I finally picked it up yesterday and one thing I'll say is that it seems to be VERY full of some bulky-ass mechs, especially on the Clans side. I can't remember exact names right now (I haven't committed all of the mechs to mind visually and verbally yet), but there just seems to bee a lot of really bulky Assaulters (and even some lighter ones).
What do you guys think about the Readout as a whole?

It's a nice one...some of the WoB mechs are well colorful...yeah that's it...
Over all I would give it a 6 out of 10.

I like it a lot. Some of the new designs are pretty cool, but I especially like the revamped unseens,and some other upgrades that show up in the reinforcement sheets 3067.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I like it better than 3055 or 3060, but not as much as any of the others.

I wish they'd get here. I haven't fond one yet in stores around here.

I actually really liked 3060. It gave us some of my favorite designs, such as The Pillager, Kodiak and various others.

Am I gonna seem really REALLY old if I say my faves are still 3025 and 3050? Oh, screw it. I'm gonna say it anyway.
Overall, tech-inflation is ruining the game, for me anyway (just my $0.02)

Hmm, I usually don't pay attention to most tech beyond 3058. Light Gauss Rifles are kinda a waste, I hate most of the new armors, new engines are more trouble than they're worth.
Anyone know in which book the rules for Rotary Auto Cannons and the Tactical Missles are?

BattleTech Master Rules Revised or FM Warden Clans and FM Federated Suns.
I think my fav is the original 3025. I like the new IS light engine. Other than that I pretty much prefer the good ol'days.

Ok, here are some examples of some extremely bulky mechs.
Hellfire (clan)
Bloodkite (Clan)
Savage Coyote (Clan)
Vanquisher (IS)
Fafnir (IS)
These aren't the only examples. I, personally, really like the looks of these monsters. They look like what a real life Battlemech would look like, bulky, to fit all those parts and components.
