I find it interesting that unlike most other Comstar associated mechs, this mech survived enough to be only uncommon. The RAT tables in Total Warfare puts in Mercenary, Pirate, Kurita, and Marik tables, while many other Comstar mechs are only for Comstar.

Right? I checked the MUL, and depending on the variant and if it's IIC or not, almost everyone has some access to the Guillotine, at some time. From Terra to the Periphery, from the distant Clan Homeworlds to the bustling industries of the Inner Sphere, the Guillotine is the unsung hero.

one of my favorite less well known mechs. the name invokes the sense that these mechs are the Star League's sanction against those who incur their ire, going in like hitmen with their jumpjets to navigate obstacles that stand in the way of the condemned. its a mech i wish was more popular in depicted mechs in the series as something that are deployed alongside Warhammers as close in brawler where the Warhammers follow behind providing ranged fire.

Laser-heavy loadouts, reach out and torch someone. This bad boy reminds me of the grasshopper, but the use of an SRM-6 over an LRM-5 feels like the better choice overall. I always wondered if this design was from the makers of the Awesome, Zeus, or Mauler due to how the shoulders and arms looked in the older art.

The Guillotine is one mech i really like yet which seems basically NO representation in any work, whether it´s novel, games or video. It even got a CLAN VERSION for f*cks sake! Jim Nelson´s early image of the full frontal Guillotine was one of the best depictions in the 2750 TRO. Chris Lewis and Leon Gor stayed true to it, and the Sam Wood CCG images look excellent as well. Same with the upodated interpretation by Alan Blackwell that´s now the official artwork, this mech really looks GOOD. And hits like a FREIGHT TRAIN.

It's in an odd spot where these game designers will rarely think they can fit the Guillotine in. I'm in the same boat of not liking how unused it is. Aesthetically less important than Unseens so it had a lower priority when the former were returning, gameplay wise for electronic media its optimized for a single sink design and so is less "interesting" than inadequately sinked alternatives. No excuse for books though. And I don't recall it being in the MC games, did you mistake the old Awesome for it?

It's basically the grandfather of the Grasshopper, with some more technology (strange to be such a veteranly old design versus the Grasshopper that is tremendously more modern) and changing the SRM capacity of the Guillotine for LRM for the Grasshopper, but the biggest difference, is that the Grasshopper is somewhat more prepared for melee combat, both for its hand actuators and for the position of the Large Laser. The Guillotine strangely has no royal version despite its age.

And once the memory core was discovered, it's hard that there wouldn't have been a copy of something as old as a "royal" Guillotine.

The Guillotine is one of those mechs that just works. Slap it on basically any lance and it'll make itself useful, it helps that it's also one of the less derpy of the FASA era designs. Sure you can nitpick it's design flaws, and it does have a fair few of those, but at the end of the day you cannot deny it's versatility or it's staying power particularly against other mechs that excel in urban environments like the Victor or Hunchback.

The Guillotine is a staggeringly good mech, and the Clan Coyote refit shows this in spades. All their technicians did was swap out the heatsinks for slightly fewer doubles then make use of the saved weight to enhance the energy weapons significantly (to the point where the heatsinks have no hope of coping with the combined output of an ER PPC, two ER Mediums and a pair of Large Pulse Lasers), and replace the SRM-6 with a streamlined Clan version.

The Guillotine works best in Table Top as a flanking mech. As a part of a heavy lance it's best used to jump into position after the enemy has reacted to whatever the other friendly mechs are doing. When it gets up close and personal it acts like a can opener on opposing mechs.

Ah the Guillotine, now this is a mech that I know well and I have so much respect for it! It’s a old warhorse but still damn good at what it does and the fact that it’s been produced so long and is so rugged means that they are easy to find out in the periphery. They arnt as common as some mechs like the Thunderbolt but they are still easy enough to find and supply. And when you put a pilot in one then that have a good chance of coming back alive. I have a fair amount of experience with this machine as well, I trained in the simulator with all of my units mechs and especially my Mama’s t-bolt but when I was made a official Mechwarrior apprentice I was assigned to apprentice with Corporal Torres, who piloted the Guillotine in my mama’s heavy lance. I was expected to learn how to pilot her machine and to be able to take it into combat if she was sick, injured, or killed. So I got a lot of hands on training with it and I was involved in a few fights inside one before I finally was assigned by Hatchetman. But I can attest to the durability of this machine, Corporal Torres was a hood Mechwarrior and a aggressive brawler. I watched her bring that machine limping back to the hanger half scrapped after jump jetting alone into the middle of a enemy lance and taking them apart with pure speed and violence. This is a machine that can bring a pilot home. It may be old but it’s still a good war machine.

As for the Vulcan, mixed feelings there. I’m a periphery mech warrior so I’m used to fighting infantry and armour far more often than mechs, and I’ve fought against more insurgencies than I can count. So I see the value of the machine and I’ve even thanked the gods a few times seeing it on the field. But it’s just so specialized and is so under armed to fight other mechs I can’t help but view it as kinda a death trap. Of course none of this is taking into account a lot of the fancy advance tech inner sphere variants of course. I’m sticking to the basics here because that’s what I know.

