Canonicity[edit]
This was released by Catalyst Game Labs, which would normally make it a Canonical product. However, it is unclear to what extent it is intended to be Canon, given the unique tone and presentation of the book. One section invites the reader to assemble an "OmniMech" by cutting out pictures of parts taken from a variety of other OmniMechs, and offers as an example the "Starhawk", which is not referenced in any other publication to date. While not explicitly "noncanon" or "apocryphal", this book should not be relied on as a source.
Notes[edit]
- Images appearing in the book are all-new images of Clan OmniMechs and BattleMechs including an alternate rendition of the Phoenix Hawk which did not appear in any product prior to this book.
- The file can be accessed at CGL's page for the title.
