I have had several games with the Helios that were good. The mech is surprisingly survivable with the standard engine and medium grade armor. I do consider the mech a St. Ives machine. The mech fits right in with Capellan gauss rifle lineups with mechs and vehicles like the Pillager and Regulator. Never tried the other variants other than the HEL-3D and HEL-C.

@Magermh It's not to flashy and gets the job done well enough to play it more, just wished it looked better

This looks like a rejected robot design from The Black Hole. Solid loadout with a great hole puncher and a plethora of short ranged goodness. JJs let you get into exploitable positions. Love that it has a standard engine; it should stick around a little longer than its armor might suggest.

@@matthewmarek1467 Man, it's been a long time since I've watched that movie 🎬 It sure does need a new plastic redesign

Started playing in '90 in Japan while I was in the Navy. The leader of our playing group was a personal friend of the ceo of the company that made the lead miniatures & Michael Stackpole - so he had lots of inside info of what was coming up. My first mech was an Exterminator in the service of ComStar, which I used to good effect as a monkey wrench in everyone's plans. Haven't played in ages but still have great memories of the guys I played with over time.

@Dov_ben-Maccabee That's a big connection to the early years of the game. I've met a few of the FASA crew back in the early days at Gen Con as the talked to the players. The Exterminator is a good mech back in the days before the Clans invasion.

Hi, reduce the twin SRM6 down to SRM4's add on extra armor, plus SRM4 have a default tighter shot group with faster cool down 😎

[@Helcarexe26]

@jameskish4044 That's an improvement in the armor department

[@Ranalcus]

St. Ives / Cappy's Bodyguard Heavy mech for more costly Assault mechs

[@Helcarexe26]

@Ranalcus It does a good job with the bodyguard role, I've had good luck with it and the others designed go with it

[@sharlin648]

A capable 'mech but dear GOD does it need new art and a new model! Its a bit squishy but its still a capable machine and its got a nice slew of configs.

[@Helcarexe26]

@sharlin648 So true, that art work and model looks so goofy with those missile pods on top.

[@verysilentmouse]

Its in the 2nd star league pack coming to a flgs soon tm

[@Helcarexe26]

@verysilentmouse Ohhhh sweet that's good news about the new design 👌