The Guillotine is one of the best mechs out of 2750. It's well armed, well armored, comparatively low cost in BV, and is a great brawler or guard for sniper/fire support designs like Archers, Marauders, and so on. You can also use them alongside cavalry units such as Grasshoppers, Tempests, jump capable Thunderbolts like the 8M from the Rec Guide, and more. The Davions ended up with one in the 3060s with the 8D, swapping out the SHS for doubles, adding in a Streak 6, 4 ER ML, 2 ER LL, and a TC for an excellent strike unit. The Wobbie variants are a mixed bag of either IJJ snipers or the WB which has terrible heat sinking capacity (10 DHS)for 4 ER ML, an LRM-15 with one ton of ammo, and a Heavy PPC, of coursing using C3i. I'm not sold on eithe of the Wobbie variants or the traditional post Jihad C3 Slave/Guardian ECM replacement the ROTSies and the Leauge succesor states decided to use. Personally I think the original, the 5M, the 8D and the latest 7M are the best of the bunch, preserving and enhancing the medium or long range energy firepower backed by a full up 6 rack. It's always nice when Marik cam get nice things, and the Guillotine is one.

By itself the 3025 Guillotine is just so-so. Its average, but with a distinct weakness in lacking much in weapon range. Its main benefit is its heavy jump jets. The GLT-7M model is an upgrade replacing the Large Laser to an Extended Range PPC, replacing the Medium Lasers with 2 medium range Light PPCs, the SRM-6 with a Streak SRM-6, and using Double Heat Sinks to manage this. The GLT-8d uses 4 Extended Range Medium Lasers, 2 Extended Range Large Lasers, and a Streak SRM-6 with Double Heat Sinks. Now the Guillotine IIC, hehe, it uses clan weapons as a substantial upgrade. It mount a Clan-grade ER PPC, 2 Clan Large Pulse Lasers with long range, 2 Clan ER Medium Lasers equivalent to the original Guillotine's Large Laser, and an SRM-6.

See, this is what I mean. COMMIT. Get that large laser off, put a medium on there and pile on the armour. You’ll backshoot the enemy in a single volley with those jump jets. If it can take them, slap on some small lasers as well. The amount of armour you’re carrying makes it hard for the bad guys to respond, if they are still around. At least, that’s how I run my grasshopper, which this does seem very close to, indeed. Don’t plink away at them with a single large laser! Commit to the Alpha Strike! HIT ALL THE BUTTONS, I’M FIRIN’ MAH LAYZORS!!! (And the missiles I guess, for the pyrotechnics!) Basically, if it doesn’t look like a rock concert when it fires, I’m not interested. (Joking, natch!

I''ve never understood why there is no official all energy weapon variant of the design. I used to run 4L variants which removed the SRM-6 for an extra Medium Laser while restoring the heat sinks to the 3N level, or 4Ps stripping the SRM-6 and ammo for the PPC and two extra heat sinks instead of reducing the armor. And In the Star League era I sometimes ran 3Ns which removed the SRM and ammo for two Medium Lasers and two heat sinks. The Guillotine IIC I ran stripping the SRM-6 to swap the ER Medium Lasers for Medium Pulse Lasers and adding half a ton of armor.

The 3N has almost no Starleague Era technology. The difference between the 3N and 4L "downgrade package" is 3 heat sinks and the CASE system. The 4L is a perfectly acceptable mech in its own right. Honestly? The Guillotine is a mediocre mech. Good armor. OK weapons package. Decent heat management. Standard speed. And it has jump jets. Perfectly acceptable if I can get one for my lance. But give me the choice between a Guillotine, a Warhammer and an Archer? I'm stuck between the Warhammer and Archer. I'd have to be exclusively in Urban combat to even consider the Guillotine to be superior to those other 70 tonners. Even if it was the 3N model vs the Succession War versions of the other mechs. I'm a little disappointed that there is no version that removes the SRM launcher to make this a more survivable "zombie" mech. Rip out the SRM-6, one ML and the 1 ton of SMR ammo. Replace it with a CT large laser. While this variant loses significant amounts of crit seeking potential, the doubling of long range firepower makes this more viable in my mind. Especially considering that the 4L has enough heat sinks to keep firing both large lasers and jump with no heat gain.

@@BigRed40TECH I agree. In 3025 IMHO they are interchangeable, but in 3050 and beyond the Guillotine is just better. The only Hoppers worth mentioning are the named ones the Gravedigger (for TSM) and Reynolds( for clan tech). I can't wait for the Guillotine IIc review. It's essentially a lighter, standard engined, jumping Warhawk C.

@@joshuamidgette4846 True story I got the first Flashman mini when Iron Wind reissued them back at the start of the Jihad. I had a bulk order in and a week before the official release they allowed me to add a unreleased Flashman. Telling me I had the first one out of the molds. First game after I ended up squared off against a freaking Devastator in a city fight. I wished I had my Guillotine.

​@@Thud-pq8rl, I agree. However, when someone finally got around to dropping pulse lasers on the hopper, it's better. The Guillotine never got that load out.

The Guillotine... The Grasshopper By Wish. It's not terrible, but it's not as good as the design that follows it. The lack of hands and the weapon placement is just bad enough to make it terrible at melee.

Just like the ugly duckling you cant underestimate how great this mech can be :-) mobile, tough and hits hard it ticks many boxes that a heavy mech needs to tick to be considered useful....I'd still have a grasshopper over it but both are great :-)

Ah, the guillotine and grasshopper. The two mechs I hate more than any other half assed abomination. Easily most hated in the earlier mechs and possibly out of all mechs, yes I know thats a high bar but theres something unexplainable about these two that really make me want to drink a few gallons of bleach.

The lack of the fact this mech does not straight up have a grappling hook and a large blade to hack heads off mechs. I am disappointed. Going to send a strongly worded letter to the Hegemony. Wait....does the Hegemony still exist? I sent a lot of complaints and got no response back. Other than ComStar Mechs landing right in my backyard and destroy my swimming pool!
