really love how this big work is in continuity with your other smaller videos 😄
Loved this video, great to see past characters, mechs, and turrets combined into one great showpiece. Congratulations!
Awesome work!! Love the mix of drama, action and humor :D
This deserves alot more love then it has gotten, great work brother
This is one of the best Battletech animations I've ever seen. No cap.
This was extremely enjoyable, thank you and keep up the good work! you improve with each video.
Just found this and I'm so damn happy that I did. This is amazing stuff!
Damn this is awesome!
this animation is way better than entire mw5 mercs game
Was that a little mechassault camo I heard :3c "We had to pull parts from the heavy mechs to get these cougars working"
I wouldn't mind a MechWarrior 2 remake with these stylized graphics. A blend of retro and new.
I've been a fan of the Crescent Hawks since Crescent Hawk's Revenge.
Always love coming back to your mechwarrior animations. Shame arent more people on youtube that do animations like yours. Only handful, always halo, star wars, warhammer, and few others. ALso want see fan animation of star wars and battletech walkers/mechs and ground forces going at it lol
Also, THANK YOU Your videos are amazing! If you ever need any help let me know, I got a buddy who would kill for a chance to show off his voice

Excellent! Thank you for your work!
Great animation and voice work, but some of the story telling parts, attacking the Crescent Hawks to save the Inner Sphere, heavy mech parts to fix lights, the almost nonexistent defenses of what powers the fort's defenses without any kind of back up...just made my head hurt.
great job!!
