Character Warjacks

When I think of a Character Warjack, I think of a Warjack that is devastating, a Warjack that can change the game, and just gets better with a Warcaster they were raised with. A Warjack that is an Epic Incarnation of an older Warjack.

Beast-09 is a perfect example of this. A Juggernaut with more abilities than Critical Freeze. On top of that, it gained the ability to move when damaged, Reach and Thresher on its Axe which kept Critical Freeze. On top of that, it spends a focus and gains a bonus to attacks against living warrior models. On top of that, the ability to reroll charge and slam attacks when fielded alongside it's desired Warcaster, Sorscha. On top of that, Epic Sorscha can bond with him to provide her Freezing Aura.

Drago is just the same, where it's a powerful Berserker with extra features that evade my mind at the moment, and gets an extra dice on it's attack while with Vlad. Considering the other benefits both Vlads provide, Drago becomes pretty amazing.

Behemoth is the Character Jack for everyone. He has no preference and gains the same benefits any other warjack would get, but has his own unique layout of weapons and features that no other Warjack has. So he pretty much gets exempt from this discussion.

Same goes for the Scrapjack, not because he doesn't get better with his preferred Warcaster, the Old Witch, but because he can't be placed with any other Warcaster.

So that leaves us with Torch, our very own Assault Kommando Warjack. He has his own layout of weapons, including a Buzzsaw and an Open Fist with a mounted Flame thrower. He has additional features, such as Smoke Bombs and an immunity to Corrosion and Fire, he charges through rough terrain without hassle, and he can bond with Strakhov.

That's about it. He's about as special as the Behemoth in that instance, except that he can be bonded to a particular Warcaster. In fact, that's about all the benefits he gets. Beast-09 and Drago have affinities which gives them the bonuses for fielding them with their Warcaster. I feel Torch was ripped off on this aspect, but I live and let live. Torch is still awesome, and I'll use him with Strakhov when I play him.

But coming up over the horizon is Harkevich and his own character Warjack: Black Ivan. I don't know anything about them except that they look cool. And I mean freaking cool. Even Imperial might look less cool! _*cough*

Either way, I'm going to have a Fourth Destroyer Warjack. But the lucky Bastard will have special rules.

Now as a Character Warjack, will he get benefits like Beast-09, or will he be pretty static like Torch?
