Where did all the weight go though thats what I'm trying to figure out tbh. Its really obvious why the annihilator or atlas weighs 100 tons but the warhammer IIC looks like it should weigh like 50 lol.

Yes. It comes in at 80ton, 75tons are the cut off for heavies. Its a slightly heavier armored version of its Innersphere counter part, the 75ton Warhammer, having gained 5tons.

And much like it always is on their last/first 5ton variants they bleed into the other classes. In this case, it plays like a heavy mech.

Doesn't look like you are standing on even ground.

Guys I was (clearly) talking about appearance and appearance only. Even compared to its IS counterpart it is both shorter and less bulky. I understand it could be made of heavier armor but the clans are more advanced and use lighter more flexible materials for their armor than the IS which is also why its odd to consider that the metal would just weigh more.

Also no even standing right next to that centurion the Warhammer IIC is still only like a meter taller and thats it. Was just trying to get the best PoV.

I like it alot but ya i agree with you pretty small looking. Looks great dont get me wrong and the smaller profile is better, but i feel like it should atleast be the size of a IS warhammer

According to the dimension charts a Centurion is 15m tall and the Warhammer is 17m (the Warhammer IIC will be the same size) so there really aint that much in it, just like 5 tonns is not a huge difference. Also the perspective of your picture is pretty misleading, they would need to be stood side by side on lvl ground to give a real representation.

As I said above I couldn't get a good picture of both mechs with them side by side, they were too wide. Also as I said above there was only like a 1 meter difference so I guess I was pretty close. Sheesh, more like Warhammer -IIC lol. At least it looks really cool and performs well.

Ishan, i thought you got your numbers straight! The IS Warhammer is 70 tons, not 75 tons. And yes it's got a small frontal profile. Just a bit larger than the Warhammer.

So it is chunkier in all areas than the centurion, but it's definitely a svelte assault.

Looks a lot better scaled when next to the catapult:

Altogether, it's almost exactly the same size as the normal Warhammer, so the extra tonnage hasn't expanded it much.
