I see the jackal-like appearance too, also reflected in the “ears” for the head up top, but to scroll upwards from the feet first, the Anubis design just looks so insectile. Regarding the initial build shortcomings, were the manufacturing facilities ever expanded? Did none of the fielded variant models of the Anubis correct or reverse the corner-cutting in the construction of this 'Mech? Ah, I like the sounds of the 3MC configuration; bring on the experimental gear. Yes, it's a long legged speed freak in battle, but with lightly-loaded armour and variable heat management issues, is it the daddy long legs? The Anubis really had effort put into making it look across multiple images here like an oversized face of the Egyptian god attached to a set of disproportionate limbs, but the Osiris is reminiscent of another walking BattleTech tank. That second 'Mech also looks similar to World War II-era military aircraft tech, or even the fighters and bombers of 40k's Imperium. Osiris' base loadout seems to make it stouter for striding into closer combat, over the Anubis. I'd give the first official, FedCom Civil War-derived variant a try but I'd skip the second FASA variant from out of the Jihad; too dependent upon a single laser cannon forcing reduced mobility. The red-white-and-blue Popsicle® Ice Pop color scheme seen atfter 10:15 is very patriotic. MechWarrior-exclusive variants are really rare inclusions in an average BattleMech's profile, so this lore treat was also easy excuse/source for some shiny, hi-res digital details. The Sekhmet's name was a neat 'wink' of a closing touch. As nearly idiosyncratic and superficial as this duo's common theme is, at least they add a nod to influence from this particular part of human Earth history. And they add yet more meat to your massive menu of 'Mechs in the universe, Narrator. So, as usual, I thank you for that. 'Til next visit next week, have a healthy and awesome day...not too sweltering, ideally.

Oh boy Mike I can imagine those Osiris ice popsicles. being sold for a good price at any local stores, yes I'll have too please plus I'm glad I am not the only one that thinks the Osiris world war II bomberplane in the mockery of a god I'm thinking DQ ice cream restaurants logo would have been more fitting." 😁👍

Thanks for another video on mechs! I think though a important part of the Anubis's background was missed. The Mech's factory on Detroit (world) was reason why the Magistracy was annexing the planet because of the factory from Fronc Reaches, then eventually Capellans took over from them. It's why the Anubis is more a Capellan mech after the 3070s going forwards.

Nice to see a little info on some of the more obscure max. As for the name thing, look at Steiner being a Great House with strong Northern European influences, and Rasalhague as well, then go look for the Egyptians in the setting. I’m not sure I remember any specific mentions, let alone enclaves of them trying to rally around a mythic culture.

Oh boy one thing I like about the Anubis. is how it looks like the god with the missile, battery system as it's ears making it look like unearthly Mech design, plus having stealth system is not bad with a long-range weapon systems, I" like the mix stealth and range, yes the Abs-4c is calling my name again, "OSIRIS" I love That name. I have to say it has a lot of firepower, plus I kinda find it funny, that the Osiris looks like a front part of a world war II bomberplane, then Egyptian god But still it looks good, and at 10:17 it's amusing what Mike pointed out that it looks like an ice popsicle, I can imagine the ice cream trucks making ice cream versions of Osiris's being sold on the streets to the kitties,😅 yes the gods are coming with firepower and wrath and Detroit backing them up oh boy at least in the BattleTech universe they're making great stuff again,"😃👍

The name choices are death-related in theme, with Anubis being god of the dead & funerary practices and Osiris being the god of death and resurrection. Both being lords of the underworld.

and ironically not good at the death part, especially Anubis. It's weapons load out are pretty...not worth fielding in some cases.

I really do like these two, especially the Anubis it goes very well with other Light battle line mechs. I primarily pair it with the Scarabus my self.

Always loved the Anubis but felt an upgrade was necessary hence Anubis MkII custom makes was introduced and even commissioned 3D print

Anubis crouches behind cover and fires indirect lrm 5 x 2 support. Bunny ears not so much. Pack of 4 becomes jackalopes.
