alright, this is what I'm talking about! (well, not exactly, but we're closer to the "flying saucer" kind of vibe I originally wanted)

honestly, just that makes it look a lot less like any other LAM and more like, y'know, something General Motors put together to tell the SLDF "hey, look at how bad Allied Aerospace's Shadow Hawk LAM failed, now look at our 55-ton LAM! it's so good!"

#battletech #the bushmaster in my lore is purely a marketing failure. GM tried really hard. they really wanted to make the fourth musketeer.#nobody wanted the fourth musketeer because the griffin wolverine and shadow hawk were good enough.#so they moved on to heavier mechs and struck gold with the marauder and the rest is history.#well until the LAM project happened at which point they immediately tried to muscle in with this beautiful beast.#which suffered not only from the bushmaster's previous marketing failures but the bad press around LAMs.
