MechWarrior Online offers custom ‘Mech to stomp out cancer

jr7-dsIn honor of the loss of one of the MechWarrior Online Community’s youngest pilots, Sarah Parries, Piranha Games have created and released a specialized version of the Jenner JR7-D.   The ‘Mech, which will be available in about a month’s time, features a custom paint scheme–complete with rainbows and teddy bears–is loaded out with a pretty respectable engine and a decent loadout.  Why a Jenner? Why this loadout?  Why the big engine?

Sarah’s favourite ‘Mech chassis was the Jenner with streak SRMs, because she liked to lock on. She loved speeding around with night-vision and lots of medium lasers so she could, “get ’em good!”, blazing through the Inner Sphere with her father Jon. Sarah was an excellent sport and shared her dad’s passion for BattleTech.

Sarah’s Jenner sells for $10, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.  Gamers have already raised over $20,000 in donations.  If you want to contribute, you can visit MechWarrior Online.
