BATTLETECH: The Atlas II
#BATTLETECH #Atlas
“Big Red-40TECH”
First built by the #TerranHegemony for the #StarLeague and #SLDF, the #AtlasII is the sequel to the original #Atlas, though this time, made for the #RoyalDivisions that were loyal first and foremost to #HouseCameron, the #FirstLords of the League itself.
After this, the #Mech would vanish…

The Atlas II is apart of the Star League Command Lance in Plastic, and is coming out this month most likely.
If you can't wait for that, it is out with Iron Wind Metals as we speak: https://www.ironwindmetals.com/index.php/categories/cat-battletech/cat-bt-ncm/product/battletech-bt-473/category_pathway-2

Technical Readout 3025: (For Atlas)
And there were a few more that I lost in my notes. 🙁
I'm surprised you managed to wring an hour and change out of the Atlas II. I didn't think there was that much history around this, and that it had a much smaller place in history.
This feels like a much more natural and logical evolution of the Atlas than the Atlas 3… but that also goes to show why the Atlas 2 isn't as memorable or distinct as its own thing as the 3. It also doesn't hurt that the art for the 3 isn't misleading, unlike the 2, which looks like it has an UAC or RAC instead of an LBX AC… despite only one listed config sporting a RAC, and that one came after the Atlas 3 had one in its base version.
I have a hard time believing that the Atlas II was produced in any significant number in the one year they had to be produced before the Ameris Civil War. To the extent I imagine the number of Atlas II pilots that made till the end of the Civil War could be counted on one had. How could they have the tooling to make new ones anywhere else but the factory producing them.
I feel like there is an analogy for the reason behind Nicholas Kerensky's death being blatant Clan Wolf favoritism and the IlClan Era.
Finally, Atlas II…
100t JJs are "fun", but LAMs is more fun.
(Yes, you can)
I have an atlas II middle, figuring that I painted like the Hulk Buster so now I’m definitely gonna try to paint this one as the phantom when I get it
The lore you did on the Atlas II was beautiful. I enjoyed watching this video.
This was an excellent video that really answered a lot of my questions that I had. Thanks for putting it together in such a concise way.
Hold my beer and Let me get my paintbrush I will paint it the phantom.
I don't get it? How did a laser penetrate the head of a fresh Atlas 2?
If you breed a superior human, you breed superior ambition.
wtf BigRed pronounces "hegemony" properly WTF
Edit: ok nvm were back to hegenemy 😄
So question, when you say that the atlas was the only 100 tonner in the first techincal readout, wasn't the King Crab also there? I thought it was an old design too. Well Lore-wise too, its from around the same period.
If only Nicholas, in his overconfidence, did not inexplicably remove two points of head armor from Unity, he would not have been so thoroughly charred by that ER Large Laser. /j
where is the AS7-D-H2?
“A burnt bag of dehydrated meat” – a fitting tombstone epithet for Evil Nicky K 🍻
😶 Alright you've convinced me that the Atlas ii though a well done job is a late Star League retro insert 😥
Your reading of the passage at the end, pertaining to Kerensky's death, was particularly well-done.
"when you're in an atlas, you can fight the storm, you can win"
Your videos are by far my favorite in BattleTech lore. awesome video
PLEASE GIVE ME THE LINK TO THE MAP AT 4:13, IT LOOKS AWESOME AND I WANT TO SEE IT MORE?!?!
I'm looking forward to Atlas VI: Atlas Harder
Imagine ordering two Atlases and getting an Atlas-II instead.
Great video, Red.
Great video as always Red. Really enjoy listening while painting.
So a new Lyran Scout 'Mech.
Are you going to do a KerenskyCon video???
Always worth waiting for content on this channel as it's so good!!
I would ride in a SL Crab, but i wouldn't turn down an Atlas 2 or an Atlas base.
Are there better assault mechs? Probably. Are there cheaper heavy mechs that can do something similar? Also likely. Does anything compare to the sheer badassery of the skull-faced horror of an Atlas grinning at you through shattered cockpit and broken armour as it breaks through your lines? I don't think so.
Ahh the epitome of the much feared Steiner scout.

"Remember idiots, pay your phone bill or Interstellar AT&T will come a knockin' with bullets and blade."
Seeing a map of Star League with all its members at its greatest extent feels like seeing a map of Rome at its peak.
Nicholas got the easy way out, imagine him growing old and being assassinated by a member of clan wolvorine or widowmaker.
Atlas mugged 💀
Since every Atlas II pilot left with the Exodus, I'm really surprised the Clans never came up with a IIC or Omni variant. I guess we have Nicholas Kerensky's later variant.
